Main theme: We share our final thoughts on the 2020 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque, a luxury compact SUV that compromises utility for styling.

We also discuss the much anticipated and highly teased launch of the 2021 Ford Bronco and Ford Bronco Sport. Will loyal Bronco lovers like what they see? Will the nostalgia factor be lost on younger buyers?

I never anticipated that engineering, the auto industry, and a few hundred tire changes and child seat installations would have brought me here: director of day-to-day operations at Consumer Report's fabulous 327-acre Auto Test Center. The bonus is that the track's location in rural Connecticut leaves me close enough to home to also enjoy my children and husband while still squeezing in time for gardening, riding horses, and hunting for antiques.
