The show, as always, was amazing. Having it on one floor really helps. Very slick presentations.

The Jetta was such a disappointment. Looks like a Camry. A little Jetta style inside and from the back/rear, but VW have succumbed to the dreaded 'market forces, which suggested more rear leg room...ugh!

The Aston Martin area was :eek:

This is one company (Volvo and Saab to a lesser degree) where corporate ownership of a boutique company has worked brilliantly. Ford is letting AM have its head...the results are spectacular. Design is second to none, reliability is now much better, dealer help is there, and performance (at least of the Vanquish S) is bordering Ferrari leagues.
