American car maker that might actually survive: Ford
Ford had a lineup that didn't suck. Mostly. I'm not a Mustang fan, but that's me. A lot of people like them and that's their thing so more power to them. Talk to me when you get a most distinguished style and an actual suspension. The Focus, the Fusion and the new Taurus were all pretty sweet. Ford brought out some hybrids and downplayed the trucks except the F-150. Mercury and Lincoln made no buzz at all though. Ditch 'em.
More boring lineup ever: Toyota
The Toyota section was a sea of family cars and crossover SUVs. Not one sports car in their line. Closest thing to a sport car is the Tc. Okay, I guess. Spent less then five minutes before I walked away.Lexus was way on the other side of the convention center. Probably because IS-F was embarrassed to be related to the RAV-4.
God damn I want a: Mercedes-Benz C class. Especially an AMG.
Most likely to not be at next year's show: Chrysler
Okay Chrysler, have you ever heard of the 1970s? You know, the first time you had to borrow a ton of money from the federal government so you don't go bankrupt. Remember the cars you were building then? The Chargers and Challengers, etc. Why do you insult us by building the same cars and making them retro styled right before our tax money goes to keeping you afloat again? How about you just teabag me when I'm asleep and then stop making cars. It's less embarrassing for us both.
Wow, that looks awesome in real life: Nissan GT-R
Seriously, the media pictures do it no justice. See this car in real life, it has such a presence. It's like it knows it's faster then a 911 turbo and a lot cheaper. It's an $80,000 Japanese rocket and it's damn smug about it.
Car I spent 30 minutes drooling in front of: Porsche Carrera GT
Nuff said.
BMW's don't have cup holders: What the fuck?
