Shift Talkers

Jeff Glucker has Jalopnik's Jason Torchinsky, CNET's Tim Stevens, Diesel Power's KJ Jones and Roadkill's own David Freiburger discussing all things automotive. Topics for the panel include Genesis, LS engines, electric drag cars and perfect first mods.

Jeff Glucker leads a panel that's too smart for its own good. They'll try to find common ground on topics like the Dodge Charger, the best form of auto sport, and cars so old they might as well be held together by tree sap and dreams.

Jeff Glucker has journalist Elana Scherr, The Drive's Patrick George, photographer Larry Chen and The Smoking Tire's Matt Farah. They discuss SUVs versus wagons, F1 versus Drift versus Rallycross and the greatest cars that were doomed from the beginning.

Jonny Lieberman gives a ride-or-die defense of the Porsche 911. Everyone weighs in on the "next big thing." And Tony Angelo rips into semi-autonomous driving. RJ de Vera and Mark Takahashi round out the panel.

The dark secrets of rental cars come to light, Cristy Lee tries to fix Harley-Davidson, and we determine the best car for a race across the country. It's not the newly revealed Durango Hellcat, but the panel has plenty to say about that, anyway.

The panel uncovers the most unique drift machines and digs into the controversial topic of...splitter guards. Jeff Glucker packs the car with All Girls Garage's Faye Hadley and Bogi Lateiner, The Drive's Mike Spinelli and Ed Kim of AutoPacific.

Jeff and the panel find out if classic cars are worth the trouble, if anybody can save the manual transmission, and whether the mid-engine Corvette can get its much-needed respect.

Jeff and the panel decide the fate of minivans and fix motorsports's underappreciated Formula E. Then John Naderi tries to prove that Honda is the greatest motorsport OEM ever!
