NAIAS '09: Ford Accord, or is it the Honda Taurus?

Welcome back Taurus. I have a soft spot for this car since it’s the car my dad owned until I crashed it. My problem with it and the new VW CC is they look like other cars. The CC looks like an Accord from the front and the side and tails off like a CLS. And the back looks like a Hyundai. No bueno. The Taurus on the other hand looks like has eyes like a Honda reject, but everythin else looks good. But the toys they added with it quickly make me realize that this isn’t daddy’s Taurus. “Under the hood, it’ll have a carryover 250-horsepower 3.5-liter V6. Ford’s EcoBoost turbocharged 355-horsepower 3.5-liter V6 will also be available, but not initially. Buyers will be impressed by the options list, which includes massaging seats, push-button starting, adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning, blind-spot warning and cross traffic alert.” (MSN auto). Kinda excited for it.

NAIAS '09:Sex On Wheels

I didn’t know where to throw in the new Audi R8. But the rims are dead sexy. I’ll throw in some Lam-bimbos and a few other rides.

NAIAS '09:"Red" line

So let me get this straight. We been borrowing heavy from the Chinese. The Chinese own $1 for every $10 of American debt. AND they are makin cars? And Communism is a bad idea? Hmmmm. Lol. I’m not tryin to get ‘red flagged’ but seriously, I’m the type of person that says what may not work for me, may work for you so I can’t knock it. That’s how I feel about Communism. It won’t work for the greedy muthafuckin Americans, but for those “humble” Chinese, it’s the meal ticket. Now I know people are gonna blah blah blah about the millions of poor people in China…like America doesn’t have millions of poor people. ANYWAYS. Brilliance Auto and BYD are two big boys in China that are workin with American dealerships to start sellin their cars stateside. Makes you realllly wonder…is Communism gonna have the last laugh? Not really according to the guys on Top Gear. The point they made was that every car made by Communism was a piece of shit. But these cars don’t look like the ones that came outta cold Russia.

NAIAS '09:Last of a dying breed

Anyone that knows me knows that I would sell my step daughter for an SLR McLaren (hmmmm, maybe that’s how I’ll stick it to Frenchie). Mercedes is making the last of them this year, with the last one to leave the lot in ’10. Sad, pure sadness. And Mercedes decided to finish off with an ultra rare (75 being built, only being sold to current SLR owners that don’t live in the U.S.) SLR McLaren Stirling Moss Edition. There is some heritage behind this one of course, the namesake “legendary British racer Stirling Moss, who in 1955 set a speed record by driving an equally legendary Mercedes 300 SLR to victory in the Italian Mille Miglia, a thousand-mile cross-country race so grueling and dangerous that it was banned after a fatal crash in 1957 that killed two participants and 11 spectators.” (MSN autos). Ah fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck. Fuck. Keep the SM edition; will someone PLEASE get me the regular version of the SLR? But this one is a beauty too, no doubt, I just don’t wanna get attached.
