So, went to the auto show today. Pretty cool. Walked a ton!
Took 155 pics, but here's my favorites.

Mercury Messenger concept was pretty neat.
Jeepster was awesome, I would own one.
****** was odd, but kinda cool in a way.
Bel Air was different.
New Mustang is drop dead gorgeous.

Nice pics, What do you think about those mustangs? I find them pretty good looking from front but the back sux. If it came down to buy Mustang I would pick 03 body style.

Yah those things look pretty badass. I agree though the backend could use a little work, they should of gone with the triple slots like on the 69s, would of fit the look of the car better and would be cool with LEDs. I never thought I'd compliment a stang but I think they pulled off the whole retro thing pretty good.

I'm not a big fan of the new stangs, I'm sure they will be pretty fast though.

That Hummer pic is my favorite, that is INSANE!!!! If someone touched it, it would fall off. Bet they glued it to the ramp

I love the new mustang. The production model will be a little longer
and a couple inches taller... This one is a 2 seater, production is 2+2.
Will be interesting to see the real deal.

I don't have any specs on the Caddy, but do you need any? It's tight!

I was just wondering if it's supposed to be a supercar? Or more like a crossfire or 350z sports car type..

Cadillac Cien concept, mid concept engine from GM Powertrain
named the Northstar XV12, the body and monocoque chassis
are produced from carbon fibre composite.

The all-aluminum, dual overhead cam (DOHC) four-valve V12 engine
generates 750 horsepower and 450 lb.-ft. of torque, yet it meets
the packaging requirements and fuel economy standards of a V8.

For more, just do a search on Cadillac Cien.
