Autoline After Hours Tonight with Larry Erickson, Transportation Design Chair, CCS
Tonight we hit a milestone. 50 episodes of “unscripted, unapproved, unusually frank discussion” from Autoline After Hours. We, and the auto industry, have come a long way in the last year, and tonight we’ll spend a little time looking back–at the good and the bad. But, we’ll also be looking forward as we welcome our guest, Larry Erickson, the Chair of Transportation Design for the College of Creative Studies in Detroit. You’ll be surprised to learn just how many top car designers have come out of that school, and we’ll be asking Larry where the future of automotive design is going. John McElroy’s in studio with Peter De Lorenzo, the Autoextremist, as well as David Welch from BusinessWeek and Bloomberg News.

Autoline After Hours
t seems like the bad news just doesn’t stop for Toyota these days. Millions of vehicles have been recalled, with perhaps, more to come, tarnishing the auto giant’s record of high-quality workmanship. Now, members of Congress are calling for Akio Toyoda to testify stateside. To discuss the delicate art of Crisis Management on this week’s show, and what Toyota could have done better, we’re summoning an old friend for a deposition before our panel.
Jason Vines was at the helm of Ford Public Relations when the Explorer rollover crisis occurred in the 1990s. We’ll ask how a company can effectively diffuse a PR bomb and keep the situation from spiraling out of control. John McElroy’s onboard as usual as well as David Welch of BusinessWeek and Bloomberg and Peter De Lorenzo, the Autoextremist.

Autoline After Hours Jamie Allison, Dir., Ford North America Motorsports
As the racing season gets ready to begin, the After Hours crew thought it would be appropriate to welcome the new director of Ford North America Motorsports on the show. Jamie Allison has worked for the Ford Motor Co. for 22 years in engineering, marketing, as well as Ford racing, but this month he was named to the top spot. We’re eager to ask him what he thinks NASCAR needs to do to become more technologically relevant to the auto industry. Also, how can racing help sell the new reality of premium small cars in America? John McElroy will be here for the discussion as well as David Welch of BusinessWeek and Bloomberg and Peter De Lorenzo, the Autoextremist.
