Main themes: Our podcast panel digs into a recent AAA report on the sad state of headlights on older cars and gives recommendations for what motorists can do to brighten their own nighttime driving.

Driven this week: 2019 Audi A8

Audience questions:

  • Because it's going to be discontinued, what would be a good replacement for a Chevrolet Volt?
  • What's the state of a nationwide charging network across the U.S., and do we have any thoughts about the upcoming Jaguar I-Pace EV?
  • Would the Subaru Outback with the 3.6-liter engine be a good family car?

As with other "Talking Cars" episodes, this one is available free through Apple Podcasts. (Subscribe to the audio or video.) You'll also find the audio on Spotify and video on YouTube.
