Show Notes

Host Tom Appel and co-hosts Jill Ciminillo and Damon Bell start the show by discussing Toyota's recent online unveiling of the 2021 Sienna minivan and Venza midsize SUV--both of which come standard with a hybrid powertrain. Next, we talk about our test-drive experiences with the redesigned-for-2020 Nissan Sentra compact car. Carl Zipfel, Design Manager of GM's Advanced Truck Studio, calls in to fill us in on GM's full-size pickup design, GMC's AT4 sub-brand, and innovative features such as the CarbonPro bed. Tom has a "fuel tank or trunk space?" numbers quiz for Damon and Jill, and Damon shares a tongue-in-cheek list of proposed minivan features. Damon also runs down the latest articles on the Consumer Guide Daily Drive blog--including a test-drive review of the new-for-2020 BMW 228i Gran Coupe.
