It's almost here, peeps. The auto show starts Monday. Some of its biggest reveals to come:
Honda Ridgeline. 
Rumored new Audi production model. BMW M2 and X4 M40i 
Ford, unknown, but probably a new Fusion and electric car. GMC is revealing a new SUV Lexus rumored to reveal the LC 500 Lincoln rumored to reveal the production version of the Continental 
Mercedes SLC roadster Updated Porsche 911 
Updated Volvo S90 
The Acura/Honda "Precision" concept... |

Hmm, I'll be flying to the D on Monday for work-related training. I was there last year and I thought the coolest thing was a Buick concept car. Don't recall its name and it'll probably never see production, but damn that was a beautiful car. There was a Mercedes concept car that was also pretty slick.
Cool, I forgot about the auto show, glad to know that option is available while I'm up there. |

The lines of the Buick look like a natural evolution of the '68 Riviera.
That is the first domestic sport coupe I've looked at for more than 10 seconds, and the longer I look the better I like it. If it comes to production and they don't screw it up I will give it a long close look. |
Lexus LC 500 looks a lot like the concept from a couple years ago

It will be replacing a 2013 Audi S4 that I'm leasing. Similar characteristics, MUCH cheaper price tag. Bigger backseat (which is needed since I'll be adding another baby seat in May  ).
edit - I'm pretty sure the 2.7L Ecoboost is a single turbo, isn't it? edit 2 - A quick google search confirms it's a twin turbo.

I can't get enough of the new Lincoln Continental.
Available 3.0L Twin Turbo V6, AWD... 
Adaptive cruise control is pretty awesome Exterior door handles are basically just buttons and located in the window trim Rear seats even recline with adjustable lumbar support and have their own heating/cooling controls.
