    A Closer Look - 2010 Kia Forte SX

    DateFriday, February 5, 2010 at 4:10PM

    Kia, now with more "The Power to Surprise!"

    In the eyes of many consumers, companies like Loius Vuitton, Maserati and Apple stand at the top of their respective industries.  Besides building premium products, their names seem to roll off the tongue, connoting more to buyers than the sum of their products’ parts.  Kia is not one of these brands.  Its name is more akin to a tribal battle shriek than something that brings to mind luxury and exclusivity.  Nonetheless, the South Korean upstart has come unimaginably far in the past decade and is poised for serious growth in the next.

    RoAb #18 - The 'Not What it Seems' Episode

    DateFriday, January 15, 2010 at 3:42AM

    Things are not always what they seem. For instance, you might think this episode is nearly a week late. Wrong as usual, idiot. We were planning to do this episode a year from now, so technically it's early. Why are you so offended? Clearly you are unfamiliar with the word "idiot's" Greek roots. I was simply suggesting you were a private person unfamiliar with the vagaries of podcasting. Again, not what it seems.

    So there you go. Houston, we have a theme. This week we've got the coolest 4x4 you never expected, a bevy of protests as the Detroit Auto Show gets going and a wrecked Yaris that is more functional than you'd think. Plus we've got some new fun and games this week including our Mystery Words of the Week, a new segment where we get to stereotype drivers and a couple of burnouts gone terribly wrong.

    RoAb #8 - The 'Trick or Treat' Episode

    DateSunday, November 1, 2009 at 11:10PM

    Ah, great All Hallows' Eve, wasn't it? What'd you get? Giant gummi snake with a blue raspberry-flavored foam center? A treat to be sure--unless you are allergic to blue raspberry artificial flavoring or you have an irrational fear of gummi-based reptiles. Or did you get a three-year-old, stale circus peanut? A trick--unless you are an 82-year-old man who also likes those candies wrapped in the foil wrappers made to look like a strawberry. But we digress. Trick or Treat?

    Woo-hoo! You're driving a custom Mustang! Boo! You learn that your bolt-in roll cage isn't worth the powder to blow it to hell. Guess what: the Audi S4 is better than you think--treat! Can a fancy luxury SUV actually scale uneven terrain, like say, two cars? Yes, trick. All that plus, our features this week: Blind Spot proves you have no one but your parents to blame for your driving ineptitude, a Halloween AutoGadget that will look super-sweet in your hearse, our favorite automotive horror stories in Highway Hearsay and more!
