[HeilSvenska]

Lincoln and Scion
It's funny how when people think of Lincoln, they think of old people. Now old people are flocking to Scions, which are supposed to be the youth-only brand. It's so funny when brand marketing falls flat on its face.




Suzuki

Suzuki XL7 Hill Climb Special
If you don't recognize this, shame on you. This is the car that beat the Pikes Peak record this year.




Suzuki SX4 WRC
Suzuki was also nice enough to bring their WRC car for us.



Honda

Honda FCX Clarity
It's pretty boring for the world's first production hydrogen car. And no one paid any attention to it.


Honda S2000 CR



Mercedes-Benz

Mercedes-Benz CLK 63 AMG Black Edition & S 63 AMG


That Maybach no one likes


Mercedes-Benz 290 Special Roadster
You have no idea how glorious this car is.



Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Roadster




Mercedes-Benz C 63 AMG




Lexus
Lexus was located right in front of Mercedes-Benz. I thought it was funny.

Lexus IS-F with the infamous exhausts. And some nasty kitted IS-F


I have more, but I think I'm going to rest for a while. Posting pics is exhausting.

looks like a sick ass car show. i remember the Scion stand in Seattle looked exactly like that and to me they got the most creative award except they had a sexy white tC with gold rims. The mazda stand looks amazing with them building a clay model infront of you.

Oh man - the white C 63 looks amazing.

The Bullitt Mustang is also a fantastic car on the streets back again -
thanks for sharing these show pics.

[HeilSvenska]

Porsche
GT2, Cayenne Trans-Siberia, Cayenne Hybrid Concept





Ferrari
Two F430 Scuderias and a nasty two-tone Scaglietti. There was also a 599GTB and a F340 Spider.






Morgan Aero 8, one googly eyed and one corrected



Vector WX-8
It's crap.

[Smartdriver]

Wow, thanks for all shots!

[novass]

Thanks for posting all these pics! Now that you did, I don't think I need to go to the show anymore LOL

[Stikz]

I get drunk sometimes at the show. I wish they wouldn't sell beer there, but, whatever.

[Vansquish]

The Vector would be much more interesting if it wasn't so poorly-done. It looks unfinished, and too much like a kit car for its own good. The fact that it's using mid-90's Toyota Supra headlights and indicators doesn't help at all...

I was just kidding, by the way. It's just so crowded and from where I was, I couldn't fit the entire car in the shots, so yeah. I'll post more pics later today.

Yeah, I figured your angles were because of the lack of locations having to do with the crowd. Hell, you should have gone last night, there was no one there. The LA Auto Show has lost the luster it once had. There isn't as much care or creativity put into the displays like there used to be years ago. Kentia Hall, which is usually always crowded with cars, was actually lacking in cars and had tons of unused space.

The only reason I even really go now is to continue a tradition of going with my father. This year was my 30th consecutive year, starting back when I was 2. I will be going again on Wednesday though. My girlfriend has never seen a car show on this scale, so I figured it would be cool for her to check it out.

I went on friday, which was the opening day. It took me and my friend 10 mins just to get in. And I thought it was pretty good with lots of premiers and all, but I do agree that the Kentia Hall was pretty much empty, except for all the nasty bling tats that should be shot.

Thanks mate for this nice LA motorshow cover, I very like the beautiful Volvo S80 Heico concept and the mighty Mustang GT500KR.

Is it possible to repost the first two great Porsche 997 GT2 pictures, I think there's a problem with Imageshack or something, I can't click on them. Thanks in advance.

Sorry. I haven't checked MW during the Thanksgiving week. I'll do that along with the other pics from the show. I've just been very lazy lately.
