Yeah, If I remember correctly its a FCX sportster.

OK, I updated some more. There should be 2 pages of pics ending with the Camaro BLACK concept.

I have tons more pics to process...but I have to pack and try and get some sleep. So, it can wait until next week.

Z actually looks great in person. I was surprised.

New mustang is also really impressive in person. They really did improve the quality of the interior.

i guess i'd have to see it in person. I never thought the outgoing Z was that great looking either, but I think the weird swoop things on the headlights of the Z and maxima are almost as bad as the grills on acuras.

I always thought they should do a retro style Z taking cues from the 240z, like the domestics are doing, and kinda how this guy thinks. But I guess the classic Japanese sports cars don't have quite the following in America as the muscle cars.

thanks for sharing! Looks like you managed to get shots without people in the way. Did you just tell them to scram or were they nice about moving?

Wow, the Z looks like a complete failure. Headlights/tails look terrible, the fangs, sunken in wheels (offset fail), and the rear end in the front 3/4 view looks so FAT. I also dont like the sharpness of the a-pillar...

The new Mustang is the only real affordable car i'm looking forward to...

I dunno I like the new 370z. Do I think that it would look better with different headlights and a different front bumper? Yes, but an aftermarket bumper and a eyelids is an easy mod.

Nice work.... Can't wait to see more pics. The 370 is

Kind of looks like a poor man's GT-R.

And what is up with the Camaro having a double bumper (it looks like a bumper below the tail lamps, then another bumper below that). Or is it just me?

You should probably be more specific next time.

The 2010 Mustang probably impressed more than any other car there (cept for the challenger of course )

The interior quality is vastly improved. Sure things like the center cubby still have some thin feelings plastics, but overall it feels solid and looks really good in person.

I was also really impressed by the 370z in person. But of course we couldnt sit in that one or get too close.

I gotta admit I was a little sad after sitting in the G8 GT. I love the car. I love how all the controls are in the center. But the plastic is a bit thin...you go and push the side mirror control and you can see and feel the whole center console's plastic give and flex. That was disappointing...but it wasnt so bad that I wouldnt drop coin on a G8 GXP.
All the pics were shot on a 24mm....So, I was able to get pretty up and personal with 98% of the cars.

Great pics. I went to our car show this past weekend, and was impressed with the new TL and TSX. I'm not sure when it happened, but car prices have gotten to be insane. I liked the 2010 Mustang; Ford did a good job with it. No 370Z, Camaro, 09 Cayman, or 09 Boxster for us .
