Check out the hood ornament.

I saw this car at the Pioneer Auto Show in Murdo, SD a few years back. It has sliding doors.
It debuted at the Chicago auto show half a century ago.

Inside of the Nissan NV van.

Toyota’s version of the Subaru BRZ, called the Scion FRS. These are all terrible model names.

The Scion IQ. Can you believe this seats four?

They tried to make the interior interesting.

They can’t be serious.

That head unit looked like it was yanked off the shelf from K-Mart.

Mini. I already saw them at the Phoenix show last year.

Spacious back seat in the Passat.

Nice sheetmetal too.

The Jetta isn’t so nice. The pictures don’t show the nasty plastic casting flash and hollow sounding materials.

wpid-P1100090-2012-02-19-06-42.jpg
The Jetta looks okay enough.

I was exhausted. We sat down by the stairs and waited for the rest of our group.

Hot girl in a short skirt walked by twice. She lucked out and missed my picture each time.
