If you find yourself wishing you had some friends to talk to who are into cars, Car and Driver is here to fill that void in your life. Our new podcast, called Into Cars, is the car conversation you’ve been looking for.
The first episode is available June 6 and is hosted by me, editor-in-chief Tony Quiroga, and by a familiar name to Car and Driver readers, chief brand and content officer Eddie Alterman.
Unlike other podcasts, we don’t just sit in a studio and argue about cars. There’s definitely some of that, but we eventually leave the studio and get behind the wheel of the year’s most interesting news cars to bring you closer to the driving experience. You’ll get to hear engines revving to the redline, tires squealing, and our unfiltered thoughts on each car.
The first episode revolves around the Lamborghini Huracán Sterrato, a nearly $400,000 exotic sports car built to get dirty. With fender flares and a suspension lift, it looks like the offspring of a Huracán and a Subaru Crosstrek.
After we’re done driving, we sit down to talk to the engineers, designers, product planners, and executives responsible for the cars to get the insider stories and answer our questions. Our hope is that you’ll know everything there is to know about each car when the episode ends. Give it a listen and tell us what you think.

Tony Quiroga is a 20-year-veteran Car and Driver editor, writer, and car reviewer and the 19th editor-in-chief for the magazine since its founding in 1955. He has subscribed to Car and Driver since age six. “Growing up, I read every issue of Car and Driver cover to cover, sometimes three or more times. It’s the place I wanted to work since I could read,” Quiroga says. He moved from Automobile Magazine to an associate editor position at Car and Driver in 2004. Over the years, he has held nearly every editorial position in print and digital, edited several special issues, and also helped produce C/D’s early YouTube efforts.
