That had to be the oddest car I'd ever seen, but I couldn't take my eyes off of it!

I looked around the net to see if I could find something about that space-age GM concept, but I couldn't find anything.

Some of my favorites from the auto show:
--Cadillac Sixteen (concept)
--Buick Centieme (concept, pictured on page 2)
--Chevrolet Equinox
--Audi S4
--BMW 6-series (I believe the one at the show was the 645)

Jinx waited in line to sit in the TT. then this kid butted in front of her. nice. It was better the year we went on a weeknight. you could actually look at them. too crowded on sunday.

I've noticed a distinct swing toward making cars look more agressive. Probably to lure back SUV and truck buyers. I'm not sure the desire to intimidate fellow travelers, bodes well for the future.

huh. as i was driving to this very auto show, i wished more than once that i was driving a road warrior esque vehicle with huge iron plates, and spikes and shit through that traffic....i bet that prick in the ford explorer would have let me merge.......I think i'll just put a 3" lift kit on the family Jeep and a brush guard.....after the warranty expires...

styling has taken over the top spot in why people select a particular model. it used to be safety, before that, economy, before that, performance.....now it's all about the bling bling.

Why wouldn't he let you merge? was he waiting in line 15 minutes and you blew past the line waiting and wanted to cut in the front of the line?
