News

Jill and Tom open the show by talking about the Jeep Grand Cherokee’s new engine, the Hurricane inline 6-cylinder engine found in Ram trucks. The engine replaces the Hemi V8 as the Cherokee’s top-dog motor.

Slate Motors

Jill went on to share her concern that the Slate EV will not arrive in customer driveways before the end of the year. Tom questions–again–the viability of a 2-door vehicle in the U.S. market, even if the price is right.

Tim Healey

In the second segment, the hosts welcome veteran auto journalist Tim Healey to the show. A number of topics are covered, including vehicles that should sell better. Tim’s pick is interesting.
