Tom Magliozzi has a problem. The wacky co-host of NPR's Car Talk
needs to replace his beloved 1952 MG roadster. But in today's car
market, where should he turn? Is new technology about to transform
the way we drive? Tom and his brother Ray hit the road in NOVA's "Car
of the Future" for a lighthearted but shrewd take on America's
four-wheeled future. Join them as they mix their trademark slapstick
with serious nuts-and-bolts analysis of what it will take to make our
autos more energy-efficient.
