MSN has a nice rundown of what is being introduced in Detroit this week. Yeah, the Shelby GR-1 is kinda cool...but on the heels of the GT, I think it's a stupid concept while everyone else is actually introducing showroom models. There are some nice streaming videos in this link, be sure to watch J Mays stumble through having nothing of any value to introduce....click the pic...

And the new SYN US concept ???? Could make many word plays on that one. It would be a "sin" to put this one into production. Or maybe it is pronounced "sinus" as in -- this really stinks. :rofl: Anyone else think they are getting their designers from the Sunbeam Toaster company??

Ha ha ha, that was a hilarious link, Todd, thanks for sharing.

Now where's the REAL link to this year's Detroit Auto Show?

Todd - Nice video's. Thanks. IMO if FMC advertised the Marauder like the new 500 there would have been more than the 11K produced.

Is it just me or does this year's auto show seem devoid of any really cool concept cars? At least it seems like most of the mfgr.'s have some really cool product that is actually going to hit the street. BTW, did y'all notice the Impala now has a V-8 with 300 horse. Unfortunately it's still FWD but I'm still gonna think twice before messing with one.

All I can think of when I see Ford's offerings is "McFly...McFly!" It's most unfortunate the only Ford I aspire to own at this time is a '93 notch 5.0 LX Stang. Someone get this company back on track please.

Honda comes out with that turdbox 'Excrement', then our eyes are assaulted by the Scion XB sh$tbox, and NOW FORD copies them with that rolling abortion 'SYN' US??? :puke:
