Find out what he's got in store for the blue oval's product line. We'll also take some time to remember David E.

RoundAbout is a podcast devoted to the weird, under-reported and humorous side of automotive news and car culture. Each week, led by Autoline correspondent Craig Cole, our crack team of contributors, picks an automotive theme and gathers to talk about the news items and whatever else they can contort to fit that theme. We also talk about what new (or old) cars we’ve been driving each week, check out the latest viral videos and look at hot new auto gadgets.
