"Sir, could you please leave, now, without a fuss?"
(dejected) Okay...

Of course, that depends on whether or not there are such things as Detroit Aston Martin, Ferrari, Lamborghini and Rolls-Royce dealerships.

Of course, I have it on good authority that next year Jalopnik will be going green and won't bother with those non-ecofriendly batteries:

The 2010 Detroit Auto Show is proud to debut the offerings of the recently nationalized "big-three" automaker conglomerate.
Americar and sister company AMTRUCK have taken the cream of the crop of products from the former Ford, GM and Chrysler/Jeep companies, and is now producing these models in volume at federally-subsidized factories around the country.
The models making their world debut at this year's show include: the Americar Sebring, Escort and sassy Aveo. AMTRUCK introductions include the sporty Compass, rugged Dakota and practical H2 family wagon.
All models include the new Americar or AMTRUCK badging which includes the motto "Socially engineered for sensible Americans"
The new cars and trucks will be made available immediately, however consumer deliveries may be limited to five days a week due to budget overruns.

AmeriGov, producing vehicles solely for the purposes of the American government: such exemplary vehicles as:
- The AmeriGov Crown Victoria -- completely unchanged to reluctantly serve the needs of Police Forces and the new Federal Department of Taxi Services!
- The AmeriGov Suburban -- Serving the needs of the Secret Service, FBI, and other heavily-armed military wings tasked with curbing civil unrest and maintaining order.
- The AmeriGov DTS -- based on the excellent front-wheel-drive DTS sedan, it provides economical -- and luxuriously slow! -- transportation for government dignitaries.
Naturally, none of these vehicles will be available directly to the public, as the general populace would never have any need for a RWD V8 Sedan, a large sport-ute, or a full-sized luxury sedan. For enthusiasts, however, desiring something unique, take heart! Lightly-used -- and fully repaired! -- versions will be available at government auctions in only ten years' time!

There is actually a way to get in and out of those things with a modicum of dignity. Getting in it goes Ass -> Shoulders -> Head -> Rotate -> Knees together -> Pivot knees in -> Pull feet in together. Reverse when getting out, you're still going to have to lift yourself up and out with your arms but at least you aren't flailing and stumbling all over yourself.
