I just thought I'd share this little video I made for another project of mine (Brotherhood 2.0). It gives a quick, fast, dirty, and extremely low-production-value overview of the Los Angeles Auto Show. Hopefully you'll find that it's interesting. It's currently top rated for today on YouTube's automotive section...so I must've done something right :-). Oh...and you can ignore the part at the end where I get Tased.

Audi Metroproject??

Hank, I didn't see the Audi Metroproject in your video.. I'm guessing this means that Audi decided not to include it in the showcase, since it hasn't been confirmed as a US model.. If this is so, my girlfriend is going to be so upset..

Didn't see the Metroproject concept at the show...I'm not sure if they're aiming for a US release of the car at a all, and at this stage, I think it's still a pure concept. But I love the concept, and we're hoping to hear news about a production model any day now...not that I'd be able to afford one.

Oh man, that's pretty disappointing. I'm not sure if I'll go now. I'm not really interested in Tahoe hybrids. I heard that there is hope that the A1 platform will be available in the US, and hopefully the hybrid will tag along.
Hank, I thought you might be interested

I wonder what the ecogeeks think about the end of that video.

Q: What is it about spotting the Hummer on tiny city streets that always makes one wonder if it can withstand a direct grenade hit?
Violence is never the answer, but it does sometimes inspire the question.

Alaska is America you Geek. You could call the lower 48, well
the lower 48 which is what I think you meant.
So when can we expect the Chevy Volt
written by Rodger , November 20, 2007
I watched your video on Brotherhood 2.0. You said that the Volt had gone AWOL from the LA car expo you were attending. Do you have any indication of it's release date?

Why is your head blocking the camera view..?
Car manufacturers need to.....
written by zupakomputer , November 23, 2007
....stop making such short-lifespan disposable vehicles. A car should be something you buy and expect to last for a good long time. It's shocking the amount of people that go along with the industry, and actually expect to just trade-in their car after a couple of years. A car has all-replaceable-parts.
Yet the depreciation on a new or few-owners car is gigantic - surely they are the worst industry globally for that kind of product lifespan. It's likely the most expensive thing most people will ever buy, except for a house. | ||
