AutoBird Podcast – Esp 32: “In Your Dreams Episode”

08/05/2010 • Posted by:

Episode 32 starts with introducing this weeks guest Tony Pimpo from GM Inside News.  Moving into the garage we talk about the 2011 Chevrolet Cruze press launch I attended last week. We then move along to the major news of the week segment.  This week included-

  • New Ford Explorer Debut (Link)
  • Leaked Jeep Wrangler Interior (Link)
  • 200C drawings out and 900 new workers and second shift at Chrysler plant (Link) (Link)
  • 2011 Porsche Hybrid (Link)
  • Chevrolet Captiva Photos with no cammo (Link)

This week we continue with the new segment called car spotting.  Justin spotted a 1980 Corvette Indy Pace Car, Detomasso Pantera, 1960s jaguar e type convertible, Ferrari 612 Scaglietti, possibally a Pagoni Zonda.  Tony & I lead boring lives the last few weeks in comparison to Justin, thus we spotted nothing exciting.

Next came our main topic which was discussing features we would like to see in all cars. (Link)
Last we plug our respective blogs, Cheers and Gears,  AutoBird Blog and Accelerate Mpls.
