$30,000 Ford EV Gets a Name, Honda Accord Turns 50, Durango R/T Review
(Show Notes)

News – Ford Fathom
Jill and Tom open the show discussing Ford’s just named $30,000 small electric pickup, the Fathom. Ford did not share pictures of its “Model T Moment” new model, but promised that deliveries will begin by the end of 2027.
Rumor – GMC Jimmy
Tom discussed the GMC Jimmy, a Toyota 4Runner-like body-on-frame SUV rumored for production around 2030. A companion model does not appear to be in the cards for Chevrolet.
Review – Dodge Durango
Still in the first segment, Jill reviews the Dodge Durango midsize crossover. Dodge’s long-lived family-friendly model has been given a new lease on life–this due to rolled back fuel economy standards–and now boasts a slate of exciting engine options. Listen in to hear Jill’s take.
Guest – Honda Accord Turns 50
In the second segment the hosts welcome John Vincent of U.S. News and World Report. John has written a pair of stories recognizing the 50th anniversary of the Honda Accord. John has owned several Accords, and has a lot to say about the car’s importance in U.S. automotive history. Listen in for a great conversation.
Quiz
In the last segment Jill is subjected to Tom’s “30 MPG?” quiz. And, as an addendum to last week’s Honda Prelude review, Tom clarifies a couple of points regarding varying hybrid systems.
