 The Great Undesigners At Honda | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: Unknown

Nobody undesigns a car like the guys at Honda. The Honda guys have pulled the old bait-and-switch on us, showing us a great new Accord Coupe at Detroit, getting us all revved up and then deciding to convert the show car into another dreary appliance. Plus, gobs of news from the world of Chrysler, NASCAR, Audi, diesels and Internet spam. Don't forget, we're on AllTalkRadio.net Tuesdays at 5pm PST. Download Vinny's Garage 21 here.

 Ford Makes Better Cars Than Toyota | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: Unknown

 Prepare To Cross Over | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: Unknown

It seems like every car company in the world -- and a few in a parallel universe -- is bringing out a crossover SUV. So we'll sort them all out for you, but I'm not doing it alone, oh no. Loyal listener, Justin is taking his turn on Take It Or Leave It. You can have a chance, too, just drop me an e-mail at vinnysgarage@gmail.com. Go to the website or download it here.

 Classic Cars and Tree Hugging | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: Unknown

The Detroit Auto Show was a little ho-hum this year, so we pretty much ignored it and went to the Barrett Jackson auction instead. We test drove two cars that have renewed our faith in American carmakers and we play Take It Or Leave It with our favorite environmentally responsible listener.

 Repost-Where's My Damn Electric Car? | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: Unknown

Where's My Damn Electric Car? Hey, weren't we supposed to have an electric car by now? A really fast one? (I'm not counting the $100,000 Tesla. Let's be serious here.) I'm certain someone promised me that. We'll also talk about the death of the minivan and in Take It Or Leave It, things kind of get out of hand. And be sure to check out Lawn Mower Racing coming up on the Outdoor Life Network. Go to the website or download it here.

 Vinny's Got Some Donuts | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: Unknown

Recently I went on Dallas radio station Lite FM, not to talk about cars, but to get people to try and screw up their New Year's resolutions. In this bit I went to a local gym with a dozen donuts. Check it out here.

 Attack of the Killer Bs | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: Unknown

I was so wrong about fuel prices. $3 a gallon gas came and, well, nothing happened. About the only thing we can see is the arrival of a new segment of cars in the US. The B-segment cars - Honda Fit, Toyota Yaris, etc. - take center stage in Take It Or Leave It. And why are so many SUVs mysteriously catching fire?

 Sexiest Vinny's Garage Ever | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: Unknown

There's nothing sexier in the world of automobilies than the transmission. Well, maybe the CV joint, but this is not that kind of show. In this episode we'll talk about the gear wars and why some think you don't have enough gears and others think you have way too many. And in Take It Or Leave It, we'll take a look at some cars we're hoping Santa will leave under our tree. (We've been really, really good.) Go to the website or download it here.

 SUVs Starting To Smell Bad | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: Unknown

Vinny from the real-live Vinny's Garage makes a special appearance. While the SUV may not be dead, but it's starting to smell bad. SUV sales are tanking, but there's good news, too.

 Are Hybrids Good Or Evil? | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: Unknown

If you buy a hybrid you’re getting great gas mileage and doing your part to help the environment, right? Maybe not. Hybrids are not all alike. We’ll see what’s really going on. And while we’re at it, what kind of deal did Daimler Chrysler make with the Russians? Download it here or go straight to the website at www.vinnysgarage.com.
