Besides a Mazdaspeed version of its Mazda6 midsizer, Mazda did not offer many new products this year.  However, their Motif crossover vehicle was a gem - similar in size and shape to the Nissan Murano and Volkswagen Touareg but more refined and with smoother lines.

Mazda's New Crossover shines.

Saab's contribution to the show this year was a 9-3 wagon-hatch vehicle, as well as its continuing 9-3 line.  In addition, the Trailblazer-clone 9-7X and "Saabaru" 9-2X were shown.  However, Saab showed off a genuine Saab's goodness in its 9-3 safety demonstration, which came in the form of the actual 9-3 used in government crash tests.

Saab's legendary safety is demonstrated - notice no interior damage!

On GM's domestic front, Cadillac wowed attendees with some of it's Caddilacs Under 5!  The new DTS ultra-luxury vehicle was also on display - and carries on from the design of the "First Car" that serves as President Bush's official limo.

Chevy showed off the new Cobalt SS, complete with tacky ricer wing.  If you're able to delete the wing, it's a pretty attractive little car!

The air show is next month, guys!

Honda displayed its traditional vehicles, as well as the hybrid Civic and Accord editions.  The Acura division featured a display of its RDX crossover.

Not too bad, but VW and Mazda both seem to have beat Acura in sleekness!
