So, we split this one in to two parts. Make sure you download both.We have mixed opinions on the new Jeep Cherokee, Lyn shares her own unique take on SLATE, we give the 5th-generation 4Runner some love, celebrate the surprise of the year in the Subaru Trailseeker, and bemoan how poor Polestar got the Showtime at the Apollo hook.
