You can still go next weekend

I went today. It was fantastic. The cars there were just insane.

That Carbon Koenigsegg wasn't there today

Just got back and it was awesome.
MY fav was the import mustang and Chev volt.

You call that some import mustang?

It's the new Camaro bro, Transformers style!

Notice the word 'and' in my sentence.
I meant this mustang and you are correct. It is the Camaro concept. Bloody awesome car.

It's not a concept anymore, it's in production.

Is it? I'm so getting my step mom to buy one. She's got the old Z28 Camaro and it sucks bawls.

Chunky gearbox, heavy round corners and not actually that fast in a straight line when you look at it.

It's why I don't like American cars that much-they tend to be a bit crude and they may be cheap in the US but by the time they get here, they are the same price as everything else.

Any idea when it'll come here?

No idea if it's even coming here, but world wide release is set for 2009/2010

Edit: Oh and it will most probably be LHD, so you won't be able to import one in any case.

Good luck with the fuel costs these days - those things will guzzle petroleum.

Went to the show yesterday - was pretty good I must say.
There are some awesome vehicles around.
I took loads of shots which I was going to upload, but when I got back and looked at this thread my shots look identical to WiK1d's lol - so see above for photos

I was impressed with the new Nissan NP200, looks like quite a good little vehicle.

The Peugeot 908 le-mans car was amazing as well.

Anyone know when VW Passat CC available? Price looks horrific, but I can still dream...





Anyone understand why car prices seem to increase like mad when sales are down, and stay more or less stable when sales are great. I think I should add an exception to my economics textbook...

That passat looks quite nice, has a similar shape to the new Merc C class. Looks nice and professional on the inside, unlike previous generation passats

Your mom is rich ?

I like the seat style on that car..

It shouldn't be more then half a mil but GM is going down so maybe it's not such a great idea.
They just posted a loss of $4bil-that's a lot.
