Autoblog Podcast #20 - the Megacast
We
covered so much at this year's 2006 Detroit auto show that there was an endless list of topics to talk about on this
podcast. We call it the Megacast because it clocks in at a lengthy 1:32:17. Oh yeah, but it'll be worth it. We
promise.Joining me on this podcast is fellow journalist Chris Paukert, who was one of my companions at the show along with Erin Mays. Chris and I spend the show dissecting the automakers that made the biggest impact and throwing out our $.02 about who made the grade and who failed miserably.
Seriously, we recorded this thing twice trying to get the length down, and it ended up being the same length both times. When there's so much good stuff to talk about, sometimes you just can't stop. Enjoy.

I'm about halfway through, and find myself pretty much in agreement with your assessment. Two things:
1. You seem close to dismissing the Tahoe Hybrid as 'vaporware', noting the lack of information. GM's own website claims a 25% fuel economy gain (which I suppose is better than giving actual numbers these days, given that 'your mileage may vary').
2. I'm shocked that no one noticed the size of the Challenger. I suspect when it hits the road folks will ask "when did it get so huge"? At 197" long, 57" tall, and almost 79" wide, it's much larger than either than the Camaro or Mustang, and that's gotta translate into a pretty heavy, un-nimble vehicle. Unless you like that sort of thing, of course...
