What is going on with NAIAS? It starts in 3 days. I can't find any info on what cars are rumored or anything.

Brad, are you going this year? Any special plans?

It's the Interceptor not Interloper.

Interloper, Interceptor... it'll be called the Falcon in a few years anyhow

crazyhorse

Well, I meant in regard to Mustangs and its competitors (Camaro, Challenger). By now we usually have a hint of Bullits and BOSSs and Mach 1s, Oh My!

Where is all that inside info the site is known for?

Camaro Vert
to be unveiled @ Detroit Show

GoFaster

Love the engine bay on that Lincoln concept.

I know the Camaro is stil at the concept stage and concept cars tend to be wild, but that dash is just awful. Must have been put together after looking at the super uggo Challenger concept dash.

Original Sin will be going to the presentation sunday @ 11:20am

Personally I think the dash in the camaro is great! and the shifter and such look fantastic. I like the toned down version in the vert. The coupe was too wacky on the coloring

Tony Alonso

If you go to CNBC.com right now, you can see the industry previews live. As of 10:30am EDT on Sunday, 7-Jan-2007, they have started up with DaimlerChrysler. Ford's preview starts at 12:15pm EDT.

UPDATE 10:49: "Swivel & Go" for '08 minivans - cool!

UPDATE 11:24: Chevy Silverado is NATOTY

UPDATE 11:28: Saturn Aura is NACOTY (good job, GM, especially over Toyota Camry)

UPDATE 12:26: '08 500, Interceptor Concept, Airstream Concept (fuel cell vehicle in a crossover shaped with Airstream "iconic" design language); more crossovers from Ford/Lincoln/Volvo/Mazda; '08 Focus (coupe and sedan); Sync (Ford-Microsoft designed hands-free and button operation of electronic devices, including voice-activated/text-to-speech capabilities) to be introduced on new Focus and other vehicles; MKR Concept' '08 F-Series Super Duty

UPDATE 12:59: Chevy Volt concept - electric vehicle with flexible fuel options; very nice, GM, in terms of breakthrough technology

Boomer

Wonder if Ford actually presents at that time... as the media presentation was suppose to be at 11;20

Tony Alonso

According to the schedule on CNBC, 11:20am is for the North American Car & Truck of the Year awards.

UPDATE: The broadcast at 12:15pm is tape delayed so its quite possible to be at that time going on now.

Well if the concept camaro becomes a reality close too that I will have to have one. Love it! Convertible all the way. I want to start my collection. So hopefully by 08-09-10 when it comes out I will have the mustang paid off. So many **** beautiful cars these days coming out.

Boomer

The 'SYNC' will be interesting in all the vehicles. Takes blue tooth to the next level...but can you say "Blue Oval of Death" (MS+Ford)

The "Ambient Lighting Package' was mentioned by Mark Fields....
which would bring to light (light..hahhhh) the package that Kev said would be in the 2008 Mustang.

IIRC the ambient lighting package would be lights in different area's and the ability to change the colours.... like MyColour to the Nth Degree.....
"ability to change the colour of the cup holder lights and under the dash etc.
Hopefully this will be allowing us to use my colour to change the lights not only in the dash but the whole IP...as well as around the car..

What's with Ford's sudden "hard-on" for vents on the side? They put them on the new Super Duty (but they are functional!) and now they put them on the Focus, 500, and now MKR concept. I guess we can expect stupid vents on the 09 Mustang! YIPEE! haha

Many vehicles were discussed in General Vehicle Discussion and Other Fords.
