Autoblog Podcast #39
We're back with the Autoblog Podcast, Episode #39. Sound quality has been restored and Damon and I have returned to give you our thoughts on the latest and greatest happenings in the automotive industry. In this episode we apply our own brand of enlightenment to the August sales numbers. Riveting stuff, really. Then we spend the bulk of the show debating whether the upcoming Mazdaspeed3 is awesome or sweet. Along the way we somehow both manage to deliver a treatise on the state of sport compacts, factory tuning and the age old argument of show versus go. Enjoy![MP3] Listen to the show now.

1. I'm not sure why percentage numbers would be that difficult to calculate, it seems like data that you just fling at a well-engineered excel sheet and 15 minutes of cut-n-paste later, you have your entry.
Otherwise, I loved the talk of small cars and their selling. I dunno what it is about the subcompacts, but I get a little thrill each time I see a new Rio, Accent, Yaris, or Caliber and think it's just an adorable little car.
Then again, I am a child of the 80's Where Nissan Sentra's were hocked to me as the "luxury compact" between ads for big hair products and plastic jewelry.

Heeee. The added discussion of the MzSpeed3 and the Volvo C30 has me giddy.
Very enjoyable episode, I loved the small-car focus.

yes - a nice break from the truck/suv/fleet discussions.
It was interesting to hear your take on the pre-tuned vs. b.y.o. strategies.
small is the new big.
