For the final episode of 2020, our intrepid crew reconvenes to discuss what’s in the garage and what’s happening the industry. Rebecca had a pair of Lexus LS500s to sample. First the 2020 F-Sport version and then the mildly refreshed 2021 edition. Sam got to spend a day with the redesigned 2021 Kia Sorento with the newly available hybrid drivetrain. When the Kia went back it was replaced with Chevrolet’s new small crossover with the old name, the 2021 Trailblazer. Dan wrapped up his time with the Ford F-350 XLT Tremor.
In the news, there has been a revival of the rumors of an Apple car and the team discusses why this may or may not ever actually happen and how it might happen if it becomes real. The year is wound up with a bunch of listener questions including electric restomods, modern vehicle ergonomics and corporate culture. We all hope you enjoy the show and keep listening into 2021 and beyond.
