Chicago Auto Show - Nubblies.net Forums

Niger Angelus · 02-17-2003, 01:24 AM

this was a great way to spend a lazy Sunday afternoon. Nearly ever name in the automobile industry was here in full force. They busted out all of the new models for the next year, along with atleast one or two concepts for the near future.

Here are some personal hightlights:

The new Cadillac XLR; this is something Caddy has never produced. This is a hardtop covertable that is very comparable to the Mercedes SLK for a more reasonable price, and some more added luxery. The starting price is around 72,000 however.

BMW Alpina (z8); they changed the name, but that is about it. It is still one of the better roadsters out on the market. The specs and the extras on this car are jaw dropping, and the detail is unmatched my many domestics.

Pontiac g6; this car is just a concept, but has some promise to add to the boredom of the usual Pontiac. The performance is lacking with just 289 hp out of a turbo charged engine, but the styling is where it is at. It is a must see.

2004 Mustang GT; this is the whole reason I went to the show. This is the thing that made me cream all up in my pants. The engineers were going for a 64.4-67 Mustang style. They did just that, with a modern look. It delivers the same power that is expected, but more little features, and a more classy look. The downside, the usual mustang back seat.

And just to add in, Chevy has a concept truck that is called the Cheyenne. This thing has some great features. Here are a few: cup holders in the top of the tailgait for tailgaiting. A thermas that is large enough to hold 5 GALLONS of anytime of substance, i.e. ALCOHOL, and that is on both sides.

As for many of the other names...there wasnt a whole lot of new namely cars, however a car that stops me all the time is the Aston Martin V12 Vanquish. Yes that is one of my dream cars, also Bently had some cars, but I didnt get a chance to get into those, they wouldnt even let anyone touch them, so I was bummed on that account.

And here is a little sidenote, explorer was there, and who did I see as a rep? Good old Ross Kesler, Doesnt he have a job outside of the family yet?

Well that was the day, if anyone gets a chance to go to one of these, go.

Niger,

I commend you for attending the Detroit show. I'd like to go to one of em sometime, total badass. Furthermore, I'd just like to clear up your comment on the '04 mustang concept.

As I've heard, from Car and Driver, they interviewed the head of design and VP of Blue Oval Vehicle Programs, Philip Martens. As he said, the backseat is most likely to be extended to accomodate more comfort. Anyways, cant wait till 2004. Peace.

I believe Niger titled this thread "The Chicago Auto Show," yet Anky is commending him for attending the Detroit show. Does this make sense to anyone who does not live in a house made of adobe?

I really ejoyed the designs for the Mercury messenger even though they said it most likely wont be produced, and the chrysler crossfire, which is being produced this year.

The Cadillac Concept, "The Sixteen," is basically the coolect car that I've ever seen. I'd fuck it's tailpipe if given the chance.

Niger Angelus · 02-18-2003, 12:08 AM

Yeah, well you know, the new Caddy that is pictured, those trianlges that are split down there at the bottom, those are the exhaust, and there is a grill in front of it. And those dubs on the car, those are 24'' inches pimps!!

As for the 04 design of the Mustang, I happened to see it, like, hmm, from the inside and the seating in the back is still not all it could be...and it was in CHICAGO but it is ok.

Orgazmo -

I would like to thank you for posting those pictures for everyone's viewing pleasure. Once I saw those pictures, my pants immediatly became sticky. This was due to the fact that as soon as I viewed the pictures, I orgasmed in my pants. What an amazing fucking car.

Seriously, if I saw that car on the road when I was driving, I would end up dying because of my lack of ability to drive while going into convulsions of pleasure.
