This week on Burnout Radio, we start with a new format which hopefully over the next few weeks will be hammered into something glorious, but knowing us, probably not. Obama states that he wants nothing to do with GM. GM files bankruptcy, and they managed to sell both Hummer and Saturn. We found some nifty spy photos of the new Ford Fiesta sedan. Devon motors releases a trickle of info about the new GTX super car and let’s not forget the Scorpion and the Bewerp. We also found out that the U.S. Airforce tried to top the National Guard for the “who has the cooler car award” with the Mustang X1 and the Challenger Vapor. Speaking of custom cars, we also try and figure out if American Muscle can be green. Then we ask the question, “What have we come to as a society when thieves don’t have the common curtosy to at least put your car on blocks when they steal your wheels?”

Thanks for another informative podcast guys. Being 8 hours time difference do not usually listen live. Hence the delay on sending a thank you for responding to my question regarding how Ford is educating their dealership network on the upcoming Fiesta launch.
Couple comments on this #48 podcast, the Fiesta sedan spy pics looks pretty much the same as the Asia Fiesta sedan. IMO the sedan looks rather uninteresting.
On the Bewerp, it looks out of proportion IMO because of the extra length needed to be a 4 door. Also odd combo of rounded lines mixed with square lines keeps it out of sync.
Listening from Tallinn Estonia, look forward to your next podcast which is tonight at 12 midnight my time
yeah neither one of us much care for the sedan. i thought the bewerp looked kind of ugly imo i just couldn’t put my finger on it. but you hit the nail on the head. the curves vs angles thing was what i was struggeling with. and while the way the designers addressed the rear doors is cool, it still ends up being a bit awkard.
also i forgot to change the live cast date. our guest could not be on this afternoon, so we are recording on our usual firday afternoon slot.
and as always if you want us to talk about something, just drop us a comment on our forum or shoot us an email and we’ll work it in to the podcast.
