Fabgeekling goes to Chicago Auto Show

Chicago Auto Show and McCormick Place: A Chicago Tradition of Patronage
2010-02-21 04:58:00 Chicago Auto Show & McCormick Place: A Chicago Tradition of Patronage Like most ex-Chicagoans, returning to the city for special events or to haunt the old neighborhood is fun.

The Chicago Auto Show has arrived ... almost
2010-02-10 06:28:00 For me, it has already begun. The out-of-town media have managed to stumble in during the snow storm, and several key executives from the various and sundry automakers have braved the blizzard as well. Tonight, I had a very pleasant dinner with General Motors and met Mark Reuss, the new, new president of GM North America.Other than spilling the beans on future product from Pontiac in the year 2020 (just kidding), he seems to be a great car guy with a keen mind and, dare I say, a dash of Bob Lutz. I see good things to come under his leadership. ...Tomorrow, however, the real fun begins. It's like Christmas all over again.Press conferences, crazy access to influential people within...
Chicago Auto Show Preview
2010-02-09 22:04:00 The press days for the Chicago Auto Show begin tomorrow, and here's a look at what to expect.

Exactly what, I don't know yet, but the teaser shots that have hit the Web seem to indicate it will NOT be an SUV or crossover. The press will know tomorrow.Ford's embargo on the 2011 Shelby GT was lifted the other day, so we know the details on its 550-horsepower 5.4-liter V-8. We also know the car will lose weight, have improved fuel economy (15 mpg city/23 mpg highway), and offer...

Wil the Taurus SHO be introduced at the Chicago Auto SHOw?
2009-02-09 16:29:00 All signs point to a SHOwing of the EcoBoost 3.5 liter DOHC twin-turbo V-6 at the Chicago auto show. Question is: will it be shown in a Taurus... and will that model be named SHO? Ford has provided additional images of the EcoBoost engine in the last few weeks. First a picture (actually provided as part of the Detroit show press materials) of the special piston used in the boosted version of the 6. You'll note the dish in the middle of the piston that the (direct) injector is aimed towards. Also note that the injector is placed in the side of the head. This is current practice - but not for long. The upcoming 4 cylinder EcoBoost engine places it on the top of the chamber (known as "central"), between the valves, pointing downwards. The Jaguar 5 liter V-8 engine (designed with Ford, but alas no longer owned by Ford) places it similarly. Ford has also released the very first image showing the production ready engine. Previously released images were of d... |
