Show Notes
The last few years have been tough on OEMs, but the Center for Automotive Research predicts sales will improve significantly in 2011. Toyota halted production in Japan, but not for any of the reasons you might think. Ford is rumored to be developing a front-wheel-drive replacement for the Falcon it sells in Australia. All that and more, plus guest host Murray Feldman from Fox 2 News, Detroit, shares some of his thoughts on a potential problem the Big Three face going forward as the price of oil climbs.
