Autoline After Hours Tonight With Chris Paine, "Revenge of the Electric Car"

First he accused GM of "Kill(ing) the Electric Car." Then he took "Revenge" and got buddy-buddy with the giant company that created the Chevrolet Volt. But Chris Paine, director of the new documentary, "Revenge of the Electric Car," hasn't faced off against our resident EV skeptics. This week John McElroy and Peter De Lorenzo will attempt to navigate the EV hype and get down to the heart of the matter: are electric cars really here to stay? Of course we'll get into the top news of the week as well: GM earnings disappoint, experts are sounding the overcapacity alarm in China and Lexus is calling it quits on the HS 250h. All that and much more on this week's show.

Autoline After Hours Tonight With Stuart Norris, Lead Designer, Cadillac CUE

This week we're wondering if the iPhone has met its automotive match. Designed by our guest, Stuart Norris, Cadillac CUE is the infotainment system that promises to simplify a user's experience while offering the smart phone features people have come to expect. It will begin arriving in 2012, and we'll be asking Stuart what he thinks puts CUE ahead of the competition and how it will avoid the quality problems plaguing MyFord Touch. To discuss this and more, John McElroy is joined in studio by Peter De Lorenzo the Autoextremist.

Autoline After Hours Tonight With Charlie Vogelheim, ResponseLogix

This week we're calling Consumer Reports to the mat. As far as we're concerned, their automotive testing is second to none, but when it comes to quality ratings: bogus. Much has been made of Ford's plummeting status in the latest survey, but we'll talk about whether the folks in Dearborn have to start worrying or not. We'll also get into the news of the week including the third quarter financial results. Plus we want to talk about what we, including one of our viewers, think the next generation of Mustang could look like. To discuss this and more, John McElroy is joined in studio by Peter De Lorenzo the Autoextremist and Charlie Vogelheim from ResponseLogix.

Autoline After Hours Tonight With Jack Hollis, Scion

This week we're thinking small. Micro actually. Our special guest for this episode is Jack Hollis, the Vice President of Scion. We'll be talking about the pint-sized iQ and whether it could be the car that gets the brand's mojo back. We'll also get into the news of the week including the Indy race that never should have been run. We'll also get an early look at the best cars of 2011 and which could take home the coveted North American Car and Truck of the Year trophy. To discuss this and more, John McElroy is joined in studio by Peter De Lorenzo the Autoextremist and Michelle Krebs from Edmunds.com.
