Join John McElroy as he webcasts LIVE from the floor of the 2012 Washington Auto Show. Learn how government regulations are affecting the future of alternative-fuel vehicles, like clean diesels. He really bores into the topic with a number of fascinating interviews with a wide array of A-list guests including: Roland Hwang of the Natural Resources Defense Council; Jake Jones from Daimler; Phil Murtaugh of CODA; and many more. If you’re interested in cars and the fuels that drive them, this show is a must-watch!

We’ve got the man with the gilded larynx, Jeff Gilbert of CBS Radio Detroit, and he’s been practicing all week for his best ever Edward R. Murrow impression. Plus, we have the story of a real-life superhero and his trusty steed is a Hoveround.

“Star Wars, nothing but Star Wars…” OK, a lot more than Star Wars is coming up on this week’s show, but we do get into VW’s hilarious Super Bowl tease from a galaxy far, far away. We’ll also tell you how you can purchase one of the world’s smallest cars (no, not a smart fortwo). Plus, dost thou hear the sound of clashing armaments? It’s time for another Dungeons and Dealers!

This week we’re going to resist the temptation to polish up our Cockney accents, but we might just call our special guest “guv’nah” since he’s Skyping in live from the UK. Karl Ludvigsen is an independent motor industry consultant and all-around car guy. He also wrote the well-known book “Porsche: Excellence was Expected.” On the docket tonight, we’ll discuss some European goings on. Who will Fiat merge with? How will GM save Opel? Also we’ll talk about Audi’s new Traffic Jam Assist technology — a very real step toward automotive autonomy. All this and much more with John McElroy and Peter De Lorenzo the Autoextremist. Cheerio!
