The Chicago Auto Show just wrapped up early this month. It was as busy as usual, but it was missing some cars I really wanted to see. The Mini Crossman, VW NMS, and Infiniti Essence are examples of cars I wanted to see, but none of them made it to Chicago. There were still lots of nice cars, but only a few concept cars that were exciting. You can see all of my pictures from the show here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Fisker Sunset was probably my favorite, not that the Karma was bad or anything. This hybrid sports car has amazing presence, a competitive price, and car run on only electricity.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

It was nice to see the Evora in person, but it not as radical as the other Lotus cars on sale today. The Evora was built as a more grown up and practical car, so it has more conservative styling.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

I really liked the looks of the Cadillac XTS Platinum Concept. The only let-down was the FWD-based configuration. This large Caddy is a great looking plug-in hybrid. It would be a great car, but a risky move on GM’s part.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

The Mercedes SLS AMG was a disappointment as far as looks. It is such a goofy looking car. The lines just look all wrong on this car.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

These are some other ones I thought were pretty cool.<\/p>\n
