Here are some highlights. Sorry for any blurrrry pictures in advance. Forgot to take pics of the facelifted Porsche Cayenne. There were no Ferrari's or Lambo's there; guess the dealer didn't want to waste his time.

BMW World:
couldn't believe only one vert and you couldn't sit in it. This was a pre-production model, I was told. That top mechanism looks complicated; hope it's well tested. They also had a 335 coupe space gray/coral red/aluminum.




Alpina B7




Audi seems to be in love with carbon fiber




CF on the console of the S6 taken thru the window


The big Benz coupe



Cool metallic chocolatey brown Bentley; look at the color under the back window. The seatbelts and other interior accents were also brown.


Lexus IS 500; I guess I was shaking in its presence (sorry again)



Lexus LF-A; my friend says this is his next car. Also the best in show model here (no pic, sorry)




We'll stick with Toyota; the FTHS (?Supra of the new millenium?)







Off to GM






Hmmm, the M5 wannabes????? Pontiac G8. Could lose the hood scoops. They're not sure if they're gonna offer Nav. 362 horses, or something like that.


small back lights; need some work



From Cadillac, the CTS



The Camoro convertible; "just around the corner," they said...2009..and that's just probably the coupe.




Buick's SUV (this was one the nicer American cars we saw; thought it could compete with Japanese SUV's like Acura MDX, Lexus RX. Price is low-mid 40's depending on big options like Nav, Sunroof, 4 wheel drive. The car was longitudinally split in two)



Last, a cool Viper; the paint looks like stainless steel or titanium or something like that

Great post, Thanks a lot. Love the 3er hardtop cabrio, the CL63, the Audi R8 (drool!!!!!) and I even was pretty impressed with the Camaro. I just have to get past the avg. Camaro driver (acid washed jeans, mullet and a shiny, black satin jacket, or a woman with big, bleached hair, long silver nails who drinks white wine spritzers, and think's their "classy", or that even thinks the word classy is classy [8]
