Fresh metal and green machines
You eye the sculpted coupe du jour and imagine sliding into its soft, leather seats. As you stride toward it, your eyes meet those of a salesman across the way. He's armed with pitches and you're just looking. Can you handle him?
The Greater Lehigh Valley Auto Show is a chance for a little less talk and a lot more action. Roughly 200 cars will be displayed in three adjacent Lehigh University venues -- Stabler Arena, Rauch Field House and the West Pavilion -- today through Sunday, giving enthusiasts a chance to admire some rather exquisite machinery in a low-pressure setting.
Get a sneak peek at several cars slated for a 2009 debut including the Nissan Murano, a car with the look and feel of a sport utility vehicle, Ford's all-American, all muscle, Mustang Bullitt and the fuel-efficient Dodge Journey.
In addition to the sports cars, SUVs and family-friendly sedans that form the core of the show, organizers have bumped up the number of ''green'' and hybrid vehicle, says Martha Cusimano, executive director kelly.suarez@mcall.com 610-820-6108
