The Audi floorspace was on the small side, with a nice R8 display, but only a single A3. The A3 didn't have Open Sky, which I would think is a feature that Audi would like to highlight, especially with the Volvo C30 sitting not far away.
The C30 is more attractive in person than in photos. I wasn't as put off by the tail treatment as I expected, and at least Volvo took some chances with the design without producing a train wreck, unlike Dodge.
What are the folks at Dodge smoking? By far, they had the ugliest product line, inside and out, on the floor. Disposable dinnerware has a better feel than their interior plastics.
Speaking of plastic, there were acres of it, frequently painted silver or grey, slathering the interiors of most vehicles. I left the show feeling a little spoiled by my base A3's interior, which is more attractive and better designed than those in vehicles costing much more money.
