I just got back from the show. I thought it was much better this year than last year! But now I'm sad that I didn't wait 3 extra months for the 2002 TL.

Great PIX! WTF was up with standing in that red beetle???
No wonder you though the S2000 was unattractive, the pics show that yellow car in the worst possible lighting!
...and those weird looking small vehicles are the Merlin and the Sparrow, a single seat commuter vehicle put out by a local company called Corbin motors. You can drive the carpool lanes with it like a motorcycle. I think i'd lose the dots tho

Nah, My flash went off, but the pic was messed up..look down more in the album, you'll see the door jamb of the S2000..much brighter.. I don't know why my camera took the pic so dark..

Did you check out the Hyundai LZ450.

I have new respect for Hyundai, at least in the Japanese Market. It's not available in U.S. Why do they get all the cool toys?

This car is awesome.

That "thing" with the twin corvette lights...you can't see so well, but the rear license plate frame says "the sharper image".. I guess they are distributors..

We just went to the show also yesterday. Me, my younger brother, Blackshadow, SlickTL17 and another TL owner who is not on the forum. I'll post pics later on also in case Ed missed anything. It was a pretty good show. Man every car had at least 18's.

I'm over these shows... Years ago I used to take like 3 copies of every single car brochure...Nowadays, I go thru the whole show in less than 2 hours, took pics of what interested me, and picked up a brochure on the Caddy Escalade(for my dad) and the new Sentra(for my business partner).

You guys are joking about the Hyundai, right?

I mean, Lexus get criticised for styling the LS430 to rip off the prior-generation S-class Mercedes. The LZ450 rips off the styling of the 1980s S-class! It looks like a tarted-up 1982 300SEL turbodesiel!

Put 20-inch wheels on a Chevy Vega, and I think some of you would buy it .
