My bet is Preston was selected on the sole basis of identity politics long before any of the final 10 contestants met for the "tests".
It's clear Dodge is going "woke" and electric, both of which I want nothing to do with. Never thought I'd see the day when I would eventually turn my head on Dodge, but it's happening now. I have my fire breathing car from the final great days of Dodge. Sucks that I can't look forward to ever buying another new Dodge, but I'm ok with that. I used to think the blue oval was great, but much like Dodge is to me now, I finally saw the light and turned my back on them too.
