The crowd (especially photographers) swooned over this Lincoln. This car is stylish, modern and classy.
The total package at VW was delivered crisp and clean.
The Toyota Scion. The summer season summed up.
Beautiful details, even on the trunk of the Toyota Prius.
Toyota Venza. The style lines on the Venza are nicely balanced and sharp. Plenty of admirers at the show.
Toyota Venza. The most interesting new color at the show.
This GM model was jaw dropping for all of the wrong reasons. The arrows point to all of its’ “blue light” features. I’m only half joking when I say that I expect it serves double duty as a slot machine.
Show Notes
Ford: The only vendor to take care of the kids with video games and other interactive games.
Ford: Flex. I’m surprised by how many people really dislike the Flex. The first time I saw this car on the road I was intrigued but impartial. In no time I grew to appreciate it’s originality and now I think it’s almost perfect, except for a small style change at the back end near the roof .
Dodge Caliber: It’s a cute cute little car, but saddle it up next to another hatchback like the Venza and the crucial chord that separates the two is thoughtful, laborious design.
Distinction adds value in the form of appreciation for years to come. Take note in the Prelude or the Mustang.
I suspect the Nissan Cube will get the ball rolling in the “think outside of the box” compact car category.
Chrysler and GM I’ve never been known to drool over a car like I do with textiles and colors. I walked through the halls and stopped only when my interest peaked. Nothing stopped me here. It was all business as usual.
Everyone of the presenters was so polished and professional so the one guy presenting at Chrysler in jeans was easily observed. Not that jeans can’t be formal, but this guy was noticeably dressed down in a lethargic kind of way. I couldn’t help but compare…….
