Detroit 2010

So i was busy the past couple of months and i didn't get to really do much on this blog other than set it up. Then the LA auto show came and went, and as expected it was pretty weak with the exception of a couple of concepts that were okay like the HONDA P-NUT and the VOLKSWAGEN UP something or other. Other than that there wasn't much else really besides some repeats from previous shows. One notable repeat from Frankfurt or Geneva I can't remember was the BMW EfficientDynamics Concept. What a great car to see in person, the attention to detail, and the craftsman ship on the model were pretty amazing. Proportionally the car was great too. Love it or hate it the car like the GINA before it has some great presence and pushes new boundaries for the company and frankly for the industry as a whole, hardly anybody else is doing true concept cars anymore. But all this a side the LA auto show pretty much sucked, and i was really looking forward to Detroit thinking that the big 3 had reserved all their money and resources to kick some ass at this year's North American auto show, but to every ones expectations and not to my surprise they didn't have much , it looked like another LA auto show with literally a couple of production ready concepts and some new model debuts, and that was it. It was really disappointing I was really looking forward to seeing some good stuff after almost 2 years have passed on an ailing American industry, and a struggling economy, I was hoping for more particularly from the "big" 3 ( they no longer are ). But I'll say this, GM and Ford's up and coming facelifted and redesigned vehicles are by far their best in decades and for that I'm greatful!
