2009 Detroit Auto Show Recap

Inauguration? Anyways, today is the last day, day three of the oh so important Detroit auto show, and I thought it only imperative that I recap the important details of the show. Below are my favorite four cars:



Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Stirling Moss

Top speed of 217.5-mph, only 75 will be built, and a price tag of 750,000 euros (that’s over a million bucks) it's a car to demand attention. But don't go running out to your local Benz dealer, because a. it won’t be available in the United States, and b. only current SLR owners will be considered. So if you get one, call me.

Fisker Karma S

All you tree huggers will be happy with this pick, eco friendly, and aptly named- Karma. When the Karma goes on sale in November for $87,900, it will be the first mass-produced plug-in electric vehicle sold in the United States. It will accelerate from zero to 60 mph in 5.8 seconds and have a top speed of 125 mph.

Bentley GTC
The sexy ass Bentley GTC goes from 0 to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds. Plus, it has a top speed of 200 mph with the top up and 195 mph with the top down. Might want to wear a scarf with that one.






And my lover, I mean favorite car, the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4. 'Nough said.
