The ZDX is UGLY!!! but the interior is HOT. I love how the buttons look like blanks til you turn on the car and they light up. Thats pretty dope.
Anyway trying to get in to the rear of the ZDX is going to smack their skull at some point.

The LFA looks really good. Its low and mean. The white is a great color.
The LF Ch also looks really good.
The Crosstour does look much better in person, much like Honda said it did. But its still not quite right. I dont like it.
The ZDX is butt ugly. All the Acuras now have the beak and none of them look right. Any grown adult getting into the back of the ZDX will crack their skull on the roofline at some point. Really bad design. The interior is tits though. I love how when the car is off the buttons look completely blank, then turn the car on and they glow with the appropriate markings.
Everything Cadillac had to offer looked great. I love the CTS wagon and coupe. And the Converj concept (caddys volt) was very nice.
The Chroma Camaro concept was drop dead hot. Just a really well executed design.
Jay Leno's TT V6 Camaro was a neat presenation
The ZR1 is hotness, but I've seen them before
The Taurus SHO looks great. Sitting in the driver seat the dash is HUGE...much like many new design. Its like a table that extends far in to the windshield.
The new 4 Runner is very nice. Very 4 door FJ-ish. Much better than pictures posted in Auto News make it out to be.
The porsche Panamera...looks better in person, Ive seen two on the road already...I hate to say it...its growing on me, quickly.
The porsche boxster spyder is a home run. So sexy.
The Mercedes SLS AMG was the show stopper for me. Fucking LOVE that car. LOVE it.
Nissan/Infiniti and Ferrari seemed to be absent from the show this year. As was Bugatti.
That jeep concept was pretty awesome
The detonator yellow challenger is first time anyone has seen that color in the flesh. And orders ceased for them back in October. They should be hitting dealers this month. Its one of the limited high impact colors. Plum Crazy Purple is the other one, sadly that one wasnt there.
Most of the other concepts were :meh:
When you didnt think audi could make the R8 any sexier...the make the vert and fuck its hot.
The BMW 5 GT is also very nice. I love the dual action trunk/hatch
Ford fiesta is...cute, it'll sell very well.
Ford Raptor is a beast.
the mini concepts were pretty cool, I liked them a lot.
And the new GTI MKVI is pretty damn nice.
Think that covers most of it.

At least you can see the thumbnails still. Good enough to get the gist of each design. Crosstour... that thing probably almost broke the glass on your lens. Not even a mother could love that car. SLS is hot. Boxster Spyder looks great in white.
Anyhow, thanks for sharing. The post processing adds a nice touch, made the photos much more interesting.

Been meaning to have a look at this thread since yesterday.
Gotta love that Autobot symbol stitching. Sarlacc, whats the interior of the Camaro like? Still haven't sat in one but not liking what I'm hearing.

That's the profile the CTS coupe should have.
what is up with the Mini coupe concept? That thing is an abomination. IMO the 5-series GT is silly too, basically it's a lower, uglier X6? That Lincoln xD looks weird as hell too. It might work as a Ford, but that's definitely going to make some people scratch their heads. wtf is Honda/Acura thinking? None of their lineup in the show looks impressive, especially the Honda P-NUT which looks like
I like the Jeep Concept, and I like the red 4Runner Really like that Boxster Spyder too.
I like a lot of the cars in there.... great pics btw

seriously? That looks like a half assed car, and that fast of a roof simply doesn't fit the Mini's lines. I love the Mini and understand why they'd want to expand the lineup but that roof is fugly

huh? its fantastic. the cutoff at the door outline accentuates the form of the top. the roof break incorporates the spoiler. you cant expand the roofline any further, or else MINI wouldnt be able to mass produce the trunk mechanisms to match that of the vert'. come back with logical observations, and then well talk. got any better ideas to manufacture two semi segments of a car with limited sales production?

Its not terrible. but it does feel small. And you sit low, while everything including the windows are high. I dont think its my cup of tea.
