On Sunday and Monday, 1/20-1/21, I went up to Detroit with some friends and hit the Auto Show. This was the first year without Porsche since I started going 7 or 8 years ago.
As usual, I really enjoyed the various concept cars. My favorites were the Mazda racer and the Audio R8. I really liked the Mini Cooper area and the new Clubman is pretty nice. I would love to get a Mini Cooper S Convertible or even a little Clubman. I miss my old Mazda Miata and the Mini Cooper S is the closest thing that can seat 3 to fit in the family.
If you're heading to the show, check out the DUB cars. They certainly have some interesting customs.
Overall, I was a bit disappointed with the Ford display this year. The Mustang Mirrors look extremely cheap and there was a bit of a cheap feel to them. on the opposite, the Mazda display was pretty cool with 2 very interesting concept cars. I think Lexus, Acura and Ferrari had the best looking Product Specialists!
Also, I entered some pictures in the annual NAIAS Photo Competition. If you want to check them out, here are the links:
