MERCURY MESSENGER: This car is like a blast from the past, lol. We talked to a few Chevy lovers
 out there who seriously feel- and we agree in full- that this could be considered a modern Chevrolet
 Corvette in its' Sting Ray form. Though we don't dig the lines that keep crossing the headlight
 and taillight clusters, we are just in love with the look. Mercury has ceased production of the
 Cougar, which we thought was pretty different. We have the most peculiar feeling that Mercury
 will bring back the Cougar in 2-3 years with this model, hopefully under the same name.

 MITSUBISHI LANCER & ECLIPSE: This was a nice surprise- Mitsubishi brought in the two vehicles
 from the movie 2 Fast 2 Furious (see our Autos In The Media presentation of the film!) Each was
 really well designed and we send our congrats to whoever painted the Eclipse.

 PONTIAC GTO: With a design based loosely on Australia's Holden vehicle, the GTO should be a
 very interesting experiment, as we found not many women cared for it at the show (but then again,
 not that many men did either, lol). We LOVE the Grand Prix and wonder if this will have the smooth
 style and appeal to the masses as the former did. Wait and see...

 PORSCHE 911 & CAYENNE TURBO: Both are pretty cars, but we cannot understand paying the
 required $92,000 for a Cayenne Turbo! It's an SUV. Enough said.

 SAAB: This was the least visited display at the entire auto show. We feel bad for SAAB, especially
 since it could have- at the very least- copied some of Volvo's game plan to succeed in the
 automotive world. We give the company just 4 more years unless something good happens soon.

 TOYOTA // SCION: This wacky thing makes us suddenly want a Honda Element, lol. We're not
 saying we don't like shoeboxes with wheels, but you gotta' wonder about the popular excuse
 some people give for buying cartons with rubber circles attached: "This SUV is unique and I don't
 have to buy what everyone else buys!" Why couldn't they stop with the Aztek?- that's one too many.
