TTAC At The 2026 New York International Auto Show
About this episode
New York Auto Show coverage mixes brand strategy, off-road gear, and quick takes on fresh concepts. Infinity exec Eric Landrieu talks “bounce back” momentum, highlighting a one-vehicle-per-year cadence and the QX65 as the next chapter—plus a high-performance sedan, a smaller e-power hybrid SUV, and even frame-based plans. Tire deflator expert Matthew Guy explains why airing down helps off-road traction and how a valve-mounted deflator with a gauge beats the old rock-and-needle method. Tim Healy then spotlights Hyundai’s Boulder pickup concept (2030 target), Kia’s EV3 and refreshed design language, Subaru’s Wilderness Hybrid and Getaway EV, and a steadier Volkswagen Atlas update.

Ford F150
