By land or sea, the options are
endless. At the auto boat of
show. And the door is open in
just about an hour. But Ruben
Dominguez, you know him, he'll
always get in early. Oh, yeah.
Always giving us a sneak peek.
He's live at NRG center. Having
the time of his life, aren't
you, Ruben? You know, I am happy
when I'm around a bunch of cars
and anything with an engine in
it and stuff that goes fast, but
the automotive show, guys, 20,
24 edition, 41 years for the
automotive show here in Houston.
Rachelle Salinas joins us. All
right EVs keep their a bigger
deal every year. We're seeing
more and more come into the
market. And we have one of the
most highly anticipated COVID
EVs of the year. Exactly. We're
looking at the Kia Ev9 this is
the new all electric three row
SUV by Kia. It is beautiful. I
mean, it's like looks very
futuristic but modern, sleek. I
love the color on it. And you
know, you've got a range of
about two thirds, 280 miles, I
think in a charge. Um, good
price range for an EV two
starting. You know, about 45 to
there. It's a beautiful vehicle,
excited about all the EVs coming
out with all the different
brands. You know, practically
everyone has an EV, so plenty of
things to learn here about
electric vehicles. You can stop
by evolve Houston. They've got a
whole space to teach you about
electric vehicles. You can also
test drive some of these, not
the EV nine yet because it's in
dealerships in February, so this
is the only place you can see it
right now. Well, I'm glad you
you specified that. And that was
my next question. Is it on
showroom floor. So another great
reason we've talked about this a
million times to come out to the
show. Because this is a chance
to get up close and personal
with so many different vehicles.
In many cases, you can sit
inside and check out the
features. It's a win win.
Absolutely. And so that's why I
love coming to the auto show
myself. I love to see people
here. Comparison shopping, not
feeling the pressure of a
dealership, but really coming
out here to experience the
vehicles, ask their questions to
the product specialist, do some
test drives. We got test drives
from Subaru, from Ford, some of
the EVs as well as the Chrysler,
Jeep Dodge brands. How does the
, sign a waiver, maybe have to
do a breathalyzer test, show
your license, make sure you have
that, and then you get to go on
a test drive right here off of
the parking lot. Why Why were
you staring at me like that when
you said breathalyzer test? I
gotta make sure everyone is
aware of the circumstances. So
get here and drive first. Then
you can have a beer later. I
thought we were friends. All
right, so doors, at what time?
We open at 11 every day this
week, 10 a.m. on the weekend.
Tickets are $20. Get them online
before you come or here at the
door. All right. You stay there.
You want to see something cool,
guys? Come here. I'll show you.
Look at this. Look how good I
look in this car. That's says it
all. See you later. Back to you
guys in the studio. I do love
that color. Especially Ruben.
