Small Car

The hosts welcome Jeremy Barnes of Mitsubishi to the show. Jeremy talks about the the maker's updated Outlander compact crossover, as well as its Mitsubishi Motors Momentum 2030 business plan.

Is Lincoln underselling the Navigator? The Ford luxury division’s largest and most-expensive SUV is the equal of other vehicles in this class, but doesn’t enjoy nearly the sales volume of the segment leading Cadillac Escalade.

They were called captive imports, and they became an important part of the new-product lineups at Chrysler, Ford, and General Motors beginning in the Seventies. The Dodge Colt was such a car, and for years gave Dodge an enviable showroom lineup of small and affordable models. The Colt has an interesting history.

The cars were essentially rebadged and restyled Mercury models with unique Canadian-market trim, grilles, bumpers, and badging—generally marketed with royal/British monarchy themes (e.g., "Ride like a King in a Monarch").

New for the 2004 model year, the QX80 never caught the fancy of shoppers in this segment, and has never impressed us much here at CG. All this changed for 2025. Completely redesigned, the updated QX80—which is closely related mechanically to the Nissan Armada—was improved dramatically, especially in terms of ride, handling, and cabin quietness. So much so, that we named the big Infiniti a 2026 Best Buy, along with the more affordable Armada.
