    Study shows RoundAbout listeners 75 percent more involved

    RoundAbout is more diverse than the United Nations.

    The results of a six-month study, conducted by the Pembroke-Donalbane Marketing Research Institute, show that frequent listeners of the RoundAbout podcast are 75 percent more involved than listeners of other podcasts.  The findings also indicate that fans of the weekly, auto-themed program are eight-times more likely to participate in social media like Twitter and Friend-A-Roo than fans of competing podcasts.

    RoAb #26 - The 'More is Less' Episode

    The Geneva Motor Show reminded us that just as "less is more," the inverse is just as, if not more true: more is definitely less. Aston Martin takes a tiny Toyota iQ and decks it out in full luxury garb and yet: somehow worse. Mansory adheres flashy pieces of golden chrome to a blue Rolls-Royce and creates a monstrosity. And the Sbarro Autobau is an abomination worse than Pontiac could have ever dreamed. Plus researchers come up with an ingenious solution to identifying potholes as asphalt disintegrates in our Blind Spot, and our Stupid Car Trick is a vomit-inducing exercise as a 15-year-old gets a brand new Camaro SS.

    A Closer Look - 2010 GMC Acadia

    On the whole, I tend to view crossovers as a sort of awkward, pubescent form of car design. While SUVs are busy throwing touchdown passes and getting with lead cheerleaders everywhere, the car/truck half breeds spend their time spilling milk at the dinner table and debating the feasibility of Boba Fett’s survival in the sarlacc pit. And at first, the GMC Acadia did little to change my opinion. While I was absolutely impressed with the excellent interior and handsome styling of its cousin, the Chevrolet Traverse, the professional grade version did little to push any buttons.

    RoAb #25 - The 'Gold Medal' Episode

    It's the moment you wait for every four years: the RoundAbout Winter Games in which news stories compete for the coveted RoAb Gold Medal. A GM worker takes the medal in Road Warriorism as he racks up more daily miles than any of the competition. Meanwhile, a driver of a Silverado takes the award in Near Misses as he narrowly averts an unorthodox vasectomy. In the highly-competitive Stupidity category, a Bugatti owner (well, former owner) once again takes the prize. Plus Zach, Jeffrey and even Joey all have cars (and planes) In the Garage, and we have an Alaska edition of Meet Your Roadmates!
