Hey everyone! I'm actually new to the board so I thought that in a lame attempt to be accepted by everyone, I'd do some reporting from the San Diego Auto Show. 
They had a rally SRT-4 at the Dodge booth! It was roped off so you couldn't touch it, and there was some weird tint/film on the windows so you couldn't really see the interior either. It had an orange paint job and sponsor stickers all over it. Also had gold (8 spoked?) wheels, similar to those Oz wheels that the rally WRX is always wearing. It wasn't wearing any of the standard badges on the trunk (Dodge and SRT-4). People at the show didn't seem all that interested, probably because they figured it was just a suped-up Neon. Shoulda got some pictures but I left my camera at home, sorry! Picked up an SRT brochure at the booth. It's got some great shots of the Viper SRT-10, Ram SRT-10 and, of course, the SRT-4. Since I couldn't get any photos of the car I'd be happy to scan the brochure and post it up if anyone's interested!
Also got to see a Segway in action at the Ford booth! If you don't know what a Segway is, check it out here:

And that's about all.
As for my car choices, I've been going back and forth between a Celica and Tiburon, or should I wait for something like the RX-8 ... but then I heard about the SRT-4 and read the reviews in Sport Compact Car and I'm sold! Now I just need some money.
