I realized I missed Tim Russert. I missed the days when we sat down to hear what the candidates had to say to make a decision, not to see if they would make a mistake. Our question-and-answer sessions are more like people going to NASCAR to see if an accident happens than to see the race. This week I drove a Jeep Renegade and a Kia Sorento. (The 2015 Jeep Renegade.

The Kia Sorento was around $30,000 and had all the bells and whistles (not a 4X4) with beautiful tailoring on the interior. I got about the same mpg as the Renegade, but loved the drivability so much more. I think part of the difference was the 9-speed automatic on the Renegade. I asked the President of ZF , the transmission manufacturer, at what point - how many speeds can you have before a transmission is a CVT. I think it is 8, nine is too many. Like me on Facebook. I like the Fusion and the 2016 Mazda 6. What are your thoughts. I will not do a Hyundai, Kia, Chrysler, 2015 Malibu (but the upcoming 2016 Malibu loooks hot). Source: live.washingtonpost.com
