Ford Mustang chief engineer, mid-engine Corvette | Autoblog Podcast #488
Fri, Sep 16 2016
On the podcast this week, we have some questions for Ford Chief Engineer Carl Widman. Plus, Associate Editor Reese Counts joins Mike Austin to talk about the latest news, most notably the spy photos of the upcoming mid-engine Corvette. We also chat about the Jaguar F-Type Coupe, the Nissan Armada, and why 0-60 mph is a stupid performance figure. And, of course, we get into some Spend My Money advice, telling strangers what car to buy. And new this week is a cost-no-object what-cars-would-you-buy game.
The rundown is below. And don't forget to send us your questions, money-spend or otherwise, to podcast at autoblog dot com.
