Automakers Rev Their Engines For Geneva Motor Show
Marty Padgett, editorial director for Motor Authority, discusses what we should look for at the Geneva Motor Show, as well as the scandal enveloping automakers such as Volkswagen, BMW, and Daimler. The car brands are in hot water after attempting to suppress results from animal testing.
Padgett says all eyes will be on Jaguar's I-Pace electric SUV. The car is Jaguar's answer to the Tesla Model X. Padgett explains Tesla has "reset expectations."
Padgett also talks about Pal-V's flying car. The vehicle features an internal combustion engine with 100 horsepower and has a combined 310 mile range.
Padgett also breaks down the scandal involving VW, BMW, and Daimler. The brands attempted to suppress test results that subjected monkeys to hours of diesel fuel inhalation. The results didn't show the data the companies wanted. Padgett says it will take a generation for VW to recover.
