Does anyone want to know about anything from the show?
Lexus, Acura, BMW had very sweet displays. It really seemed like the acura company is upgrading. TL-S was pretty, but there was something really annoying about it. The LS430 seems like the best car in the world, but butt ugly. The GS 430 seemed cramped. The Z8 was beautiful. The M5 had the most comfortable interior. BMW had a rave party going on in their section. The M3 was in that ugly blue color with crappy rims. Audi's had the ugliest interiors. Volvo's PCC looked cool, but not really. Honda had a hardtop S2000 (spa yellow). A couple companies messed up Ferrari Modenas with stickers and junk. The Porsche GT was sitting in the middle of the lake.
One thing I noticed was that BMW let people turn on their xenons while acura disabled all the car's functions. BMW continues to be ostentatious while acura is still too conservative.
Pics coming tomorrow.
------------------
Some Say "TL Type S," Navi, Spoiler, Side Skirts, Tint All Around, Interior Footwell Lighting, Eibach ProKit, PIAA 1700x Fogs in side holes, Inspire Tails, 17" Type-S Rims with 215/45/17 Bridgestone Potenza RE730's, Visor, Wood Shifter.

Yup, you are right.... the GT was sitting in the middle of a pond. My god, GT is beeeautiful! I want that car... only if I could afford it. Since that was the first car I saw when I went to the auto show... dayum, the rest of the cars were so boring compared to the GT!

M3... yeeeew! WTF! Why did BMW bring out the ugliest color possible!? Funny thing was, there weren't that many ppl around the brand new M3. (Probably ppl hated the color?) But when I went over to M5, dayum... hella many ppl were there.
In the aftermarket parts/performance section, they had tons of modified "VIP" cars! They were dope.![](http://www.acura-tl.com/ubb/smile.gif)
Overall, it was a cool show. GT was definately the highlight of the show, IMO.
