the text on the bottom of the slides works much better in this format... exactly what i was suggesting that first time you tried the "photo essay" style thinger ma bob...

might just want to check the layout a touch on the text first so you don't end up with lines such as "who would've guessed buick would be the one to blow u" as the caption...

anyways, like the choices. that buick is a looker, the lexus is beautiful... i'm probably the only person in here that will say meh to the bmw, but it looks like a flashy bmw... i'm sure the drive is phenomenal with that turbo straight 6, but i look at my car more than i race it, and to me the bmw is a sharp car, but not the one i want to caress with my wash mitt.

a few nice rigs...
i used to be addicted to soap, but i'm clean now

There's some angles that the Lexus doesn't look right.  Again, it might be one of those things that you have to see in person.

I really like the Volvo and Buick. I think Chrysler's styling has been on point for quite a while now, and the Pacifica is another good looking vehicle. The Continental looks pretty good, but I'm curious to see what it looks like in person.

I just can't warm up to the grouper mouth on Lexus vehicles.  The Acura looks like an anime refugee. Not much else really caught my attention.
On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.

Sums up my thoughts as well.
