RoAb #66 - The 'NAIAS 2011 Preview' Episode

It’s that time of year again. Sure, it is National Bath Safety Month but it’s also the season where we cover more ground than marathon runners; break ribs like passengers in the Tokyo subway as we get crushed in media scrums; and test our survival skills, subsisting almost exclusively off of room-temperature turkey wraps and stale cookies from the media lounge.  That’s right, January only means one thing.  It’s the Detroit Auto Show, baby!  What BIG reveals are on the docket for 2011?  Well, you’ve come to the right place.  Buick will unveil its new compact sedan, the Verano.  Porsche *may* take the wraps off a new supercar in a much-rumored production-version of the 918 Spyder.  Chevy will premiere its replacement for the moribund Aveo, called the Sonic.  Enjoy all that and more on this week’s admittedly abbreviated installment of RoundAbout, #66, the “NAIAS 2011 Preview” episode.

RoAb #64 - The '2010 Year in Review' Episode

Well, were we right?  Last year the RoAb crew tried to predict the future, or at least 2010.  Did we hit the nail on the head or were we way out in left field?  Zach Bowman, Eric Trytko and Craig Cole each peered into their respective crystal balls, in a vain attempt to divine what’s coming.  This year, Colin Bird, Michelle Naranjo, Jeff Ross and Steven Ewing join the trio of soothsayers to act as a jury, voting said predictions up or down.  So, who was right?  Who was wrong?  Who cares?  Listen to find out.
