Not really photography, but I dont know where else I should put it. Went to the show but it was so crowded I didnt get to see most of the concepts. Ive been before so we just ran around in a couple of hours and left early so as not to get caught in traffic.

The STi was better looking in person. Still not as special as it could/should be though.

These chicks were great, and I liked the little car in the background.

Not as many babes here as the Auto Salon I went to in Osaka.

This car was impressive. The Intima I think.

Thats all.
 
Is it just me or is new car design heading to the extremes again? On the one end you have hyper-smooth "not-a-bump-on-'em" designs that look more at home vibrating unseen under a leather recliner, and on the other end you have super-boxy plastic cartons-on-wheels for urban use.
 
Great pics.. where are the shots of the GTR :p Thanks for sharing!

Cheers. Couldnt get anywhere near the GTR. We just snuck into the Nissan section before they closed it off but, seriously, there were so many people in there I gave up. I got close to the cutaway but figured the official shots were a lot better so there wasnt much point. I dont think the Tokyo show compares to others. When I looked at the shots from the LA show I couldnt believe how empty it was.
