Publisher's Summary:
700,000 people are expected to attend the North American International Auto Show when it opens in Detroit on January 16th. In addition to the more than 700 new cars on display, attendees will see an industry transformed. Since last year's show, General Motors and Chrysler have gone in and out of bankruptcy; Chrysler is now run by Fiat; and Toyota announced its first loss in almost 60 years. Paul Ingrassia spent 31 years with The Wall Street Journal, eight of those as the Detroit Bureau Chief. He won a Pulitzer Prize for coverage of GM and has written a number of books about the auto industry. His newest is called Crash Course: The American Automobile Industry's Road from Glory to Disaster. Then, Americans spend an average of 18 œ hours a week in their cars. That means that out of the waking hours, we spend almost two months of the year in our vehicles. Catherine Lutz teamed up with her sister to write Carjacked: The Culture of the Automobile & Its Effect on Our Lives. The authors pair statistics with stories to explore what Americans' love affair with the car gets us and what it costs us. [Broadcast Date: January 13, 2010]
