Chevy redesigned the Aveo after 3 years on the market.
|
|
|
I liked the old one better. |
|
 |
 |
|
We don't get the new concept cars. This Chevrolet
SS from 2003 holds up well though. The shiny metal
back was lookin a little dinged up though.
|
|
|
For a sports car with a back seat however, I think
they (were) on to something.
|
|
 |
 |
|
The HHR screamed, we need to compete with the PT
Cruiser.
|
|
|
Corvette,
a big yawn in any color.
|
|
 |
 |
|
Some dumb old Chrysler concept. |
|
|
With a bunch of LED tailights.
|
|
 |
 |
|
Ford, redefining the minivan with the "Edge". Which
doesn't look half bad from the side.
|
|
|
I'm not sure the new signature “chrome” grille is
of the right proportion on this beast.
|
|
 |
 |
|
I suppose this Fusion is a bit more adventurous
than the 500. It's a step in the right direction for
Ford. |
|
|
The GT still makng the rounds.
|
|
 |
 |
|
The Jeep Gladiator looked a bit too stretched. I
can only say the name with a Molly Shannon imitating
Liz Taylor inflection. |
|
|
Neatest accoutrement? The sunglass holder of the
Honda Odyssey with built in kid mirror. It locked into
place offering a view of the back seat. In fact, the
Odyssey was a wealth of little nifty details.

Speakers on the top of the front seats in this Inifiniti.

Infiniti guages. Very bright.
|
|
|
Shopping in the Jaguar section. |
|
 |
 |
|
Saab thing.
|
|
|
LR3 dash. Pretty much what I consider excellent. Too
bad about the gas mileage though. Perfect for hybrid
future.
|
|
 |
 |
|
The Chevy Tahoe can fold t-shirts at the touch of a
button. |
|
|
Inside the Toyota Yaris (more photos a few rows down)
|
|
 |
 |
|
The new Camry looking damn fine.
|
|
|
Much better than the current version.
|
|
 |
 |
|
The Toyota Avalon interioir had nice tones, but I'm
curious if all those little doors covering up the controls
sacrifices form over function. They looked donkey when
open.
|
|
|
I was really looking forward to seeing the FJ, but
when all's said and done, it seemed like a cramped interior
with bad gas mileage and big honking blind spots.
|
|
 |
 |
|
The Prius interiro was a bit too shiny plastic for
me, but the double glovebox was nifty. This was my first
chance to sit in this Toyota hybrid, and the verdict:
I don't fit.
|
|
|
The Yaris has a sedan version, but the hatchback is
cooler and has a better front end design. |
|
 |
 |
|
Toyota Yaris. My pick for economy ride.
|
|
|
The rear view. |
|
 |
 |
|
Volvo has this interesting console that is a floating
plane. Very interesting, but you'd think there'd be cupholders
behind it.
|
|
|
The VW Eos. Or, the Flintstones car wherein I look
like Dino getting hit by bugs as my head sticks over
the roofline.
|
|
 |
 |
|
Inside the Golf... I wonder what the star button does... Of
all VW interiors, the Golf has been spared all the horrible,
horrible fake chrome.
|
|
|
Finally, we get the updated Golf/GTI. The honeycomb
texture seems like a nightmare for dirt.
