Subaru Ascent Review, Psyche Car Fumble, State of Canadian Auto Industry

Car Stuff Podcast

About

Jill and Tom open the show discussing the market place viability of the onslaught of midsize pickup trucks due to arrive on the U.S. in the next few years. Tom believes the segment is already crowded, while Jill thinks there is space for makers to differentiate their trucks and claim a little market share.

Tom shares his disappointment in the announced range of the coming Jeep Recon electric SUV. The off-roader boasts big power numbers, but not as much battery range as some consumer may want or need. Listen in for details.

Still in the first segment, Jill reviews the 2026 Subaru Ascent midsize crossover. While generally impressed by the largest Subaru, Jill found a few issues which may concern shoppers. Listen in for details.

In the second segment, the hosts are joined by Sam Fiorani of AutoForecast Solutions. Sam discusses the state of the Canadian auto industry, and points out a critical automotive flaw in the hit TV show Psyche. Sam also shares news regarding the Boyertown Museum of Historic Vehicles.

In the last segment, Jill is subjected to Tom's "Is it Built in Canada?" quiz, which includes a bonus question regarding marijuana-infused soda.
