In Podcast #372, Jessica Ray fills in as host to discuss some of the latest new vehicles that the MotorWeek crew has been testing. We start things off with Mazda and a first-drive in their best-selling model, the CX-5 crossover as it enters its 3rd-generation with some well executed updates. Then it’s over to BMW and our recent track time in their entry-level track car, the M2 CS. Finally, it’s over to Jeep where we drove both the all-new Cherokee and updated Grand Cherokee, which feature the future of the Jeep brand’s powertrain options. Plus, a Lightning Round which considers the EPA’s recent decision to rescind credits to automakers for utilizing auto stop/start technology.
