Default New Muscle at the Auto Show

The IX Center at Cleveland Hopkins Airport was originally a B-24 Liberator bomber plant during WWII. It became a Tank plant following WWII. I also went to the Auto? Show this year. Highly disappointed. It should be renamed the SUV or Crossover or Pickup Truck Show in the future. Very few cars there, with the exception of the Imports that will be taking over that sector of the industry. Bye,Bye GM, Ford, & Chrysler! The foreign companies would not be tooling up for autos if they were not viable. I predict the foreign manufacturers will start building larger cars to fill the void and needs of some people.

Rich: No, I did not see the 100K Lincoln Navigator. I did however see a LOT of overpriced vehicles, though. Who can afford these? I paid 110K for my house in Westlake with a 25 yr. mortgage payment. Is that's what it's coming to for a vehicle purchase? SHEESE! Don.

In Detroit a year or two ago, they had that expensive Lincoln in a plush room, was that one the same? During Press it was a pretty cool room.

Challenger is great if you like a fat/heavy car that's only fast in a straight line. Camaros of any comparable trim will run circles around one.

I like the inside dimensions of the Challenger and the room it offers but as a former owner of one, I can confidently say that it's a pile of shit compared to the 6th gen Camaros.
