I live in PA, so I was considering going to the NY show, but since I've already been to Detroit this year, it didn't seem like there would be anything all that exciting...sounds like I didn't miss too much new-car wise other than the Flex.

Did you see the new Subaru Imprezza? How's it look in person? Also, any thoughts on the new Jeep Liberty? The photos of the Liberty haven't impressed me so far, though I just read today on Automotive News that it actually is a little different from the Dodge Nitro - the Nitro supposedly has a longer wheelbase, so I'm assuming they don't share any body panels, but are probably almost identical under the skin.
I did take pics, but unfortunately the internet is down in my building (I am at work now). They are formatted and ready to be uploaded once the internet gets back up. You definitely didn't miss much, I am glad you saved your money.

The Imprezza looks just like the pictures, it's kinda boring, and I am really not impressed with it's stance, I prefer the older proportions better. I really hate the uninspired front end too. I guess that's what you get when your new parent company is Toyota.

The Liberty I must say looks much better in person. If there is orginial sheetmetal on it versus the Nitro I couldn't tell because they looks the same from the sides right down to the wheel arches. It looks much better than the Nitro, IMHO. They look similar enough.
