Phx auto show (LAC! and LONG!)

[c dyer]

Just went to the Phoenix auto show w/family. I hate
those things (auto shows, not families...) Anyway,
best interior award goes to the audi a6
avant--everything just right, excellent materials, and
the seats were a amaretto (sp?) color. Just great. 2nd
prize went to the s4 cabriolet. Drool.

Best exterior color was on the new ondaH Si: dark,
burnt orange metallic. Sounds gross but it worked.
Honda kudos: they kept the batteries going sose y'all
can play with the nav/mp3/radio etc.

Not a lot of folks at the Suzuki booth.

Lincoln Zephyr, which is a tarted up Mazda 6, is
exactly that. But the execution of the tarting was
quite poor. $35k for that?! How 'bout a 1 yr. old 330i
or 3 yr. old s4 instead? Or a Mazda 6?

New passats are great, but just who are they competing
with?

Biggest denial: Buick Lucerne is actually good
looking. Also the Saturn Sky(?...its Solstace twin) is
great as well.

Obvious rant award goes to me: $9 for this?! And only
5 "concept" cars, all of which already appeared in
some magazine or another a year ago? Only 2 Jags?
Could more kids spill more sodas in more interiors?
Could more jugheads barf out more incorrect
information on more cars? Ex: "Yeah, those
hybrids...but you'd get electricuted. Where does it
plug in?"

Oy.
