This Podcast Is Driving You to the NY Auto Show (With a Quick Stop in Shanghai)

This week's podcast is about cars, cars, cars. Concept cars, vehicle refreshes and new production models are getting unveiled at two auto shows simultaneously in New York and Shanghai.

Among the interesting new vehicles shown in NY this week
was the refreshed Subaru Impreza
We relied heavily on the great coverage from AutoBlog and Jalopnik to round-up the coolest and lamest designs. Our favorites: Scion's FR-S, Hyundai Accent, Nissan Versa and Chevrolet Malibu, among many others.

But there were other bits of news from the transportation world this week.

Buick showed it's new IntelliLink in-car communications system and BMW's ConnectedDrive was tested out.

And in troubling news for car shoppers, Japanese auto makers are going to test their vehicles for radiation before they are shipped to the U.S.

Finally, San Francisco is planning some crazy parking pricing that could lead to $18 an hour parking fees as it tries to reduce traffic on the streets.
