I don’t care if it’s karts, open lap day, rally instruction, etc. If you go to the show pick up one of their brochures.** I was at the autoshow last night… it was ok… after SEMA these shows are hella small… 1st let me say that Mercedez Benz just took the cake at that show. There cars are just unreal… there was a new E320 4matic there up on a lil platform, I sat in it anyways and it was just unreal… I think the sticker was like $53K which was cheap compared to the other cars, the S430 was 79K, the SL500 was 95K… I thought the E class was really nice for the price, if we didnt have the roads around here like we do I would get that instead of a new denali. - as far as GM interiors are concerned… I really like them compared to Ford and others. Oviously the imports / Mercedez Benz / BMW have the nice interiors, but GM’s bigger line has 1st class interior… go check out the new escalade / denali interior and the seats… I thought they were one of the most comfortable there (besides the S class). - VW’s were awsome at the show… the interior of the new A4 really didnt impress me like that kids did at WOW with the silver a4. The Pheaton looks pretty cool, but car and driver rated it like 2nd or 3rd to last on their luxury car shootout (75K-89K). All in all VW has got a nice line up going except the bug which IMO is a POS. all in all it was a pretty cool show ---

> _Originally posted by Cutty_ > **The elise looked really shitty, its way to small.** Jesus Christ… Redneck alert… The whole fucking PHILOSOPHY of the Elise is to have the most light, small, nimble package possible. That’s why an Elise with a 2.2L engine kills most production cars! It only weighs one ton. ---

I went last night. Wasn’t too impressed. There were some cool cars there though. It’s funny to see people ooh and aah over cars you see every day. But anyway, I would die for an Elise. I’ve been waiting for years for them to bring it over. About the 2.2, you should see what Opel can do with one of those. Light and fast, tis a great combination. ---
