Atlanta Auto Show.

Went to Atlanta for Import Alliance and didn't even know about this event until I checked the internet and another member told me the TLX was going to be there. Checked out what it had to offer and I'm glad I went. Enjoy the photos.










































































The Brute was the hardest one to photograph because people were all about it. This thing is cool.






















My brother's first time seeing a LFA in person. It just so happened to be a whitest white nurburgring edition.
















It's almost as if Lexus knew I was coming to the show. #whitecarfetish




My friend Scott just bought a 2011 is250. This is him sitting in the new IS. And I want this fool's shoes but he won't trade.








Luckily didn't have any encounters with these guys over the weekend.


I need one of these for the TL. That pushbar.


Then and now.






This simulator was awesome. Do want.


BIG ass escalade.










RLX interior.


Wanted to toss these belt stands at the wall.












The jewel eyes are insane.

Great pics.

The TLX is the first Acura that looks like a worthy replacement of the 3rd gen.

I also reallly want that Brute. That Kia thing looks neat, they'll probably ruin it for production.

The TLX is the best looking sedan there. Good to see Acura's designing department is stepping up their game.

I hate Acura's direction with no tailpipes showing. Ruins the lines if you ask me.

Thanks for the pics.
I honestly think an LFA would be the car I'd buy if I were in the market for a supercar today.
And, I actually kinda like the new WRX/STI

Nice photos! Thanks for sharing.

The M4 is gorgeous. And I'm actually warming up to the Q50. Just saw one on the road this morning. I like it in dark gray.

But ugh what is Lexus doing? I'm sorry but I really dislike all of their designs.

And Subaru... I really need to see one in person but poor STi...

They kind of fix the front, then they start ruining the rear!

Agreed on both The Lexus' are starting to slip. The grill was bad enough, but now the droopy tails?

And on the STi. It's a shame what that car has become. It looks like a Japanese econobox...

too bad the production model most likely will not be nearly as good as the prototype.

I just noticed that Escalate has those "Jeweled LED headlights" for years now. Why is Acura making a big deal out of it?

Because when a company doesn't do anything truly remarkable, the marketing team is left resorting to touting the 86 light bulbs and all-season tires the car comes with ... Acura sounds a lot like the way Nissan was in the late-90s. No one wants to speak up and say ideas are bad. So they keep turning out derivative iterations and think they're revolutionary.

That Kia concept looks sweet.


Drooling over the GT-R.

I had no idea Mazda had a prototype-class race car. Very cool.

The TLX is an improvement over the last few models.

Glad you guys enjoyed the photos. I'm really happy we decided to go. It was full of win.

I guess we get to see what this production TLX will look like in a couple weeks. I can't wait to see how much wheel gap and how sunk the wheels will sit. And the lame rear bumper with no exhaust outlets. So excited!!

It will be interesting, that's for sure. If the production model looks anything like the one in your avatar, Acura will have my attention again. Not holding my breath... but there's always hope!
