This week we discuss Ford\'s new rewards program, and\\xa0whether\\xa0or not such programs really benefit car owners. At the track, we\'ve rented the\\xa0new\\xa0Honda Passport, and give our thoughts on how it stacks up\\xa0among the multitudes of SUVs. As always, we wrap with audience questions, including one about how manufacturer\\u2019s all-wheel drive systems differ.
