Well it seems that 2015 is the year of reinvention and rejuvenation.  This year it seems that some of the biggest players decided to showcase some of the new models in their concept form.  Yes concepts can be just fancy was of showcasing new models without making you aware that they are new models.  Sure you may think new EXP-10 or DBX models may be concepts, but Aston is working on a cross-trex / CUV model and Bentley does want a supercar.

       During the days of chrome and tail fins, the 1950’s had one other thing on this generation.  A need for the largest chrome grille on the market.  But as those days gave way to the 60’s, so did the need for large oversized front grilles.  Well that’s not to say that the 60’s didn’t have their fair share of oversize grilles, but they weren’t as prominent as they were during the 50’s.

    The darkness at 5:00am is great way to hide all of the ice which was created the night before by the freezing rain.  But that wasn't going to stop us from proceeding to CIAS this year.  And no if your wondering I did not fall on my ass on my way to my vehicle.  But I did come close.
    That morning I had set my alarm to wake me up at 4:30 to ensure I was up in time to make the 4.5hr trip to down to Hogtown.  Yes you may say I'm crazy for travelling 9 hours in one day for a show, but it's worth the day off work.

    Through the fog and light drizzle.  Past the high priced gas and Tim Horton's, brought us to gridlock and one of the most sophisticated toll roads in North America.  After which we decided to bypass the main 400 series highways and the QEW to bring us to beautiful Lakeshore Blvd.
   Which in turn brought us to the parking garage just under the Steam Whistle Brewery.  Yes we had finally made it after just over 4 hours of travelling, but in turn we would not be disappointed.

      It may seem that all not that long ago there lived an American car company who made people sit at the edge of their seats when they released a new model.  These days that same company gets no one to sit at the edge, hell they don't really get people sitting anymore.  Most of us these days don't really care about the 3rd American automotive brand Chrysler. 

      Found something odd while taking a look at the SEMA and Geneva auto shows.  It seems that Chevrolet is on a path to ruin Dodge's brand identity.  Why might you ask that we are saying this.  Well take a look at the new Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport and you may see the Dodge logo on the side of the hood.

      Seems that the Chinese maybe invading the home of FCA.  No it's not a political or commercial invasion, but an automotive design language which is invading the home of FCA.  This is now becoming apparent in their new models, as some of their past releases are 

    It may not be a world racing series, or even one which can be seen by anyone on their local network.  But when you consider that it is one of the biggest V8 racing series in Oceania area of the world, then you might reconsider your thoughts about this coming attack.  It seems that rival cars from Japan, Germany and the United States are making inroads into this series.  This might not seem like an attack, but when you consider that the Nissan Altima does not come with a V8 then it starts to look like one.
