With veteran automotive journalist John McElroy at the helm, this daily automotive webcast is the best way to fill up on automotive news. So, joining us from Detroit, Michigan is Autoline Daily, from Autoline Detroit.

We've decided to package all of the week's videos into one post, complete with descriptions of each episode. There's no better way (or place) to catch up on what you may have missed in the car world.

Topics from the week include:

• October 12: Ford and the UAW have a tentative agreement that would give Ford the same basic agreements GM and Chrysler received. U.S. transportation secretary Ray LaHood is in Detroit this week to meet with all three American automakers. Russian carmaker AvtoVAZ is pushing for more government aid.
• October 13: India and China car sales are on fire, Ford’s sales soar in Europe, and Bugatti expands its dealer base.
• October 14: Ford gets stuck with another big recall, Tesla starts making house calls, and Vauxhall will keep a couple plants open.
• October 15: GM’s latest ad campaign has some surprising results, Tata tries to fill a gap in its lineup, and Citroen plays with “augmented reality.”
• October 16: More details about the Volkswagen/Porsche alliance emerge, Ford battles industrial espionage, and BMW pioneers a greener metal casting process.
