Buyers in the US will be able to browse and purchase vehicles from dealers on Amazon starting from next yea. We hear if consumers are likely to buy a Hyundai car alongside their online shopping basket and why this deal will change the way we purchase cars going forward. We take a look at the aftermath of that meeting between Joe Biden and Xi Jinping. Is anything going to change in the somewhat icy trade relations? And the UK luxury chocolatier Hotel Chocolat has been sold to the US confectionary giant Mars for $660 million. We find out why this deal has raised some eyebrows and if Mars can help the brand conquer the US.

History of Volkswagen Beetle The fascinating history of the Volkswagen Beetle could take up far more than a 30-minute podcast.  It's one of the most-built, best-selling, most-modified, loved and nicknamed cars on the planet. What other vehicle has a childhood game named after it?  I can't think of one... if you can please let me know! All incredible things must come to an end.  Yes, 2019 marks the end of the road for the Slugbug, the Bug, the original Volkswagen, the Type 1 - the Beetle.  The last of the new Volkswagen Beetles are already hard to come by but if you can get your hands on one my bet is they are worth way more than whatever you pay for one in just a handful of years. Click play below and check out the massive number of Beetle pics while you listen to the long storied history of the Beetle.  Originals, restores, modifies, off-road, racers... even a see-through wrought iron Beetle for weddings! And if you want to buy one of the last of the new Beetles just contact our friends at Ontario Volkswagen.  This special podcast is brought to you - commercial free as always - by them! ***Transcription*** Recorded @ the LA Auto Show Press Days The People's Car - Type 1 - History of Volkswagen's Beetle Mark: Ferdinand Porsche was commissioned by the German government in the 30s to build a vehicle that would be usable by families on the new network of Autobahn. 1946 Volkswagen Beetle The government actually took deposits for these cars and built very, very few of them before the war. The first actual Volkswagens themselves were made in 1946. Volkswagen stands for "people's car". Originally it wasn't called the Beetle, it was the Type 1. An Introduction - History of Volkswagen Beetle Tom: Welcome to iDriveSoCal, the podcast all about mobility from the automotive capital of the United States, southern California. Tom Smith here and I am excited to be joined by Mark Gillies. iDSC's Tom Smith & VW of Americas Mark Gillies Am I getting the name right?

We are at Automobility LA, which is the press days of the LA Automotive Show. Mark is the Senior Manager of Product Communications for Volkswagen of America. I got that right as well, right? 1947 VW Beetle purchased new in England Mark: You did, yes you did. "The topic that we're talking about here is the history of the Volkswagen's Beetle, the iconic, the legendary, the special place in everybody's heart whether slug bug, Beetle bug, what have you."

It's an exciting place to be right now. VW's Beetle Readies to Drive Into History Mark: Yeah, it's cool. It's always fun when you're doing the setup.

Welcome to Day 2 of The Weekly Driver Podcast's special coverage of AutoMobility LA and the LA Auto Show. Today (Nov. 28) was the opening day for media previews of new car debuts, and it didn't disappoint. While co-host Bruce Aldrich produced Episode No. 62 remotely, James Raia (your other co-host) was reporting from the showroom halls of the Los Angeles Convention Center. Cadillac showcased its new SUV, the XT4, at LA Auto Show. Image © James Raia/2018. We have three guests. Phil Zak is the exterior designer for Cadillac. He explains the enduring brand's continuing transition into the SUV segment, particularly the new XT4. We also discuss Cadillac's continuing pursuit to appeal to younger buyers. And we also talk about the recent announcement of GM's decision to shut down several production plants and discontinue a half-dozen cars, including two Cadillac models. Our second guest is Josh McGuckin. With a team of more than 20 people and a co-driver, McGuckin completed the Baja 1,000 in 2017 and plans to do it again next year. The Volkswagen Beetle McGuckin's drove in the event was part of the homage to Volkswagen in the Technology Pavillion during AutoMobility LA. Several dozen vintage VW Beetles were on display during Beetles & Breakfast, a celebration of the iconic brand. The 2019 model is the last production year for the Beetle. And in the closing segment, The Weekly Driver Podcast talks with Steven Clancy, the president of Prestone. It's the more than 90-year company famous for its anti-freeze and coolant. Clancy and I discuss the company's new product and how the company has adapted to new needs in the automotive industry.

Welcome to our special podcast episodes from AutoMobility LA and the Los Angeles Auto Show. For the past few years, AutoMobility LA has showcased the ever-advancing technology in the automotive world. Our first episode is direct from the technology tent on the eve of the opening day of the traditional show. The Byton concept SUV has a 49-inch touchscreen interface. Image © James Raia/2018 Co-host Bruce Aldrich is producing the show remotely, but James Raia (that's me) will be reporting live from the showroom floor for three days. We'll start with two diverse guests, Florian Bauer from the concept electric vehicle Byton and Jeremy Levi, a sales consultant for Airstream. Bauer is director of product management for Byton. It's considered a pending top competitor for Tesla and it's about year from its debut in China, where its financial backing is located. If Byton's future advances as planned, the M-Byte crossover and E-Byte sedan will debut to the American public via its U.S. base in Santa Clara, California in June 2020. Bauer and I discuss the unique Byton features. With an advertised base price of $45,000, the Byton is marketed for drivers and passenger to operate the vehicle or controls some of its features with Amazon Alexa voice commands or hand gestures. The command operation is a touchscreen that extends the entire length of the dash. It's 49 inches long and 10 inches high. The seats in the spacious SUV swivel so passengers can face each other. Levi discusses the new fully connected Airstream Classic. With all-new Smart Control Technology, the Airstream Classic's most important features and amenities can be monitored and controlled from anywhere. Travelers can stay connected to the comforts of home, even when far from it. In addition to its availability on this website, the Weekly Driver Podcast is also available on iTunes.
