Autoline After Hours 40 - Two Big Ifs

Another week in the auto industry and we have more stories of
triumph and failure. While Ford trumpets mega profits, Toyota finds
itself amidst an embarrassing recall and production freeze of
millions of vehicles. Meanwhile, Big Ed Whitacre has appointed
himself as permanent CEO of GM, and we're not really sure yet if
that's good or bad. With us to debate these issues and more is a
friend of the show who's really with us every Thursday night,
albeit virtually. Eric Trytko, the blogger and podcaster from
Rumblestrip.net is normally one of our loyal chat mods, but tonight
he's here in the flesh to weigh in on the discussion. Peter De
Lorenzo, the Autoextremist, and David Welch from BusinessWeek and
Bloomberg News also join John McElroy in studio.
