Import Queen and I will be there.  Anyone from out of town who wants to come along is welcome.  We have a good air mattress and a sofa bed is anyone needs a place to stay if funds are tight.

I see a lot of the Lamborghini Estoque in the rear end...not a bad thing!

Let me look at the photos before someone tells me the Audi will be auto only...

The Chrysler 200C is EXACTLY what the new Sebring should have been.

That's nice and clean!

Why do the "domestics" seem to have so much space between the top of the tire and the fender lip?  It makes them look dorky.  I was told is was due to some requirement that there's enough room for snow chains. Thinker

Wing, would you please be able to take more pictures of the Chrysler 200C concept? Thanks.

It seems like a very nice design. Just dream for a second: Nissan buys Chrysler and gives life to this concept with a good platform, sweet 3.5L V6 and nice interior.... Back to reality now.... it will never turn into a production vehicle. Bang

Isn't ugliness part of the Subaru's "character"? This concept doesn’t show any change in that direction so it’s business as usual at Subaru.
