This week, the guys take a closer look at two under-represented new cars on sale today. First up, Benjamin drives the 2023 Toyota Sequoia, which is built on the mediocre bones of the Tundra full-size pickup, and carries over some of the same puzzling design decisions. Does it have any chance at bumping up its annual sales numbers or even stealing the spotlight of its competitors?
