I went to the LA Auto Show late Friday afternoon, and it was free from crowds. I'll post more observations and pictures tomorrow. The show was smaller this year, with lots of no-shows. Pontiac and Saturn are gone, obviously, and there was no Hummer. Nissan and Infiniti seem to be sitting out all car shows. They were not at the San Francisco Auto Show last week. How much money can they be saving by sitting out the auto shows in the country's biggest markets? Are the local dealers ok with this? Or maybe there's a lack of new product this year, so they didn't want to bother? I always looked forward to Maserati, and it's amazing that Ferrari and Bentley weren't there.

In pictures, the Cruze has a lot of fussy details on the outside. It looks like a Korean Chevy, which it is. I'll have to see it in person before making final judgment. The Cobalt, while not exactly refined, continues to be good-looking. The interior looks very good.

I love these old Blazer Chalets by Chinook. This is a great find, really low miles and in excellent condition.

I kind of like the Packard version. Not digging the supercharged Kermit edition.

Pintos were best known were exploding when rear-ended. Shades of Crown Victoria. They fixed it in later years. Pintos garnered about as much respect as Vegas.
