Thumbs up new cars I have seen on the road!

living here in Orlando I have seen a few of the new cars..

Red SSR..sweet looking truck..first one on the road I have seen, again awsome looking but looks dated..since we have seen it about what 4 years now??

300C the lower price version I beleive..nice look, very boxy and almost mafia looking..was grey and little trim, nice rims though. Very pronounced when sitting in the parking lot..the only hood that stuck out over the other cars...
looks nice if it was the higher priced 300C it would look great!!!

BLACK XLR going down the highway on the oposite side!
stood out a mile away, though it was a CTS till it came out from under the shadow of the bridge and I saw the top down and said WOW an XLR!!! has a big presence when going down the road...

also alot of Pacifica's..they must be selling well now??

new Nissan Titan..with a dent already in it..it looks cool..I guess..

and last a PT TURBO convert. BLAHHH looks terrible...

yet to see a GTO or CTS V..but I am looking !! nice cars comming out of Detroit!!!

Saw a 300C last week. I like the car but I still think that grill is massive. I've seen 3 Colorados, 1 Canyon and keep seeing that 05 Stang running around with the cammo. I still have yet to see a GTO on the road along with an Equinox. I'm still suprised how few Colorados I'm seeing, especially since that truck is so awesome.

Orlando baby! Seen a couple XLR's and SSR's on the road and my roommate saw a 300C the other day. SSR looks really good out on the road, really stands out.

I saw a 300C a couple of days ago as well as my first Equinox. Both are attractive vehicles...

I've only seen 1 GTO, 1 CTS-v, a couple of Crossfires and two SSRs on the road. I see very few Pacificas and haven't seen a Magnum or an XLR yet.

Colorado/Canyons are everywhere as are Titans (this is Tejas, they like their trucks ) I see RX-8s daily. Oddly though, I've yet to see a 6 series (are they even on sale yet?) as I live in what seems like import-ville as '03/04 MB SL500/AMG 55s are a daily sighting and 3 series are about as common as Accords in my neighborhood.

I saw an F40 a couple of weeks ago... Saw a red Enzo a couple of months ago as well as a white Countach...

These yuppies, I swear...

New cars i've seen.

SSR - does nothing for me.

Silverado SS - Are these even selling anymore? I haven't seen one in a month it seems.

Rx8 - Some odd lines, but an attractive car nonetheless. Like the SS, this one is also quite rare.

Titan - Some what ugly, but a good 1st attempt by Nissan.

XLR - 1 word, "Sexy".

911 turbo, and 2 GT2's - all guards red and following each other. I almost nutted my pants. Driven by guys in business suits (friends??).

F-150 - Top notch. I just wish it didn't gain so much weight.

Colorado Z71- Neat little truck. Love the new I-5 motor.

Up here in Monterey-Santa Cruz where BMWs & Mercs are a dime a dozen, Chrysler is making a major impact. It almost seems every 10th mini van is a Pacifica, and seeing a Crossfire is a daily occurence.

Before I moved out of Southern California (kinda) I did see 2 GTOs on the street and at least 1 CTSv. Ironically, I haven't seen any up this way yet (2 months here).

Thumbs up

I saw a white Equinox yesterday afternoon.

Very sharp. The crossbar looked, for some reason, great.

Newest vehicles at the local GM dealer:

SSR (silver,yellow)
GTO (They had a yellow one, now a red one)
Equinox (black)
XLR (silver, and freaking awesome!)

The only other XLR I've seen was a dark red one on I-65 near Bowling Green back in September of 2003. I could be wrong, but I didn't think they were available then.
