New Cars from Chicago Auto Show. Lots of Pics.

Mitsu Lancer RalliArt - an MP3 wanna be, with a new 2.4L four-banger and about 160 bhp!



New Chevy Aveo micro car (made by Daewoo) - and you thought that Metro would never be replaced!


Though Chevy did supercharge Monte Carlo SS and Impala SS



Who ever thought that Suzuki would have a full line-up of cars?
Suzuki Forenza

and Suzuki Verona

On a good note, there is an anniversary Rabbit GTI, not Golf.



And thats it for now. There should be more.

I'd take the Golf GTI any day, and the new Lancer looks good to me. No idea about it's specs, but hell I'd take it.

I think the Lancer looks like a new sunfire at the angle in the first pic... At least the grill does... puke puke puke ugly.

It's cool that GM is strapping the SCs on their engines, but the 3.8l is a dinosaur of an engine, and they haven't even topped Nissan's 3.5l VQ engine that's NA in terms of HP. I think the GTP (one of the first modern GMs that they SCed) were about 230hp stock or something where a new maxima, altima, and 350z (share engine platform) all make more than that NA with .3 less liters of displacement... At least they're trying I guess, hehe...

That GTI is gorgeous by the way, I've always had a soft-spot in my heart for those GTIs

Thumbs up Rabbit!

The Rabbit! Alright!! Even if it's just in name, it's cool to see VW bringing that back. For its time the original Rabbit, the diesel version, was actually a reasonably good car. The gasoline version might have been quick and fun, but it sure as hell wasn't reliable...

I expect the new "Rabbit" to follow suit in typical VW mediocrity.

That said, I consider VW interior design the best in the industry-- The interior of the GTI looks awesome!

I thought the same when I first glanced at it. It think looks alright, but I wouldn't buy it.

Those are not the pics from the Chicago. They are the pics of New Models and Concpets that have been introduced this year. All those cars pictured there have already been unvieled at Detroit in January. Here is a link to the Chicago coverage by Autoweek.com. Peace.
