#187 2019 BMW X5 Test Results; Which Cars Should Be Brought Back From the Dead?

Published: Jan. 25, 2019, 7:01 p.m.

This week we discuss the recent trend of automakers resurrecting discontinued car models, and the nostalgia (or lack thereof) that such a move might ignite in a car buyer. We\'ve completed testing on the 2019 BMW X5 SUV, and talk about how it performed in our tests. Finally, we wrap with viewer questions, including one about the first car for a teenage driver under $5,000, and how cold temperatures affect electric vehicle batteries.\\xa0
