Jill and Tom opened the show covering a number of news items. First, Mini is dropping the “Cooper” tag from its model names moving forwarding—this is good news for editors everywhere. Plus, one industry supplier is developing “heel” airbags. Listen in to learn what that’s all about. And, Hyundai luxury brand Genesis is close to introducing a line-topping large crossover dubbed GV90. The big Genesis should start around $100,000. 

Still in the first segment, Jill and Tom review the sporty Subaru BRZ tS. Both hosts spent time with the little rear-drive hatchback, and both lament the little Subaru’s low sales numbers. 

In the second segment, Jill and Tom welcome Ford’s Lindsey Bertino to the show. Lindsey is the maker’s Police Brand Marketing Manager. Lindsey talked about Ford’s police-vehicle lineup, and the 75th anniversary of Ford’s first police-vehicle. 

In the last segment, Jill is subjected to Tom’s “What’s it made of?” Quiz.
