The 2013 G-Force Coverage of the San Francisco Car Show (Sponsored by Eggo)

Before I get started, no, that's not a typo. I've been asked by a lot of people (and by A LOT, I mean one) why my Car Show coverage is always a year in advance. That's because the cars on exhibit in 2012 are actually 2013 models, 2011 cars are actually 2012 models, and so on. It's odd, I know, but I have to capitulate to their unreasonable market-research tested car names. So, here we go.

Ordinarily, I blog about EVERY SINGLE DAMN CAR COMPANY at the show, but this time, I'm devoting this only to the companies that MATTER. So, without further ado, I give you THE 2013 G-FORCE COVERAGE OF THE SAN FRANCISCO CAR SHOW (SPONSORED BY EGGO)!!!

CHEVY: Chevy is my favorite automotive company, and also the first on this list. What a coincidence! Basically nothing Chevy does these days will disappoint me, but I have to say: The new Impala looks a little... hmm... Toyota-y. Too toned down, not enough of that Chevy pizzazz everyone loves. However, the Camaro was as awesome as ever.

FORD: Ford is the #1 choice by my parents to replace our old crappy 1994 Isuzu Trooper, and I have to say, their new C-Max is pretty good. I already rode in one a few weeks ago (See my old post 'C-Maxxed Out'), but it was fun to see it alongside all those other cars that don't get very good gas mileage. Rock on, Ford. Rock on.

TOYOTA: The Great Satan's exhibit this year was a piece of crap, as always. Beige cars with cheap plastic cupholders, poorly designed interiors and a truly AWFUL aesthetic design. Death to Toyota. The same goes for its evil subsidiaries, Scion and Lexus

NISSAN: Even worse than Toyota, Nissan has the worst auto lineup since Edsel. The Juke is a joke, the Murano's for morons, and the Quest is... a piece of s**t. Look, I can only come up with so many of these puns. WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME??? Both Nissan and Infiniti can go die in a hole.

CHRYSLER: Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram, and their new overlord Fiat had a good exhibit this year. I really like the new Dodge Dart, and when it comes to ATV's, Jeep blows everyone else out of the water. Fiat, of course, just had a bunch of 500's out there and expected us to think that different paint jobs are 'cutting-edge'. But I don't care. I'm shocked by Chrysler's epic turnaround. Let's see if they can keep it up.

BMW: BMW was exhibiting their new, more fuel-efficient models, and (let's face it) there's no way this could have gone wrong. BMW makes only one thing: The ultimate driving machine. Have no doubt.

HONDA: I've said it before and I'll say it again: Honda is Toyota, but without all the personality. Sickening.

And that's all that really matters. Of course, there's also Mercedes, Smart, Acura, Land Rover, Jaguar, Lamborghini, Fisker, Coda, Porsche, Mitsubishi, Mazda, Audi, Volkswagen, Subaru, Bentley, Rolls-Royce, Lincoln, GMC, Cadillac, Buick, and Tesla... but who's counting?

Not to mention the awe-inspiring collection of great classic cars at the back of the center. MGs, old Minis, some classic racing cars, and some I had never even heard of before. And that takes EFFORT. Remember, you're talking to the nutjob who has a six-page car logo list that he made himself, and then categorized based on number of times he'd seen them. Yes, I am obsessed.

Bye!

The Nissan Quest-- Truly the pinnacle of human un-gineering.
