Dear Car Pro Family,

I hope you had a wonderful Easter last Sunday.  We have a lot of great information for you today, including information for a lot of new vehicles that were debuted at the New York International Auto Show.

I also have for you the top 20 small SUVs sold in America year-to-date.  As always, I keep you up to date on what is going on with trade-in values, so I update you on that below.  Among other stories are the top 10 vehicles sold at the Barrett-Jackson Palm Beach auction earlier this month.

In new vehicle reviews, I did a review and video with the stunning 2022 Genesis G80 Sport. Our Amy Plemons brings you a full review of the very popular Mazda CX-5 2.5 Turbo.

In Car Pro Advice, I offer suggestions on the amount of down payment that is wise when doing a lease.  Since so many people have equity in their trade-ins right now, this is a must-read if you are going to be in the market.

Plus, lots of other information you will enjoy!  If you have never been to our FAQ page, take a minute and peruse the categories, something there will interest you for sure:

You’ll find the following stories as you scroll down the newsletter:

CarProUSA Radio Show host Jerry Reynolds can count the number of products he's  endorsed on one hand. He's had many opportunities, but after much due diligence, he usually ends up saying no. 

Jerry won’t recommend a product or service unless he's tried it himself and feels good about recommending it.  Here are the companies Jerry endorses and personally uses:

  Videos of the Week

A veterinarian in New Orleans has a beautiful, lifted Chevy Silverado that has been broken into EIGHT TIMES since January.  So, he takes matters into his own hands and sets up a booby trap for the next thief, all caught on security cameras.  This 2-minute video has been viewed over 4 and a half million times.  I am guessing the next thief will likely pass this truck by.

I bet most of us can safely say we have never imagined driving our car on a big rollercoaster.

How about driving on one of the world's most terrifying bridges; Japan's "Roller Coaster" bridge.

If you watch this, don't look down...or up.
