GM's fast-moving reorganization,
Smart's dubious $99/month deal,
raising gas taxes as a better way to increase fuel economy, and Shunk's new car dilemma. To wrap up, we hit a question, and that's it – a nice, tidy 65-minute affair. Tell us how we're doing by

Just in time for the July 4th holiday roadtrip, it's Episode #134 of the Autoblog Podcast! We've had a couple delays this week getting together to chat about recent events, but hopefully we're hitting your media player before you depart for this weekend's festivities.
Once seated around our digital roundtable, Chris, Sam, and Dan take a quick spin through
June's sales numbers, and specifically, the
Camaro's Mustang-topping numbers, official
BMW X1 imagery, the demise of diesel programs,
Consumer Reports'
Honda Insight displeasure, BMW's challenge to Lexus as America's #1 luxury brand, and then we hit up your questions for the rest of the show. Thanks for listening, we appreciate your efforts to keep communication rolling in to
Podcast at autoblog dot com, as well as all the responses to
our survey, which you can still fill out to add your data in our quest for 'cast sponsorship.

The dynamic duo of Chris and Sam carry off Episode #133 of the Autoblog Podcast without a hitch. Though down a man, the pair didn't cheap out on topics or duration, it's the same podcast goodness. It kicks off with Hyundai's impressive showing in the recently released
Initial Quality Survey results. From there, they hit
Chrysler's RWD/FWD dilemma with its Sebring/Avenger replacement, the rumor that
Mustangs could have had IRS for $100 per car, and reports of an
Ecotec engine for the Buick LaCrosse. Keeping it on the Buick tip, spyshots of a
Tri-Shield variant of the new 2010 Astra get mentioned. The
nullification of all pre-bankruptcy liability claims against GM and Chrysler is next before talk settles briefly on
Hyundai's 2010-on lineup and then turns to your questions. It almost seems like the Chris and Sam show is a juggernaut without that
other guy. Thanks for listening, and please, keep your questions and comments rolling in to
Podcast at Autoblog dot com.

Episode #131 of the Autoblog Podcast is here. Chris, Sam, and Dan sat down and kicked the ball around. The most important news when we rolled our recorders was the
Supreme Court's staying of Chrysler's deal with Fiat. Staying with Fiat, we also kibbitzed about the nameplate's
showing in a new J.D. Power satisfaction study. Ferrari's green efforts are next in our bombsights before we touch on GM's
winding down of its medium-duty trucks and the call from some politicos to
boycott General Motors. Wrapping up, we cover a few questions and call it a night. Thanks for listening, and as always, shoot us a note at

Episode #130 of the Autoblog Podcast sees Chris, Sam, and Dan kibbitzing over the obvious news, but it's not an All-GM-Bankruptcy show. Starting with
General Motors (after all, it's a huge event) we move on to
Magna's deal with Opel (and GM, coincidentally).
Volvo's clever implementation of a diesel hybrid in its wagon comes next before talk turns to
Fiat-based Chryslers. It all wraps up at about an hour and a half after we polish off some of your questions. Thanks for listening, hit us up at

Episode #129 of the Autoblog Podcast is here! Chris, Sam, and Dan toss the ball around this week discussing the
Lexus HS250h, the
Toyota Prius's newfound chassis grace, the production version of the
BMW 5-Series GT,
Cadillac's sharp new SRX, and of course, a few questions. We even go back and update an answer to a question from last week. This installment clocks in just shy of an hour, so enjoy... and thanks for listening! As always, hit us up at

Chris, Sam, and Dan kick it for Episode #127 of the Autoblog Podcast. Of course, there are the usual tangents around the topics, which this week include
BMW's new Z4, a
poll about Hybrids,
Chrysler's bankruptcy,
Toyota's losses,
Opel's new Astra and the possibility of
General Motors building US-market cars in China, and we make time for some questions at the end. It's an hour show this week, and a chock-full one at that. Next week, it's a reader-question edition, so get your emails rolling in to
podcast at autoblog dot com and we'll see you next week! Thanks for listening!

The esteemed Mr. Lavrinc joins us for Episode #126 of the Autoblog Podcast, and Dan shows up late, but we still pack in an hour and a half of goodness. Starting with the Autoblog Garage kicks off a discussion about diesel and then electric vehicles and technology. The
GM/Fiat/Chrysler dealings are once again kicked around for quite a while, with a wide ranging discussion of what Fiat platforms might be coming, and how GM's shrinkage strikes us. We move on to the
death of Knight Rider, lamenting the loss of Nunez's liveblog, before we split opinions on
Cash for Clunkers and finish with some letters. Thanks for hanging in for the full hour and a half, please keep your feedback rolling in to

We're up to a buck and a quarter, and Episode #125 of the Autoblog Podcast is nearly a half-hour of value. Chris, Sam, and Dan jump in and cover a slew of recent topics. To start, Sam recounts his recent drive in a
Cruze-based Volt mule. We turn our attention to Ford's
stupid mileage tricks with a Fusion Hybrid before moving on to the
honoring of Aston Martin's One77 at the Villa D'Este Concorso D'Eleganza. Of course, a big ol' whack of time is taken up by talk about industry happenings, both at
GM and
Chrysler, before we wrap up by answering some excellent questions from listeners. Hang in there for the full show, and as always, drop us a line at
