Los Angeles auto show.. how depressing.

I have to say, NOTHING at the auto show really grabbed me.. rather depressing.

My wife is about due for a new car, we went looking to see what interested her. her last two vehicles were a 1997 Camry and a 2007 Camry Hybrid, since meeting and marrying me she has gone to tons of car shows and events, and has lost the "a car is a mode of transportation" mentality, and is genuinely interested in a vehicle that excites her and might be fun to own, drive, and even mod.

She really didn't find anything she liked, she felt the current line up of Toyota's (she has had two so of course this was where she looked first) were overly complicated and boring.

She is not much of a techy, and one of her biggest complaints on most vehicle is they are two busy with buttons and gizmos.

She likes the Camaro because overall it is simple, not a lot of gadgets, however she wants, and we need a sedan.

The only thing that kinda caught her eye was the new Impala, (as when we met I had a 2002 Impala LS) and the Audi A6 (out of our desired price range).

Other than that, even I was greatly disappointed at what I saw, I love the technology and gadgets and gizmos, but I found nothing that integrated them into an exciting car, the ones with the great toys had designs that were boring as hell (Lexus, Infinity, BMW, MBZ, etc) and the ones that had somewhat exciting designs, like the new Caddy's, Lincoln, Audi, Chrysler, were way behind on the technology and overpriced for the limited technology they do offer..

Very disappointing over all.

oh yeah, most of the concept cars were pretty cool though..
