Greg Bell and I just got back yesterday from the auto show in Detroit. We were going to drive up very early Saturday, get there by 10, and drive back when we were done but more snow was closing in so we left Friday night instead and stayed at a cheap motel (got it on Orbitz) in Dearborn. Big winners: Ford and Suzuki (Ford was generating to most traffic with the new Mustang, Cobra, and GT, all of which are SO COOL. and of course the new F-150s as well. Suzuki has some very nice new family cars out that I would take a look at when replacing the Geo: well screwed together, attractive, and passed the door test - makes a nice clunk when you slam it) Big losers: Saturn and Kia (Every Saturn we looked at and sat in was cheap, flimsy, and overpriced; and Kia....Oh, Kia, Kia, Kia. You would think that the CHEAPEST cars at this show where you're trying to draw interest, the ones in the display next to the likes of Maserati and Bentley, wouldn't be LOCKED.) Honorable mentions include Dodge (for the NASCAR simulator) and Jeep (for the cool waterfall, the video games, and the Wrangler Unlimited).
