From shinny chrome to sleek designs, the latest model cars are on display this weekend in New Orleans.
What are you looking for in a car? If you're the Powell's, it's likely you're looking for space. "Pretty much the van side. Some thing that I can hold eight people to," says Ellisha. If you're her daughter Delta, you're looking for comfort. "Because I need to fit in my car with babies," the grammar school student says.
The 2010 International Auto Show showcasing the latest cars to roll out on dealer lots is this weekend. Jeffrie Schultis with GNO New Car Dealers Association says, "Everything is safety and technology."
From best sellers like the Honda Accord that you see on virtually every road in the city ... to the Synergy Green Chevy Camero, only in production until May, you'll get to see all kinds of different cars. Plus, you'll get to feel, touch and sit in them as well.
The most expensive car on the lot – a maroon Corvette -- priced at nearly $122,000 thousand dollars -- so valuable, we weren't allowed to open the door. It caught Jonathan Glawson's eye too. "So you want your dad to buy you a $122,000 thousand dollar car?" "Who wouldn't?" "But you're only 15. You have your permit. You're not concerned about wrecking that $122,000 thousand dollar car?" "No," says Jonathan.
Much less expensive with many top honors this year -- Ford, winning three Motor Trend awards. Lorenzo McDonald with Lamarque Ford says, "It's listening to the customers."
One eye catcher -- the many new, eclectic colors available to reflect your personality. There's blackberry pearl, vixen red to crimson black and this pink.
If you've got a list of criteria important to your family -- like the Powell's -- there are a lot of cars and a lot of choices to maneuver through.
The car show is at the Morial Convention Center through the weekend.
