Chicago Auto Show pics

The show was decent this year not a whole lot to talk about. The Camaro concept was alright, the Challenger was even better in person. I found it funny that Chevy let us sit in the Z06, yet the SRT-C was locked

and they did not bring the SRT vert which I thought was interesting considering Dodge/Chrysler/Jeep probably had at least 60 cars there.

But what really got my attention was the new Civic. For $21,xxx you get sat nav, 16" alloy wheels, moon roof or sun roof which ever one has the tinted glass you can look through and an interior that trumps anything Ford, Dodge or Chevy has on the market.

My favorite livery of all time

I am normally not a fan of yellow cars but that one does not look to shabby

Damn good eye there Bioler!

Have you given up on the concept pics?

Nice pics Andy, thanks.

Wheels on the Challenger need to be "softened" up some. Too many hard edges and the style does not match the car.

Hate the wheels on the Viper, too ricer for me. And the stripes got to go.

The F430 is tits for sure.

those wheels are the only thing on the SRT-C I like. Finally something that is a little unique.

Then again I always liked the kelsey-hayes wheels in the 60's

I couldn't disagree more. They remind me too much of the Honda logo.

And where are the photos with the models in them?

The models are on my friends camera so I should have those soon, and the concepts were lacking this year. I will post the pics of the Reflex and the Super Chief, other than that the only others I took pics of are what I posted.

lol I never noticed that..... kind of appropriate for the SRT2000-Coupe tho.

Im not to sure what the Reflex is aimed at, but it looks interesting.

Now the Super Chief is on a platform that is about a foot and a half tall. My camera was probably 5'7" above the ground. This thing is HUGE.

What pisses me off about trucks anymore is all the manufactures trying to blur the line of what the truck is supposed to be used for. Since when does a family of four need to buy a pickup truck as a daily driver and not use it for its original purpose??? The Super Chief is cool but I just dont get it, a truck to me is something you beat the shit out of, you haul and tow with it, not cart your kids to soccer practice while they watch a dvd on the way.
