This is my take on the 2004 North American AutoShow.
First off is Ford. Ford had the best display that I have seen from them in years. The GT is awsome. The Mustang is "Da Bomb". The Five hundred looks better in person. Pictures don't do this car justice. It looks well finished and very europeon. It looks like Audi made it. It will be big seller. The Aviator is beautiful. Can't wait to see this on the road. The Lincoln Truck is sharp. Will give Cadillac a run for the money with the Rap crowd. What really surprised me was the attention the Marauder was getting. People were really flocking to this car. I was able to answer a few questions about it. I really did not want to leave the MM display. I give Ford a solid A+.
GM had some nice stuff too. The Vette is as cool as ever. The replacement for the Grand Am, the G6 is a really nice car that should do well. I think it is done better than the GranPrix. The Bonneville will get the V-8 Northstar good for 275 hp. Cadillac had the the pavement ripping CTS-V. 400hp and a 6-speed in a tight package. Gotta love it. $50,000, gotta hate it. Other than that nothing else really exciting.
Chrysler stole the show with the MD supercar. Beautiful 850hp Ferrari killer. The 300C hemi and the Magnum Hemi are nice cars too. Both with an available Hemi V-8 good for 340hp. The Magnum with the hemi should be under $30,000. The 300C loaded with a hemi around $35,000. I loved the Crossfire and PT Cruiser convertables too. I think the RAM RT with the Viper engine is still a step behind the Lightning but it is a damn good try. A little expensive though.
I checked out the imports and saw some nice stuff but still can't bring myself to comment on them. Although I will tell you my friend works the Ferrari, Masarati display and was able to sit in them. The new $100,000 Quatroprte is quite a car. This car hsa everthing a $100,000 should. Get this, the glove box is even power. You push an electric release button and the glove box powers open. I need a new job. The rich really know how to live.
Anyway, I hope you enjoyed my review. If you are going to the show enjoy it. Stop by and answer questions at the MM display.
