This week we share our test results of the 2020 Buick Encore GX and compare how this 3-cylinder SUV stacks up to its\\xa0competitors in the Luxury segment. We talk about the\\xa0virtual unveiling of the 2021 Toyota Sienna and Venza, both of which will only be available with a hybrid powertrain. Also, we discuss the rebates some car insurers are offering due to the reduced number of drivers on the road during the coronavirus pandemic, and wrap up the episode with audience questions.
