This week we traveled to the western edge of Montana near the Blackfoot River to soak in the latest version of the Subaru Forester, details of which we’ll be sharing May 6.

As if that weren’t interesting enough, Mercedes unveiled a fully-electric version of its iconic SUV, the G-Wagen. Interesting times. Here’s a look at what moved us in the automotive world this week.
