Well, Roadshow friends, the mighty Ford Bronco continued to dominate this week's top stories, but with good reason. We finally got to go for a ride in Ford's hotly anticipated Bronco and Bronco Sport, and from the passenger seat, there appears to be a lot to like about these new SUVs. Of course, the Bronco was only one highlight of the last week, which also saw the debut of Ram's 702-horsepower TRX and a number of important reviews.

Here's everything you might've missed from Aug. 16-22.
