{"version":"1.0.0","episode":{"title":"New Jeep Cherokee, Bronco Stroppe, Tariff Turmoil Explained ","url":"http://getcarcurious.com/episodes/new-jeep-cherokee-bronco-stroppe-tariff-turmoil-explained","audioUrl":"https://www.buzzsprout.com/675236/episodes/17768826-new-jeep-cherokee-bronco-stroppe-tariff-turmoil-explained.mp3","description":"Jill and Tom open the show talking about “launch colors,” basically the color which new vehicles are initially presented in for media reveals, advertising, and promotion. Tom still remembers the copper color the redesigned Mitsubishi Eclipse was unveiled in for 2000. Tom shared his early impressions of the electric Volvo EX30 subcompact crossover. So far, Tom is delighted by the Volvo, and surprised by its price. The hosts turn the discussion to the coming 2026 Jeep Compass; a vehicle Tom and Jill both feel the maker badly needs in its lineup. The Discussion continues to include clarification on the topic of Japanese “kei” cars, including proper pronunciation, and a brief chat regarding the heritage-trimmed Stroppe Edition of the Ford Bronco. In the second segment the hosts are joined by AutoForecast Solutions Vice President Sam Fiorani. Sam shared insights related to the current tariff situation, and what the elimination of “carbon credits” means to EV makers including Tesla, Rivian, and Lucid. Sam also shares news regarding the Boyertown Museum of Historic Vehicles. In the last segment Jill is subjected to Tom’s “Red!” quiz, in which she is challenged to identify fake car colors. "},"annotations":[{"startTime":113.96,"endTime":118.28,"type":"car","title":"Cadillac Optiq","url":"/cars/cadillac/optiq","image":"https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f0/Cadillac_Optiq_%28IQ_Aoge%29_01_China_2024-04-23.jpg","quote":"Yes.
