RoAb #3 - The 'Bad Compromise' Episode

Life is full of compromises, everyone knows that.  In the perfect compromise both parties come away dissappointed, but in a bad compromise there's a clear loser, and it happens in the automotive world all the time.  After a week of fantasies we thought it was time to come down to Earth with the 'Bad Compromise' episode.

On today's show you'll get the rare opportunity to have an Audi R8 staring out of your garage, the Corvette will get a retro makeover, and you'll find out how one van can have two interiors. Plus, our features this week: In the Garage with the Camry and Avenger, the premiere of Psy-car-logy with a story about how Hummer drivers are saving America, the Blind Spot story of the week and more!
