Default Pics from the NYIAS 4/18/09

I had an opportunity to attend the Autoshow yesterday in NYC. There were not as many concept cars as last year but I was pleased with many of the upcoming and present models being offered by the various auto makers.. GM impressed me with there 2010/2011 line up of cars.. The Chevy Cruze (pictured below in plum) has a Euro look to it with the roof fin & Audi A4 like sheet metal. The new Buick Lacrosse really looks fantastic in person & make the ES & GS look like the Olsen twins Enough of the typing.. Here are some pics from the show with more to come..

Thanks for the pictures dashocker

The chevy looks good but are they serious? They basically ripped off the new 7 rear end, from the tail light to that long chrome trunk piece

the fisker looks like a big european shoe or moccasin.

and the buick looks uglier than i thought. it may try to bite the 3GS, but still can't touch it. It just looks odd and ugly compared to our cars.

Awh man, I was there yesterday as well. You must have been there in the morning or evening. It was CRAZY packed when I was there.

I totally did not see the Fisker and I'm pretty pissed about that.

I thought the new Lacrosse was awesome. As is the Taurus SHO, Scion IQ and SL65 AMG Black Series.

I'm glad to hear that a couple of you guys agree that the new LaCrosse is a looker. I just happened to walk by the Buick display on my way out of the Chicago show and thought, whoa what is that. Very nice looking car in person. I hope it does well for them, but it might be a tough sell to get it to appeal to a wider audience than other Buicks.
