About this listen

Jill and Tom opened up the show by clarifying a point made last week. Indeed, the only Mercedes-Benz wagon offered for sale in the U.S. is the “All-Terrain” variant of the midsize E-class. Tom noted similar wagon offering limitations in the Volvo, Audi, and BMW lineups.

The hosts also chatted briefly about Ram’s extended powertrain warranty which takes effect for the 2026 model year. Listen in to hear how the new protection plan, combined with the newly available Hemi engine, might spark sales for the truck maker.

Still in the fist segment, Jill reviews the Cadillac Optiq electric compact crossover.

In the second segment Jill and Tom welcome Patrick Masterson of Cars.com. Patrick shared findings found in the Cars 2025 American Made Index. Which vehicles are the “most American?” Listen in for details.

In the last segment Jill is subjected to Tom’s “Honda CR-V Hybrid or Not?” quiz. Jill wrapped up the show discussing an elderly acquaintance’s troubling dealership experience.
