Any thoughts on the Detroit Auto show/cars coming out this year?

I watched the Detroit Auto show on CNBC, and was surprised to see what looks like a lot of decent cars coming out later this year. They have a bunch of fuel-efficient hybrids and electrics that don’t look like science experiments. And cars with cool technology packages. Plus, Ford has redesigned the Taurus for 2010 and it may actually be a decent American car. Nissan was a no-show at the auto show (maybe b/c they’re doing well?)
What are your thoughts on the Auto Show and the cars coming out this year?
I’m guessing there are so many hybrids/electrics b/c they were in the works when gasoline was approaching $5.00 a gallon. Also it appears American automakers are tired of lagging behind Japan and Germany in innovation, and have decided to make some decent cars for a change instead of relying on SUVs and pick up trucks.
Excellent points, Chris. I think the Cadillac Volt is a really cool car. Too bad Detroit didn’t come out with these cars a couple years ago, before the recession really got rolling. They’d be in much better shape.
