Episode #145 of the Autoblog Podcast is a mostly-<a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/frankfurt-auto-show/">Frankfurt Motor Show</a> edition. Chris, Sam and Dan are joined by Mark Kaufman, Ford's C-segment marketing manager, and Blue-Oval product communications manager Mark Schirmer. The two Marks join us to talk about what Ford's got up its sleeve for Frankfurt and beyond. The C1 Focus is finally making the transatlantic journey, and we're getting the flexible and efficient <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/09/15/ford-grand-c-max-coming-to-north-america-in-late-2011/">Grand C-Max</a>, as well. Talk turns all <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/09/15/embargo-9-15-09-5am-edt-frankfurt-2009-ford-unveils-the-1-6-li/">EcoBoosty</a> and <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/09/15/embargo-9-15-09-5am-edt-ford-to-eventually-have-10-models-on-ne/">future-plannish</a> before the crew moves on to the sights at Frankfurt. <br />
<br />
The <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/09/14/frankfurt-2009-volkswagen-l1-concept-the-most-fuel-efficient/">Volkswagen L1 concept</a> sets us off on the environmentally conscious aspects of the show, which we quickly abandoned in favor of such awesomeness as the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/09/14/officially-official-audi-r8-5-2-fsi-spyder-blade-gains-lots-of/">Audi R8 Spyder</a>, roofless Lamborghini Reventon, and the slick <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/09/14/frankfurt-2009-audi-s5-sportback-unveiled-no-you-cant-have-t/">Audi S5 Sportback</a>. Taking a left turn down Odd Street, we test our intestinal fortitude with the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/09/14/bugatti-galibier-leaks-out-after-private-unveiling-in-molsheim/">Bugatti Galibier</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/09/14/frankfurt-preview-peugeot-mixes-car-with-scooter-to-create-the/">Peugeot BB1</a> and <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/09/14/frankfurt-preview-citroen-revolte-leaks-out-ahead-of-debut/">Citroen's Revolte</a>. Questions wrap it up, and again, it clocks in with extra value past the hour and a half mark. <br />
