Season 5 of "Drive to Survive" on Netflix drops today. Are you watching?

The weather turned nasty for a lot of us this week, and it's heated-seat time again.

A report in Autoblog today details the protests that are taking place in Michigan as Ford plans to build a battery plant in the town of Marshall.

A plant, which we should note, was slated to be built in Virginia before that state/commonwealth's governor said "nah."

Between Corey's trip to the Lane Motor Museum in Nashville and a tweet I saw from a prominent industry person over the long weekend, I've been wondering -- what is the best car museum in the country?

Yesterday, when discussing internally which one of us might write up the Buick Encore GX, I accidentally referred to it as an Encore GNX. That's because I am old enough to remember the Buick Regal GNX. We all had a quick laugh and then Chris Tonn reminded me that Dodge's new Hornet will have a GLH trim in a nod to the old "Goes Like Hell" Shelbys.

Chris then suggested that we ask you, the B and B, which new crossover should get a trim level that's nodding to the past.

Venerable consumer-oriented publication Consumer Reports has its 2023 Brand Scorecard out. BMW topped it.

Yesterday, I was part of a panel discussion about the automotive industry, and one of the topics was tech.

Chris compiled the car ads from last night's Super Bowl this morning, and I added my two cents.

Now, it's your turn.

I am not sure if I should even do this QOTD, but it's a Friday and there's a big football game this weekend, so it feels appropriate. It's not car related, and it's the kind of question that could break the internet, but I am going to ask it anyway.

What style of pizza do you prefer?

Today's QOTD is pretty self-explanatory. What vehicle that debuted here in Chicago caused you to sit up and take notice?

This afternoon I will be moving my base of operations from Chicago's North Side to its Near South Side for the duration of the week. That's because it's time for the press days for the 2023 Chicago Auto Show.

We've been reporting on recalls a fair bit lately. Of course, covering recalls is always part of the automotive journalism biz, since it's a bread-and-butter topic.

I had a conversation with a couple of non-auto-industry friends last week about cell phone use while driving. This started when someone complained about people not seeing green lights because they were on their phones.

There are photos on the Intertoobz of the Tesla Cybertruck testing, undisguised, in California.

Hyundai announced today that the maximum range in the Ioniq6 will be a tick over 360 miles.

Not bad!
