If you know nothing else about Chevrolet’s Eco edition of the Cruze sedan, you know that it’s supposed to be a green, fuel-sipping machine — the very name tells you that. But, if you think you know affordable, economical cars when you see them, you might surprised when you get inside this one. As we discovered, its nicer than you’d imagine.

Our guest this week comes straight from one of the greatest museums in the world with a fantastic car collection of all makes. Bob Casey is the Curator of Transportation for The Henry Ford and an automobile historian. We’ll be asking him what’s on his wishlist for the museum and if there’s ever been “one that got away.” As always, we’ll be sure to get into the news of the week including March sales results, whether Saab is on its last legs, and a new hope for Detroit called Tech Shop. John McElroy is also joined in studio by the Autoextremist, Peter De Lorenzo.

Kia is really stepping up its game. The South Korean automaker has come so far in the last few years, transforming itself from an also-ran into a legitimate brand that buyers cross-shop with Honda and Toyota. The company achieved this by offering nice cars at great prices. Now, it’s expanding its lineup by offering sportier versions of its most popular vehicles. Find out what the SX trim-line is all about.

With the proliferation of electric vehicles, elaborate user interfaces showing range and power consumption have become de rigueur. The Chevy Volt and Nissan Leaf both have large displays with all kinds of information for the driver. But, could it be that a couple of simple gauges could replace all of that? The smart ED has gone the simple route, and we got a chance to test it out.

On this week’s RoundAbout, Daimler shows off a new lineup smart-branded merchandise. Who the Hell’s going to buy this crap . . . no one’s buying the cars! Somebody’s selling their trusty old Subaru, but only the most macho buyers need apply. And a hipster’s Audi burns to the ground . . . to HILARIOUS effect. Stick around for all that and much, much more on this week’s thrilling installment of RoundAbout, #77, the “April Foolish” episode. John Voelcker of High Gear Media and GreenCarReports.com is our special guest.

Behold the future of Ford! Well, we’re sure our guest won’t give away ALL the secrets, but if you want to know where Ford design is headed, tune in this week for Joel Piaskowski who is Ford’s Director of Exterior Design for the Americas. As you may remember, Joel recently came from Hyundai where he was responsible for the fresh design language of the Sonata and other models out on the roads now. We can’t wait to find out what he’s got in store for the blue oval’s product line. We’ll also take some time to remember David E. Davis Jr., a former AAH guest and an outspoken automotive legend who died earlier this week. Does this mark the end of the enthusiast magazines as we know them? John McElroy is also joined in studio by the Autoextremist, Peter De Lorenzo, as well as Mark Phelan of the Detroit Free Press.
