Unscripted. Unapproved. Unusually frank discussion.
Automotive journalist John McElroy taps into his vast network of auto reporters and colleagues to gather for an irreverent roundtable discussion of the latest news to come out of the automotive world. Joining John each week is outspoken automotive pundit, Peter De Lorenzo of AutoExtremist.com, and BusinessWeek Detroit Bureau Chief David Welch. Together with their guests, it’s an uncensored, no-holds-barred, tell-it-like-it-is conversation on what’s wrong, what’s right, and what’s up with the auto industry.
This week we welcome Charlie Hughes, the author of “Branding Iron” and an expert in automotive brands. In the past couple of years we’ve had a major culling of automotive marques–especially in Detroit. Tonight we’ll talk about what else can go: Acura? Infiniti? As usual, we’ll also get into the news of the week. John McElroy’s in studio with Peter De Lorenzo, the Autoextremist, and David Welch from Bloomberg BusinessWeek.
Toyota plans to plow through with its incentive plan. A Kia spokesman is unceremoniously socked after compromising videos surface online. Ford reveals plans for an all-new five-seater that will cost billions to produce. All that and more, plus Ed Whitacre announces more management turnover at GM.
Unscripted. Unapproved. Unusually frank discussion. Each week John and his guests will shine a deserving light on the auto industry to offer unfiltered commentary that others just won’t touch. Sit back and listen or jump in the live chat, either way it’s gonna be fun. Every Thursday Night at 7:00PM ET / 23:00 GMT.

Tonight’s special guest is GM’s new VP of Global Vehicle Engineering, Mark Reuss. As you probably know, Mark is coming stateside after running the Holden brand in Australia and after overseeing previous efforts on the Solstice, Sky and Cadillac V-Series. Mark is a real dyed-in-the-wool car guy and we’re going to have a lot of questions about what he intends for the new General Motors. We’ll also surely be talking about the results of today’s big CTS-V challenge. On deck for the discussion will be host John McElroy, Peter De Lorenzo the Autoextremist and David Welch from BusinessWeek.
