In the US, we get such lousy pre-show coverage of the Paris Auto Show, which is opening this Thursday. Maybe it's because we'll never see on these shores most of the mighty-mite vehicles Europeans, per their thousand-pence-per-gallon gas prices, get to drive. To hear the US media tell it, the only Paris unveilings of interest are the new Ford Focus or (yet another highway football) the Mazda5 Minivan. Why bother? Oh great gods of the north, rain your divine coverage o'er me. Does anyone here speak Norwegian?
