- Honda Ridgeline TrailSport, Lower Jeep Prices, The Magic Behind Jeep Colors Consumer Guide Automotive, Tom Appel, Jill Ciminillo 55:37
Jill and Tom opened the show with a brief acknowledgement of Ford’s plan to add 4-door and off-road “Baja” variants to the Mustang lineup. The hosts also discussed the trimmed-down model lineup and reduced prices of the 2025 Jeep Compass. Compass prices have been slashed by up to $2000 for '25.
Also in the first segment, Jill reviewed the Honda Ridgeline TrailSport midsize pickup truck. Though the least-capable—in terms of payload and towing capacity—model in the segment, the Ridgeline shines in terms of room, comfort, and handing. Listen in for Jill’s complete review.
In the second segment the hosts welcome Stellantis Vice President of Advanced Colors and Material La Shirl Turner to the show. In a conversation primarily about car colors, La Shirl shared insights into how new colors are developed, and what her favorite current Stellantis colors are. (We will post examples on our Facebook page.)
In the last segment Jill is subjected to Tom’s “One or Two” car-price quiz, and Jill talked about her recent travels with eBay motors.
