It was okay this year...not many new concepts were unveiled. You can check out the pictures I took here.

that suzuki thing... images/smilies/yucky.gif

nice pics though!

Janus · January 10th, 2006, 09:34 AM

I like the look of that Chrysler! images/smilies/thumbsup.gif

Looks like a cross between an Aston Martin and a Ferrari 612! But, presumbly, at a fraction of the price.

Can we also get the pics hosted so we can steal....I mean save them? images/smilies/tongue.gif

And here is a video clip of a new type of spinner.

That is rediculous, all we need now is for them to come out in 22's and then we've got problems.

i hope you checked out the 'kentia hall', they had an F50, CGT, gallardo, elise, veilside NSX (hahaha), phantom, auburn, f430, 360 spider, etc.. and all at touching distance. i almost fell into the F50 images/smilies/lol.gif

way too many people to take pics over the weekend, i barely took 5 images/smilies/cry.gif

How could you almost fall into an F50 images/smilies/huh.gif

Anyway, thanks for the few pics. I didn't even know the L.A. show was going on. Detroit seems much bigger!

No Merc pics? images/smilies/tongue.gif

I did, but nothing really impressed me. Actually, the video of that spinner and the $1M wheel was taken from the aftermarket area in the Kentia Hall.

I went on Monday and it wasn't that crowded. BTW, did you play that VW driving game? It was the one that had the rotating platform.

AutoMX · January 12th, 2006, 03:49 AM

i didnt even think about the location of the LED spinners, but yes you obviously did go there.
sunday was just too crowded and i gave up in the VW area. the exotic area (lambo saleen ferrari etc) was insane, you couldnt walk much less see anything...

about the F50 thing: it's not exactly a hummer, and im a tall guy. someone shoved me and i almost tripped over the knee-high "wall" that kept people from getting too close to the F50. if i didnt regain my balance, i would have fallen face first into the passenger seat of the F50 images/smilies/lol.gif

Not many new concepts? They were all over the place, you just had to look for them.

Highlight of the show: M6, Bugatti, and Cayman S.
