Joel Feder — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 13:30:14 +0000

Episode 16 starts by introducing this weeks guest Nick Saporito joining us from GM Inside News. Nick kicked us off by telling us a little about himself and how he came to be the managing editor. I then for a moment, attempted to relive my experience driving the Corvette ZR1 which I had the opportunity to drive the day before. We move along to the major news of the week segment. This week included-

Honda and Ford gain retail market share from Toyota
Woman Gets $23.4M for a paralyzing crash in Ford Explorer
Former CEO Fritz Henderson now consults GM at $2,954 an hour
Mercedes-Benz F800 revealed

We then proceed to the clip of the week segment. This week we featured Nissans newest commercial starring the Leaf at the end – We Make Them Better

Next came our main topics. This week those topics included GM’s rear wheel drive program and the possibility of Mercury’s small car being named the Tracer.

Last but certainly not least, we discuss the past week on both of our respective blogs, AutoBird Blog and AccelerateMpls. The week in review included- my write up on dealerships and how the game has changed along with Colin’s first impressions of the 2011 Toyota Avalon.
