In car news, the Toyota GR Corolla has been revealed, the USA has committed to stricter fuel economy standards, the BYD Seal electric car has been revealed, and Honda is pairing with GM on an expanded electric car range.

Tony Crawford dials in to talk about the Chevrolet Corvette, and Mike Costello discusses the latest VFACTS sales results.
