Auto show on the news Can't Post

Tonight's news had a segment on some auto show going on. I think they said it was in Detroit. Anyway, they led in with the DCX Jeep Liberty, which has a forward rake reminiscent of the PT. And they had a nice brief highlight of the PT for everyone eager to get one (the auto-show version had something odd about its hood, looked flatter -- anyone else see it and know what they were doing??).

Next they moved on to F*rd and some new concept car which was drawn from four or five cars out of the 1950's. Looked ok, nothing great.

Finally, they tailed off (the ***-end) with GM's new concept cars -- a truly ugly pair of SUV's, a Caddy convertible that looked like something out of that old 1970's childrens' TV show "Ark II", and some hideous Aztek-like beast of burden. Man, if my camel were that ugly, I'd shave its humps and teach it to walk sideways. (Hey, maybe this is why I've been feeling like throwing up all evening?)

In the most objective opinion I can manage, it very much looks like Chrysler stole the show again.

If that new T-Bird was priced like the Cruiser Ford would need to build new factories to meet the demand.

  Fernstien...don't keep up with the news on the T-Bird do you? The first 200 were put for sale through the Neimus Marcus Christmas Catalog back in late October-early November.
With the special Niemus Marcus tags and brushed aluminum top,they were sold at $41,000.00 dollars a piece. Now here is the kicker....ALL 200 cars sold out in 2 hour and 15 minutes..giving it the worlds record for a specific model of car selling out with in a specific time.
In fact as a result along with watching the PT sales not being able to be met,Ford is playing it safe. The production line started up this month and will run through June before any are released to the public.
Good idea to build up a good buffer so when its time to deliver,they have them. THEY WILL SELL. Our local dealer's first year allocation is spoken for all ready.
I think it is time we welcome our T-Bird brothers and sisters to this game.
