Well if we are talking about Harry, he can just keep it in his own mouth.

NYIAS: 2009 Ford Flex
Oh I totally forgot about that part. They showed us that at the Ford preview and it is interesting! The deal with that is *non-disclosure agreement* and then it just *non-disclosure agreement* Meh....well....it is very cool anyway. You'll like it.

Ode to the better half of CD/BP

Hyundai Pickup Truck May Be in the Pipeline
This isn't really new news. Hyundai/Kia have been talking about a unibody pickup for at least 2 years. It's one of those on again/off again programs. Some time in early 2006 there was supposed to be a meeting to decide the program's fate. I never heard the outcome. Wouldn't surprise me if they are still on the fence about it. They aren't the only ones thinking about unibody pickups...

NYIAS: 2009 Ford Flex
Well they haven't hit anything just yet. The Flex does not going into production until March of 2008. Assuming there are no problems between now and then. I know Ford needed some good news out there ASAP, but still, no on can buy it for a year.

What are your summer plans?
Hahah OK I didn't mean you would get along THAT well. Just in a non-sexual, clothing optional sort of way.

NYIAS First Day Buzz
One other thing....the Beat is only working car of the 3. The other 2 are just fiberglass shells. Like the red Camaro concept some of you have seen.

NYIAS: Mercedes CLK 63 AMG Black
CLK 63 AMG Black Series: Formula One Technology for the Road New York, Apr 04, 2007 From motor sport to pure culture: The new CLK 63 AMG Black Series based on the Official F1™ Safety Car – the high-performance AMG vehicle that has been providing Formula One safety since 2006. The coupe, optimized for the racing circuit, is powered by an AMG 6.3-liter V8 with its performance boosted to 373 kW/507 hp and 630 Newton meters of torque. Top-rank handling is assured by the sophisticated AMG threaded suspension with 19-inch AMG forged wheels, new steering and the generously dimensioned AMG high-performance brake system with its composite disks. Visually, too, the CLK 63 AMG Black Series clearly shows its descent from the Official F1™ Safety Car: its striking front apron with large cooling intakes, flared wheel arches, diffusor-type rear apron and carbon-fiber airflow breakaway edge, all demonstrate the car’s sporting and pur sang pedigree. The new CLK 63 AMG Black Series is technically and visually oriented towards the Official F1™ Safety Car and thus addresses all sports-car enthusiasts who value high competitiveness. An output upgraded by 19 kW/26 hp accelerates the CLK 63 AMG Black Series from zero to 100 km/h in 4.3 seconds – thus 0.3 seconds faster than the standard model with 354 kW/481 hp. The top speed (electronically limited) is 300 km/h. Mercedes-AMG engineers achieved the increase in power to 373 kW/507 hp by completely redesigning the intake and exhaust systems. The high-revving, naturally-aspirated AMG engine, with its 6208 cc displacement, gets its fresh air via larger-dimensioned intake ducts. The new AMG sports exhaust system with full-length twin pipes stands out with its unmistakable, pleasant AMG V8 sound. Together with a newly calibrated engine control unit, these measures ensure not only efficient load change behavior, but also let this eight-cylinder unit respond to the accelerator with even greater alacrity.

GM @ NYIAS
I just realized, the only GM press conference for NYIAS was this morning. That means we've seen all we're going to get. No Cobalt MCE, HHR SS or 9-3 MCE. I would guess you can expect a seperate debut event, maybe at the Milford Proving Grounds, for some of those 3 this summer. So the 6 production vehicles were: : LaCrosse Super, Lacrosse MCE, Lucerne Super, H2 MCE, H3 Alpha and STS MCE.

So Jeep debuted the Liberty outside....unfortunately it was raining. Haha I thought the umbrella coming out of the open roof was kinda funny.

NYIAS: Chevy Trax, Beat and Groove
Well I didn't ask him what was said at the press conference. However, if GM wasn't seriously thinking about cars like these for the NA market somewhere down the road, then they probably would NOT have shown them in NYC. If these were meant to be cars for other markets, they probably would've debuted them at the upcoming Korea show.
