2012 BMW 3 Series
Obviously, all the cars listed in our surprises and successes posts are cars we’re looking forward to driving, but there are a few others.
Scion showed off, for the first time on American soil, the FR-S Drifter. We like the drifter with it’s 600 hp, but we’re really excited to get the chance to take the FR-S out on the streets and maybe even to Texas Motorsport Ranch for a little track fun. Continue reading
2012 NAIAS FAILS
When you bring a concept car or a production car to a big show like the North American International Auto Show, you really want to make a statement with that car and get as much good press as possible. Sometimes it just doesn’t work out and these are the cars we think fall into that category. Continue reading

poor GT500
On a forum I subscribe to called dfwstangs.net I came across a thread posted by a member named 81redstang. He describes a car show that he was attending here in the DFW area and how a lady in a truck crashed into the car show at speed wrecking 4 cars in that show including a GT500.
Here is what he wrote.

Ok so lady in truck crashes through the car show tonight taking out 4 cars including a GT500, she was speeding off the freeway exit and nailed a truck then ricoched in at atleast 60mph. then she tried to drive off! Luckily she couldnt and was quickly relieved of her keys by show participants.
We are happy there was no injuries but sad about the cars. People work so hard and spend so much money to get their car into shape for these car shows, it’s just sad to see things like this happen.
