Well spent the day with the family and we went looking at all the new cars being offered for 2008. Some interesting little tidbits this year included the Jeep Test Track, GM's Autoshow in Motion, Bumblebee, a C6 Corvette Convertible suspended from the roof by wire, and a Scion display of 12 different customized cars stacked three high above their display.
What I will note, is none of the cars had nicely detailed paint. Infact most were using wool dusters to clean car, and old rags with some no-name spray. Jaguar and Lexus had some deep rich coloring on paint and truly looked special.
The biggest thing in paint appears to be a new gold hued clearcoat that they all seem to be using especially GM. I was also amazed to see just how many ground effect kits Toyota is using which seems to have been a 90's tradition. Of course the teflon wax boys, and the lifetime tire gloss booths were in attendance. Nothing much else to note, other than most manufacturers have also done alway with the showgirls ... probably for the best.
