NY Auto Show 2009 Pics -- 56K Supurdeth April 12, 2009, 03:35:25 PM Didn't take too many as my time was limited....I will say this. As far as the overall show experience was concerned, I was disappointed. You can tell the economy is in the shiznitter. Many of the displays were subdued and reserved compared to previous years. Quite an emphasis on MPG this year, more so than in the past. The new Mustang unveiling was probably the most extravagant thing at the show and even that was low key compared to previous unveilings....There was a 2010 Mustang display outside the main entrance that attracted a lot of attention and unfortunately getting decent pics was a futile venture. Here's what I DID manage to get...I've decided if I DO buy this body style it will be a GT500.... I like the front end MUCH more than the stock GT...Know thine enemy: Some pictures of the new Genesis Coupe. While I was looking at it I heard the dumbest conversation between a guy who was about my age (32 years old) and his father.Father: Guess they couldn't fit that V8 in there, huh....Son: They didn't need to; it's turbochargedFather: No it's not.Son: Yes it is. How do you think they got 300 Hp from aV6?Me: *Shakes head at both of them....Walks away...*FWIW, that car got a LOT of attention....New Corvette ZR1....Dig the price tag...Taurus SHOAnd some other assorted stuff.My daughter likes cars on turntables, lol!

NY Auto Show 2009 Pics -- 56K Supurdeth Reply #2 – April 12, 2009, 06:21:58 PM I do have to say the more I see the 2010 Stang the more I want one. I also have to say I want a 2010 SHO like there is no other car on the planet! Makes me wish I could afford to go to the Chicago Auto Show this year. Quote Selected
NY Auto Show 2009 Pics -- 56K Supurdeth Reply #3 – April 12, 2009, 06:40:12 PM AWD Twin-Turbo Direct Injected V6 SHO Taurus.....it's time to trade in the 06 GTO with 12K miles for a family car.....I feel my primal instinct to multiply sliding into high gear.....like a 6 speed gearbox.Demon, what was the list price for a SHO? Did they have a window sticker in them with a price? Quote Selected

NY Auto Show 2009 Pics -- 56K Supurdeth Reply #8 – April 13, 2009, 05:35:19 AM bleh.. i heard a guy that was at the very first booth the lil hyundai RWD car (yellow hyundai ^^) and he said that car was targeted at people in their 20's, like performance, RWD, etc etc. to paraphrase him, he was basically saying that this car is riding the RWD drifting bandwagon. the demand for rwd drivers have become mainstream, and its making more sense to a lot more people that FWD was designed for economy, is a huge performance handicap, and in the long run unpractical for any real performance philosphy.the reason they didnt put a v8 in that little hyundai? the same reason they didnt put a v8 in the solstice. i think its funny thought that if its fast.. its got a boost of some kind. i wish people knew what N/A is like before they wanna add nitrous or turbo/charger. im with the OP -facepalm- walks away from the son and father..
