## Resource

Hot Wheels have been a favorite for enthusiasts of all ages, and this week Greg Migliore catches up with the man behind the wheels: Senior Design Manager Craig Callum. We discuss the latest designs and trends and what might be coming next from this iconic brand. Then longtime automotive journalist and co-host of Autoline After Hours Gary Vasilash joins me to discuss the latest news from the car industry, including a seventh-generation Chevy Camaro (Plus sedans for Buick and Cadillac!), the revival of the Tesla Model 2, Kia’s foray into pickup trucks and another potential delay for Scout Motors. In the AutoGuide Garage, Greg test drives the Land Rover Defender Octa, Gary reviews the Polestar 4. We close things out with the mailbag, where we figure out what’s next for EVs like the VW ID.4.
