Shanghai & New York Autoshow: Ask, And You Shall Receive

This coming week is the week when all car manufacturers wish they would have a split personality. The New York Auto Show and the Shanghai Auto Show will take place in the same week. Jack Baruth will take Manhattan. (Hey, Jack: The famous Headquarter’s “Steakhouse” is right next door to the Javit’s Center. Scores is just a few blocks south.) I’ll take Shanghai and my camera. I’m sure Jack will come equipped. Maybe.

As a special service to the Best & Brightest, YOU can put in requests for what we shall take pictures of – apart from the obvious.

We’ll try to fulfill all requests – to the best of our abilities.

    1. Ford's WRC motion simulator. My company made it. I'm actually remoted into their computer right now to help set it up... 2. I don't care about anything else.

    Schmitt: Interior shots of the new M5 please. (& no more angry self portrait). Baruth: Vodka McBigBra please.

    Jack, could you find out if Ford has plans to bring Focus wagon to our shores? It was shown in Detroit among C-Max and future Fords.

    I've seen a lot of photoshops of the new Audi A3. Would like to the real thing.
