Other topics include news on two co-branding opportunities for Porsche and Hyundai (not between them, mind you!), and a health update on everyone’s favorite MC, Steve Magnante. Of course, there wouldn’t be a podcast without AutoHunter picks that, for this week, include a Canadian hybrid and a Chevy Steve McQueen used to own.
