I just got back from my second visit to the KC Auto Show (Once with friends, once with the Fam).

I was completely underwhelmed at the lack of fuel-efficient choices.

A guy gets in the new Corolla, "This thing's too small, my knees hit the steering wheel". After he exited the car, I said to my friend, "This car's too big, let's go look at the Yaris..."

Move the seat down and/or the adjustable column upward! ARGH!!!

That's the sentiment BIG cars, crossovers, and Hybrid SUVs. I had to yell BOO at the guy pimping the Hybrid Escalade. I left the show, again peaved.

I really liked the Fit, HCH or HC-NGV, Prius, etc. Nothing that blew me away. There's always next year.
