Winner of the Show (in my humble opinion)
In retrospect I should have gotten up an hour earlier and paid an extra sixteen dollars to get in before the general public was herded in. What’s more annoying than a selfie stick? A family of five with a selfie stick at an auto show. Every friggin’ kid in the place had a smart phone (or worse, a tablet) shooting perpetually bad photos and videos that will end up on Facebook, Vine or Instagram, or whatever kids post their stuff to these days. And like in the good old days of auto shows, they can’t seem to keep their grimy hands off of the cars. The upside is that it keeps armies of fingerprint removers employed for a week.
The Mercedes Benz GT S – Pure Awesomeness!
Of course I don’t mean any of that – just a little venting after three days in NYC with its in-your-face humanity everywhere but your hotel room.
Can’t afford a BMW X5? – the XC 90 is a far better value – and a front runner for me!
I came here to get a look at the XC90, as I am looking for something that can pull a boat and climb off-road and get me through the snow. Do I need seven seats? Well likely not, but in theory, yes, maybe. The paint on this baby was a satin finish – something I have never seen before, and liked!
Ho Hum – Nothing New Here!
But really folks don’t come here to see the next Chevy Malibu. They want a glimpse of all those dream cars they can only dream about.
Ditto!
I’ve digested a bit more of New York, determining it is best to explore in small bits. Street level is fine, but to live in NYC you need a room with a view – and that ain’t cheap – so I tell my sweetheart.
All said, my perfect dream car is still the BMW M3 and this color is perfect! I’ll take delivery in Germany!
