Detroit Autoshow pics. (56k beware)

Here are some pics I took from the show.
It was a bit of a let down this year, but at least the Mazda booth was busy.

Here you go...

That 3rd picture of the group.. all we need is those 1ft, 2ft, 3ft, marker words on the backwall, and it'll look like a prison mug shot and we're all getting lined up to be identified.

I think Darkbrew knew what it was going to look like which is probably why he got out of the shot. LOL

Nice pics Neo.
What did you think of the BMW 135 and the Hyundai Genesis Coupe in person?
I hope they both make it to the Toronto show - my Detroit trip was rescheduled so I didn't make it this year.
The Mitsubishi Concept RA isn't too bad - hopefully it will replace the miserable eclipse!

To be completely honest, I was disappointed with the 1 series.
Alot of plastic inside. I know it has a great engine, but not something I would want to spend money on.
If I was looking at a car in the price range I would seriously give the Audi A4 or the Audi TT a good look.
I was hugely impressed with Audi!

Hyundai?!?! They make cars??? lol

The Camaro looks good, I betcha it'll bring the retired Gino's back out...where's my Diamond Girl CD??

Neo: Was the Alfa 8C Competizione at the show?
Would you recommend going? (Doesn't look like there is much there to get exited about)

are you kidding? From what I saw there was plenty to be excited about, I spotted at least a good dozen or so pictures that had me drooling, lucky bastards, wish we had a show like that closer to Austin

Chris_Bangle,

Unfortunately Alpha was a no show. I'm still stunned that Porsche didn't show. They made a pitiful excuse as to why. Detroit is still the autoshow to attend too.
If you've never been you should go. At least once. The atmosphere is drastically different compared to the T.O. show. The T.O. show will never let you examine all the cars either. At least in Detroit you're able to take a good look at all the models. Only the ultra exotics are the ones that are not allowed to be examined, for obvious reasons.
What really irritates me about the T.O. show is they only open the cars that are economy or middle trim. You will never see BMW, Mercedes, Audi, or even Lexus open their cars to the public. You're just left admiring the interior through the glass.
That's mainly the reason for going to an autoshow, right? You want to compare all the cars back to back in one place.

Thanks for the reply, the TO show is a joke I went once never been back, I will probably check Detroit show out, sit in the Exige/Elise and go home

Or you could just go to Mosport on one of the lapping days and ask one of the guys there who own an Elise/Exige for some time behind the wheel.
Lotus was another no show at Detroit.
