i was disapointed this year, no one is making a compact pickup... the F150 is a huge beast now sadly the only car i liked was the regal GS, i know old man car, but its pretty sad the pickings at the car show this year

And the fact that almost all new cars look alike to me, soulless transportation pods.

drive the Regal GS... it's pretty far from an old man's car.

samurai, first time ive been excited about a car in a LONG time! the GS may definately replace the grand prix when its number is up, although my collegues norstar never winter driven bonneville is tempting too

Last year's autoshow was sad, too. The only remotely interesting new car was the ToyotaBaru (Subie BRZ/Scion FR-S).

New cars suck for the most part. I mean, I like Beetles and stuff, but aside from that (and I do love the redesign, but I *AM* kinda biased towards Beetles), I haven't been wowed by the intro of a new car in years.

Heck, even every Lamborghini for the past 10 years has looked basically the same. I'm not saying nothing shockingly new hasn't been released in the past few years (cough... Nissan Juke... cough) but certainly nothing tasteful or attractive.


And then there's the 2014 Corvette. No, I don't like any 'Vette from the C3 and newer, but... how the hell did the screw up the taillights on the thing?! YOU HAD ONE JOB.

i liked that Chevrolet 150R from last year... was hoping that it went into production.

its painful to thinki spent more time looking at the genesis coupe than i did in the whole ford booth

I'm still hoping they bring it over here at some point...that and the focus RS are both quite nice. Still think my next car is going to be something turbo and AWD tho....kinda silly having all that power and only putting it down into 2 wheels.

130R, you mean?

I'm just looking at it now...and it doesn't really strike my fancy. Kind of reminds me of the BMW M3 GT2.

Meh. Try being a Jeep guy. Fuck.

But in all seriousness jeep hasn't changed much because well lets face it theres not a lot you can do if you stick to almost the exact same body and chassis, and whenever they try to make a really nice street version people make fun of it. Frankly theres not muc you can change on a legit jeep without hurting some of its qualities.

Hahah... True.

At least the engine is still in the right end of the vehicle you love.

And then when Jeep does changes things, its because they made it work! For example, the Cherokee in 1984...no one thought they could build a unibody jeep, but guess what? It sold for 17 years

Open Jeeps haven't changed much. That other shit, goddammit.

Problem is their not a Jeep. They are a brand car. It would get stuck on wet grass. Sigh.
