Automotive designer and author (Old School Viscom) Jason White makes a return appearance on RoundAbout, joining the crew for show #53, the “Hifalutin” episode.  This week we take a look some hoity-toity news stories ranging from a ridiculous new marketing concept from Audi to a spiced-up Hyundai Tiburon to another “customized” Rolls-Royce clad in nothing less than rose gold.  “In the Garage” we also take a look at the Lincoln MKZ Hybrid and the Ford Raptor F-150.  Enjoy our unique perspective on these topics and many more only on this week’s installment of RoundAbout, #53, “Hifalutin” episode.

RoAb #40 - The 'Bubbles and Water' Episode

Once again, our fearless leader Craig Cole has fled the country in search of weinerschnitzel and pretzels, but filling the void in his stead is none other than Rumblestrip, himself, Eric Trytko. This week Eric gets his Lawrence Welk vibe going as he takes RoundAbout into uncharted territory for the 'Bubbles and Water' episode. The Hydrokultur Nios and Zooop EV bring foretell a future populated by "bubble cars." Meanwhile, a UK study reveals that using water instead of windshield wiper fluid could literally kill you--and we don't mean from poor visibility. Then we talk about a bubble in the stock market that just may burst all over Toyota and Tesla. All that and more, plus our Blind Spot uncovers a vehicle that is very literally one horsepower and we play a waterlogged edition of our favorite game The Price is CORRECT!

RoAb #34 - The 'Love' Episode

Pucker up for this week’s installment of RoundAbout, the “Love” episode.  Join the usual suspects PLUS Colin Bird of the Auto Bird Blog as they square off for a lively, and in this case, long-winded discussion about an array of automotive topics and news tidbits.  What are some of the signs the honeymoon is over with your new vehicle?  Listen in to find out.  Saudi Arabia loosens certain restrictions on men and women traveling together in the same car.  How salacious!  Going against the grain, one supplier company believes that manual transmissions will be making a comeback.  The ultimate automotive fanboy gets an unbelievably elaborate headstone modeled after an ultimate driving machine when he pulls into the big parking lot in the sky.  All that and more, plus we talk about the Cadillac CTS-V In The Garage and we look for a correlation between how fast men drive and the size of their exhaust pipes, if you catch my drift, with another edition of Psy-Car-logy.  Get some protection!  It’s time for RoundAbout # 34, the “Love” episode.

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.
