We tried to get it going for last week, but John had violence visited upon his mouth which reduced him to saying "Spibit?" We're back on the podcast horse this week for Autoblog Podcast #82, though. We start off proceedings with the teaser pic of the Chevy Volt, which then takes us to a wider-ranging split-grille vs. three bar smackdown. Speaking of teasing pictures, the 2009 Dodge Ram showed up on the internets, and it turns out that Chrysler broke their own embargo by mistake. Whoops. Official pictures of an upcoming Mopar were also released, this time on purpose. Some minimally informative macro shots of the Challenger SRT-8 were released by Chrysler, much to our delight. Moving on, we touch on the looming cage match between the Hyundai Genesis coupe (and how quickly the tuner world is going to adopt and rock that platform) and the neo-ponycars. Speaking of a newcomer challenging the old guard, Hummer's HX made its mug known, and the concept is pretty much what you'll see when the H4 goes gunning at the Wrangler. Wrapping it up, we discuss some recent visitors to the Autoblog Garage, thoroughly eviscerating the Lancer ES before calling it a show. Since we took a week off, we give you the extra-value duration of 53:30. Enjoy!SUBSCRIBE to the Autoblog Podcast in iTunes

sounds like someone keeps opening and closing a door. Whats up?

Somebody's IM was open

Actually, that was my squeaky chair.

If it's any consolation, I thought the chair/phantom IM noises were coming from my laptop, since I had AIM open while assembling the 'cast.

Bill Cosby reference FTW!

Here's that Lancer interior that you guys didn't like:

Which, on looks alone, doesn't look that bad. Looks can be deceiving?

Oh... btw, you had 2-minutes worth of silence at the end of the show. Otherwise, I enjoy listening to your podcast when ever it becomes available.
