In the final installment of our mobile AAH series, we go straight into the belly of the beast: Washington D.C. And, for this special edition John McElroy has gathered a group of newcomers and old friends alike. He’s joined by USA Today Columnist Jayne O’Donnell, Kimatni Rawlins from Automotive Rhythms and our pal from the Wall Street Journal, Columnist Joe White. We’ll be asking this trio about what’s been going on in the automotive world and get their unique Beltway perspective.

This week our AAH on the Road series continues as we go on location to the Chrysler Tech Center where we’ll talk with the Vice President of Product Planning, Joe Veltri. We’ll be asking him all about Chrysler’s barrage of new product and how Chrysler will integrate its platforms with Fiat. We’re also curious to know how it is to work with the Italians compared to the Germans. But, we won’t be forgetting the news. We’re going to talk about some of the managerial shake up going on at GM with Tom Stephens moving out of product planning and Mary Barra stepping in. John McElroy is joined in the Tech Center by the ever-extreme AutoExtremist, Peter De Lorenzo.
