It was pretty fun, and I am proud to say I've picked some more vehicular knowledge, especially when it comes to high-performance Cadillac (the CTS-V), Audi (the R8) and Lexus (the LFA) models. What can I say? I live with a nerd, and I am a geek - he always knows something about everything, and I am always curious about it!
There were plenty of 2012 and 2013 models that we not all that interesting - Toyota, Honda, and Jeep brands for example. I figured there would be more concept cars present, but given the economy of the world, the concepts I suppose people are most interested in are fuel economy and cost efficiency. There were far too many hatchbacks, as well as a fair share of newly emerging hybrid models attempting to look as aesthetically pleasing as their gasoline-only counterparts.
Lucky for me, the only Lotus model shown was the Evora, my personal favorite. It doesn't have a lot of horsepower for a racing car, but it's very lightweight and fun to drive (so I hear).
S got to oogle a really nice 2013 Ford Mustang "Boss" 302 in "grabber blue," the best Mustang color out there, in my opinion. We saw this car first, and really, nothing could top it.
Oh, yeah, and poking innocent fun at the "Gucci" model of the Fiat. This little lady had a lot of admirers, but S and I were not among them.
So, in the words of a car commerical voiceover: Here's to innovation, to creativity, to the blend of beauty, power and functionality in the machines that take us the places we want to go.
