Autoblog Podcast #47
We're back again, your good old podcast buddies with a new episode of the Autoblog Podcast, #47 to be exact. We couldn't get started with the show today without going over SEMA just a litle bit, so with that out of the way, Damon, Alex and myself begin our discussion talking about comments made by Alan Mulally and Ford's recent pledge to cut it out with the whole badge engineering thing. Toyota's plan to become #1 in the world is a hot topic, particularly because I recently decided I don't think Toyota can do it. Do the other fellows agree? Listen to find out. Finally we spend some time on General Motors, its announcement that a plug-in hybrid will be unveiled at the Detroit show and the new long wheelbase SLS that just debuted in China. Enjoy the show.

- 2005 Pontiac G6: In The Autoblog Garage Day 3 Usually the third day in a car is where I point out all the flaws it has. But yesterday I spent time talking about my one big hang-up with the acceleration and engine so I'm left with little to compla ...
