Changing lanes, Autoblog Editor-in-Chief, Greg Migliore, fills us in on his experience with Monterey Car Week, his thoughts on the Durango SRT, and addresses the rumor of the Jeep pickup truck. Then, Executive Editor for Autotrader, Brian Moody, tells us about great rides for man’s best friend, and the higher taxes that will come with autonomous cars. We end the hour with George Kennedy, automotive journalist for The Boston Globe, reviewing the new Toyota C-HR, which was originally designed to be a Scion. It’s time you got up to speed, listen now.
