Into the New Year...2010!

Wow...my last blog entry was Thanksgiving of last year? Well the holidays were great. Spent time with family, ate a lot, and rested. But the main reason for this entry is the disappointment of an event we attended last night. I've been to the Silicon Valley International Car Show for quite a few years and this year shows the apparent impact of the economy on the auto industry. Even though we went opening day and some exhibits weren't open yet, we noticed that there were some car manufacturers that weren't there...Nissan, Infiniti, Audi, Porsche, Volvo, Saab, Mercedes...what a disappointment. Oh well, guess we'll have to wait for the SF show.


Some of the cars Chelle is considering to replace her 1999 Nissan Altima:

Volkswagen CC Lexus GS 350 Acura TL Unfortunately the cars that Chelle wanted to see were not there...Nissan, Infiniti, Audi, and Volvo.

Hmm...sounds like a good idea to check out Audi in Livermore (esp. since Porsche is next door).
We did see some bimmers and minis. They had an M5 there, but I think it was dealer only and not BMW themselves. And no mercs.
