    There was a grey or red one that was in one of the lobbies that had the Recaros. The standard ones were still plenty supportive though.

    My beef with Ford was this. They have great looking new cars coming out, the new Taurus, Fusion sport, Mustang(debatable). All of these were on platforms unavailable for a closer look from the public, WHY?!?!. Also the car that should have been there to drum up some buzz, the fiesta, was no where to be seen.

    I'll agree with you on that to a point. Because we're a smaller auto show than Detroit, Los Angeles or New York we often don't get to see a lot of those cars. Most of the cars that are there are from local dealer lots, and the few cars we do see that are in concept or pre production form aren't really meant to be seen up close as they're either pre production mules cleaned up or static displays.
