The Chicago Auto Show started this weekend and we were there for the press preview day before it began. This is the first major U.S. auto show in over a year, the last one being, you guessed it, the Chicago show in February of 2020.
Moving to a one-time summer format means that some of the show is outdoors and there is a lot to see and do. Here’s our quick rundown of what to see there.

In this special episode, Aaron and Kristin talk about one of the most legendary supercars on the road: the Nissan GT-R. With it’s powerful, handbuilt engine, extreme performance numbers, and iconic looks, the GT-R is a difficult car to miss. While it does have some downsides related to its age, the Nissan GT-R is respected by every car person and performance enthusiast on the planet. Or should be.
In this episode, Kristin and Aaron talk about the all-new 2021 Escalade and how Cadillac’s luxury game has improved. The Escalade is huge amounts of space and luxury in one package. Here’s our assessment as a team.

In this episode, Kristin asks Aaron about the all-new, fully redesigned Rogue and what he thinks of it. Aaron talks about the Nissan Rogue and how it changed the game before and continues to change things for the better now. This is Nissan’s best-selling vehicle and they definitely had to bring an A-game to it.
Watch for Aaron’s full review of the Rogue coming soon.
While controversial on its launch, the Ford Mustang Mach-E has proven itself to be a winner to most of those who’ve driven it. In this video, we talk about the new electric crossover from Ford and about Kristin’s impressions and daily use of it for a week. Aaron tries not to ramble on about things too much too. It’s refreshing.
In this episode, we talk about the new turbocharged engine found in the Mazda3 sedan and hatchback as well as the CX-30. Both labeled “Turbo” models to designate their engine choice, these vehicles greatly benefit from the added power and low-end torque given by the turbocharged addition. Here’s our thoughts on both.
