Patriotic Car Brands, Electric Fiat 500, Sam Fiorani on Hot Auto Topics
(Show Notes)

Jill and Tom opened the show noting that elements of the media have been misusing the term “mild hybrid.” Listen in for details. The hosts ran down a questionable list of the “most-patriotic brands,” which included Ford and Jeep. What other carmakers made the list? Listen in.
Still in the first segment, Jill and Tom reviewed the new, likable, Fiat 500e electric coupe. Fiat’s new subcompact electric runabout boasts a fun design and frisky on-road experience, but won’t be perfect for everyone.
In the second segment, Sam Fiorani of AutoForecast Solutions joins the show to catch up on a number of hot topics, including: The future of Dodge, the Hyundai/General Motors tie-up, slumping Ram-pickup sales, and more.
In the last segment Jill is subjected to Tom’s “Front drive or AWD” quiz.
