We know that Scion has been experiencing a bit of a slump lately. So when we saw them in New York we were hoping to see something brilliant that would blow our minds and get us excited about what is to come. When we saw the concept that they had on display our minds were definitely blown away – but not in the good way.
Shelby and Ford are excited about celebrating the 40th anniversary with the production of the Shelby GT500KR that has the power to produce 540 horsepower. Ford was able to express this excitement at the New York Auto Show. Only a limited amount of these special cars were to be made – but it seems that plans have changed.
Ford seemed to keep things low key for most of the day at the New York Auto Show. They showed off their Transit Connect Taxi concept – which was the highlight of their show. While we were impressed with this concept we were looking for something that would attract and grab our attention.
There was a bit of skepticism when Jesse Vigil decorated his 2007 Ford Mustang like a police car. He painted it black and white, had the words ‘police’ on the side of the doors, and placed an emergency bar on the top of the car.
Renault decided to make things a bit mysterious for us at the 2008 Geneva Auto Show. They told us that they would be showing off four new models. The Koleos, Laguna GT, and Twingo RS were three of the models that they revealed but when it came to revealing the fourth one they chose not to.
