    RoAb #22 - The 'From Bad to Worse' Episode

    DateSunday, February 7, 2010 at 11:31PM

    There's this car company--you may have heard of it--but it's having a really bad week, heck, couple of weeks. No, it's not one of the automakers crawling from the wreckage that is the smoldering city of Detroit. Actually, it's that one that all the magazines tell you is the sure buy. First things went bad for them, but lo and behold, they have gotten worse and worse. So, in solidarity we're going to stand by their side and bring you, dear listener, the 'From Bad to Worse' episode.

    It was bad when the Pontiac Solstice was sent to the old folks home to retire, it's worse now that it's been bastardized as an ugly, ugly EV. And, when you attempt to right an overturned semi, remember to put the parking brake on. Speaking of out-of-control trucks, we smell a new anti-porn law coming to a state near you. Plus we've got another installment of In the Garage as Zach gets a turn behind the wheel of the Buick LaCrosse and it's everyone's favorite gameshow, The Price is CORRECT!

    RoAb #19 - The 'NAIAS Postmortem' Episode

    DateSunday, January 17, 2010 at 11:11PM

    Well, the North American International Auto Show--otherwise known as the Detroit Auto Show--has made all the news it's going to make for this year. It was a rocky year for the Motor City, and in a way, it really showed at Cobo Hall in Detroit. The digs might have been better than last year (Chrysler was a series of unadorned cars on beige carpet in 2009), but the product reveals were notably less exciting. With the patient on the slab, we called in the best team of doctors we know ... our ... selves. Well, anyway, we're here with the official RoAb postmortem of NAIAS.

    Is the new Cadillac XTS worthy of being the luxury brand's new flagship? Does the Volkswagen NCC bring anything new and exciting to the German marque? Will the Honda CR-Z finally be a hybrid that's fun to drive? We debate all these and more. Plus we've got another installment of our new Meet Your Roadmates segment, a Stupid Car Trick and the triumphant return of the long lost Psy-car-logy.

    RoAb #14 - The 'Eye of the Beholder' Episode

    DateSunday, December 13, 2009 at 9:18PM

    One man's fashionable and functional Russian, rabbit fur hat is another man's hideous, PETAian nightmare. It's all a matter of perspective, and of course the same is true in the automotive world.

    Dodge's chunky Challenger is named Consumer Reports' most satisfying vehicle. A Chinese truck driver's eye beholds the icy winds of the open road. Hofele melds the best of both worlds in the Audi family to create a truly hideous steed. Plus, our Blind Spot story, the Ford Transit Connect is In the Garage and the internet's coming to your car in this week's AutoGadget.

    RoAb #11 - The 'Thankful' Episode

    DateSunday, November 22, 2009 at 9:02PM

    Every week like brave Puritans fleeing religious oppression, we sail across the Atlantic in search of freedom, and a cohesive, Zen-like theme. Upon arrival, we find all kinds of different topics and news bites to steal from the natives, however wrong it may be. And whatever’s leftover, well, we give thanks for it anyway, because it’s ours now and we feel guilty about taking it.

    Get it? This is our Thanksgiving show.

    Eric is Thankful for a certain famous Brit. Jeffrey, not so much. Nissan owners can be thankful that CVT warranties have been doubled. Meanwhile, we all give thanks that the Buick Regal will be getting a manual transmission for the hardcore enthusiasts. All that plus, our features this week: Blind Spot, In the Garage, Highway Hearsay and more!
