OFF (AND ON) ROAD ROYALTY The truck platform and what manufacturers put on it continues to be a winner with consumers. And the media spotlight a vehicle receives being named North American Truck of the Year can help separate the title-holder from the rest of the pack. So this week, Autoline Detroit looks at fourteen of the 2007 trucks vying for the award from a variety of segments, including those hot crossovers. John McElroy is once again joined by two of his fellow judges on the 49-member N.A.C.O.T.Y. panel: Natalie Neff of AutoWeek and Tony Swan from Car and Driver. All three voters talk about the benefits of each vehicle and which one will probably walk away with the Truck of the Year honors.

SEPARATE VERSIONS OF AUTOLINE DETROIT With the Autoline staff hard at work producing all new programs for your holiday viewing, this week our separate audiences have the opportunity to catch up on shows they may have missed due to programming conflicts. For instance, our WTVS viewers will have the opportunity to see last week's broadcast on the "All New" Los Angeles Auto Show. John McElroy takes his first-ever visit to this show and spotlights the difference between LA and other shows, and interviews executives from BMW, GM and Nissan as well as a Pulitzer Prize winning automotive journalist. Meanwhile, our SPEED audience will have a chance to see the show we recorded at the Management Briefing Seminars. John interviews Dick Dauch from auto supplier American Axle and Jeff Daniels, the award-winning actor who is also a Michigan entrepreneur and recording artist. Plus, you'll have a chance to hear him perform two songs from his newest CD...that is Mr. Daniels, not Mr. Dauch.

AN ATTENTION-GETTING MOVE The Los Angeles Auto Show celebrated its 100th anniversary this year by moving its date. The reason? This long-running show was regularly ignored by many media and manufacturers because it was scheduled right after Christmas--and more importantly--right before the North American International Auto Show. But now with its new November date it’s been reinvigorated with 35 world and North American automotive debuts which attracted more than 2,500 media from around the world...including Autoline Detroit. For the first time John McElroy visits the LA show to talk with auto executives and journalists about the impact of this newly revitalized show. With guests from BMW, GM, Nissan and Toyota, John also sits down with the Pulitzer Prize winning auto writer Dan Neil from the Los Angeles Times. In addition, we'll give you a look around the floor and also show you the way the auto makers try to create buzz in LA with their off-site events.

How Does Y Buy? In a digital world dominated by Amazon, iPod and Abercrombie & Fitch, attracting the dollars of the deep-pocketed American youth market is difficult. It is the most desirable group, but the most elusive as well. In fact, the world's advertising highway is littered with wreckage from the failed attempts of selling the next great Gen Y product. However, there are some success stories... In arguably the toughest segment to sell, one of the groups topping auto industry sales to the Gen Y crowd is Toyota's Scion brand. With cutting edge designs as its mantra, Scion has come from literally nowhere in the last few years to make a significant impact on today's youth market. And on the opposite side of the economic spectrum is the Jones Soda Company. This small Seattle-based beverage business has taken the youth market by storm. And by its Founder's own admission, it's less to do with its products as much as its marketing. This week on Autoline Detroit, John interviews Steve Haag, Scion's Corporate Manager and Peter van Stolk, the President, CEO and Founder of Jones Soda Company. Both men discuss their unique strategies in breaking through to the youth market of the world. Segment 1: The kids call it SIGH-ON.

THE PAPER CHASE Private equity companies are eagerly eyeing automotive suppliers as their latest investment opportunity.

So where do the deep pockets want to bet their billions of dollars these days? It turns out that automotive is at the top of their list. Tim Leuliette, CEO of Metaldyne talks firsthand about where this money is coming from, why, and how it's going to restructure the automotive industry.

But as Steve Shannon, Buick's General Manager tells Autoline this week, this venerable GM brand hit the 21st century with a stride not seen for quite some time. The reasons for that new Buick bounce, Mr. Shannon says, includes upgrades to its product line, an increased devotion to new technology, a China success story as well as more of those desirable demographic buyers.

CHRYSLER’S TOP SECRET SUCCESS STORY Well, OK. It’s not really a secret. But not many people in the industry are aware of the surprising success the Chrysler Group is enjoying selling vehicles outside of North America. While the company’s products languish on dealer lots in the United States, it practically can’t keep up with demand in Europe or other markets. With more models on the way, and with the recent launch of the Dodge brand overseas, this is one of the true bright spots in the company. Thomas Hausch, the executive director of International Sales and Marketing, comes on Autoline to explain how Chrysler is able to sell American design to a world that doesn’t seem to like much else about America these days. And then David Champion, the senior director for automotive testing at Consumer Reports joins us in the studio to talk about the domestic automakers. Are they making any progress in how the magazine rates their quality or is Consumer Reports really a statistically valid source for this information?

RECALL OVERLOAD? Vehicle recalls have hit the industry hard the last few years and critics say that the National Highway Transportation and Safety Administration (NHTSA) has no clue what they cost, or even if they're cost effective. Kevin M. McDonald is an attorney and the author of the new book "Shifting Out of Park: Moving Auto Safety from Recalls to Reason," which chronicles the recent increase in recalls, NHTSA's criteria for doing it and the staggering costs to all parties. On this week's Autoline Detroit Mr. McDonald talks about his book, the problems he believes recalls cause and where he sees this process going in the future.

THE STRUGGLE FROM TWO PERSPECTIVES The challenges facing today's OEMs range from the technological to the economic to the political and beyond. But the greatest challenge remains the same as it always was--providing product to the marketplace that consumers want to drive, and more importantly, can afford to drive. This week's Autoline Detroit has interviews with two executives on the front lines of that fight. Eric Ridenour, the Chief Operating Officer of the Chrysler Group, has witnessed his company issue an impressive string of critically-acclaimed product over the past five years. But most of its top sellers were in the larger vehicle arena--SUVs, trucks & minivans. Meanwhile, John Mendel, Honda's Senior VP of automobile operations in the U.S., is faced with a different set of challenges. Honda has no shortage of smaller fuel efficient vehicles that the public is clamoring for, but it's no longer neck-and-neck with Toyota as far as North American market share goes; Toyota has sprinted out to a lead. On this week's broadcast John McElroy discusses the challenges and strategies that each organization faces going forward.
