Default My first close encounter with an '02.

Went to the DC Auto Show yesterday. IMHO the '02 was a real standout. Loved the design. My wife said -I guess we're gonna have to get you one. That was nice of her, but I'm committed to hang on to mine for 2 or 3 more years. I'm still very happy with it.

Didn't pay much attention to other cars, except the following:

all the other Audis
Saab 9-5 Aero Sportwagon (cool in a take-your-own-road kinda way)
Honda Civic Hybrid (a real car v. the Insight)
Lexus ES300 (contender for wife's next)

Cadillac was strutting their new CTS, but it looks ridiculous IMHO.

Default That pic shows it well...

At the show, up on the turntable, I was getting an Aztek vibe from it. That rear end was tall & sitting high on the suspension. They should have put a few bags of cement in the trunk.

I do congratulate them for making a bold statement. Maybe I'll like it better after I've seen some on the road.

It's not that bad, but let's just give Caddy credit for at least TRYING to break their rut.

Default Just curious. Anyone like Aztek?

Every time I see it I cry. I just can't help it.

The Aztek and the Echo are the worst looking car to me
