Chevrolet’s new Impala is finally here and it’s big and beautiful, but does it have what it takes to challenge full-size competition like the Chrysler 300 and Hyundai Azera? As this sedan rolls into the studio, we’ll be asking Chief Engineer Todd Pawlik to give us the download on the new car. We’ll also get into the hottest topics of the week including the myriad reveals of the New York Auto Show. While we’re on the subject, we’ll discuss whether all these auto shows are worth it. Australia is canceling at least one of its major shows due to lack of interest, should others be on the chopping block? And, Ford has just initiated a very interesting program challenging app makers to dig deep into its fuel economy data. Joining John McElroy in studio is co-host Peter De Lorenzo, the Autoextremist, and Gary Vasilash from Automotive Design & Production.

Remember the days when Chrysler interiors were wall-to-wall shiny plastic? It’s quickly becoming a fading memory because, with Klaus Busse, Head of Interior Design, at the helm, the company’s cabins are among the best in the business.

This week the AAH team gets out its crystal ball to see what is in store for the industry in the next few years. Michael Robinet from IHS will be on hand to help us do just that. We’ll ask him to map out the state of the global industry in the years ahead. Plus, we’ll take a look at future vehicles through the prism of the spectacle known stateside as the Geneva Motor Show. Paul Eisenstein from TheDetroitBureau.com has spent the last several days at this massive show, and he’ll tell us what cars to watch. Plus, we’ll get into other hot topics like the latest vehicle sales — why did passenger cars plummet? Also, it looks like LPG and CNG are poised to dominate the heavy truck market. Joining John McElroy in studio to talk about all that and much more is his co-host Peter De Lorenzo, the Autoextremist.

What’s black and blue and striped all over? Well, it’s rolling into the Autoline After Hours studio this week, and the team at Mopar is ready for it to tear up the tarmac. Our guest is Pietro Gorlier, President & CEO of the Mopar Brand, and he’ll be bringing a very special variant of the Dodge Dart called the Mopar ’13 — in fact the only one traveling around right now. We’ll be asking Mr. Gorlier what’s so special about this slick-looking compact, and we’ll find out more about Mopar’s dealer business. Plus, we’ll get into the news of the week: a top Porsche designer departs for greener pastures at… Chery?; GM steals away Volkswagen’s top marketing executive; and we rank the automakers to see who has the best claim as top dog. Joining John McElroy in studio to talk about all that and much more, is Scott Burgess from Motor Trend and Gary Vasilash of Automotive Design & Production.
