Half the fun for me is getting up close and personal with cars I know I will never own

I will snap a few pictures there for you today

Man, that show was lacking

Most of the upcoming production cars I wanted to see up close were not even there. Never mind concepts, we only got a couple of those this year.

No CRZ,
no Mini SUV,
no BMW M3,
no Buick Regal
no Chevy Volt

To top if off most of the Audi's were locked and "sold" and BMW only brought in base models... wtf? Was Acura even there this year?

Mitsubishi, Ford and Kia had a decent showing, but most of the other major players were a big dissapointment... same stuff you can find on the lots for the past two years.

the new Gullwing was my favorite though, that car was so sweet!

It was nice to see they had the Mazda 2 there for sure!

I was actually excited to see the Fiesta, while better than the old econo-box cars Ford was putting out, it was still pretty cheap feeling inside. After getting an up close look at it, I would take my Honda anyday.
