As you can see the website  is going through a bit of an update.  Please bare with us, the auto show is stalling the progress.  We are still digesting all of the unveilings from this years show.  There certainly isn’t a lot of new product (as expected), but what showed up is some real quality work.  We will bring you design reviews on our favorites throughout the coming weeks.

For now we want to share with you some of our favorites with quick thoughts on them.

Cadillac Converj

This Caddy is one hot piece of ass, bringing back in your face American Styling with a fuel sipper attitude.  Who says these new efficint cars have to look like a vanilla Prius?  With this car being based off of the Volt, it makes you wonder what happened to the Volt.  Did they try to hard to reinterpret the Volt Concept theme?  Perhaps they should have abandoned it and started fresh.  Sorry for all the questions, but could this be the new Caddilac CTS Coupe?  I hope they don’t ruin it and make it a 4 door.

Audi Sportback

Audi does it again.  A clean simple car with all the elegance and attitude you could want.  Thank you for reinventing headlights, more on that to come.

Lincoln C Concept

Wow, where did this come from?  I am glad we had one big surprise for the show.  Could Lincoln take such a risk?  The past concept cars made it into production in one form or another.  This is a really interesting statement from Lincoln.

Volvo S60

The 4 door sedans are back and taking over.  The surfaces look a bit busy, but that could be due to the flop of the paint exagerating the forms.  I feel this is a bit extreme for Volvo but I am sure it will tone down in production.

Kia Soul’ster

Watch out Mini, there is a new, fun small car in town, and a lot cheaper.  Could this take over the 2 door (enlarged) Wrangler buyers.  The fun of a Wrangler for the street.  This could be Kia’s breakthrough vehicle.

VW Bluesport Concept

I am a huge fan of VW, owning 2 myself, but this is getting a little too close to Audi Design in particular the TT.  That aside this is a hot little roadster.  Bring it out and price it againt the Solstice/ Miata.

Those are some of our favorites and we will go more in depth as time goes on.  What are some of your favorites?
