What new Lincolns are debuting? Anybody know?
I love my WRX and it's awesome to read that they are coming out with a convertible and some hybrid technology. The cars are amazing, thanks for the information!!!!!

I've seen pics of a new Aviator.
Also Mark LT (truck), Mark X concept.

I really like Ford's new Shelby Cobra Concept car.
The first good looking Mustang that Ford has produced in thirty years:

I had someone from here's F40 picture as my desktop at work for the longest time last year.
my favorite thing about the detroit auto show?

driving underneath it every day.

where could check more pictures from Detroit Auto Show please?
many thanks scottiB, I really like the Range Stormer idea. At "first sight", I dislike the little side window of the Mustang, wish to check the Mustang interior look. Corvette�s was so disapointment for me... But overall, the Mustang looks good.

Why's that? Just wondering...
i liked the the dodge slingshot

"Why's that? Just wondering..."

Maybe because I am european, that is, the Corvette�s interior looks cheap and common. I preffer the previous one or maybe two generations ago? Do not blame on me, first Corvette I liked was the one from 'Faceman' in "The A-Team"


The Chrysler SlingShot looks like Chrysler is finally acknowledging the all-important lost Del Sol market Honda cut-off prematurely and the Mini-Cooper.



and you know the minis already.

5 years maybe?

We should run a sweepstake.

Stupid car designers.
I actually really like the new Vet, don't know why but it just appeals to me.
My favorite part of the 2004 NAIAS would have to be the models. Last year was Melanie at Acura, this year is TBA.
I am going to finish college in around 2005... so a new wheel is needed...

What's the chances of the concept models in the market?
It's good to see Ford producing some good looking vehicles. Their new trucks look great and I love that new Mustang design.
I read on one of my wrx forums that the slingshot is only going to have a 100 hp engine!?!?!!? They may have been wrong but jeez, that is woefully underpowered for an econobox...although I'm not sure category that vehicle would fall under... my eyes hurt....

The mustang on the other hand looks freakin sweet!! I'll be curious how fit/finish/performance will be like...

Looks like a Honda S2000 to me.

I don't see ANY resemblance. And the Slingshot was on the auto show circuit last year too, nothing new.
Chrysler Sling Shot? More likely a massaged DaimlerChrysler Smart Roadster

No new news here

he he he the A pillar must allow to the driver see across it, as in the Volvo SCC. But you know, someone comes with a nice idea (Mercedes S Class with indicators in the side mirrors), and everyone copy it.
As I said earlier, retro on the Mustang looks really good.

But...retro on the Bronco? Not such a good thing:



really? i think the cobra's headlights look awful, and think the bronco (and jeep rescue) concepts look positively awesome. different strokes i guess.
The Stang looks so goofy upfront. The general lines are good, but the whole thing ended up too retro overall.

And what the hell is all the rage with retro?
