Re-post for people who aren’t vampires, or European.
First I’m going to do the special requests that people submitted yesterday . Then it’s just going to be fairly random pictures of things that were shiny, and me doing my best to sound like an auto journalist or Mr. Regular.
DISCLAIMER: All pics were taken with a cheap smart phone, so don’t expect perfection. At least they’re all landscape, except for a few that merit portrait mode.
First up, Racin’ Jasons request for Honda Ridgeline, Fiat 124, and Civics, (don’t worry “other sports cars” is covered extensively later.)
At this point, I’ll add I learned nothing new about any of the Honda’s. At least tech wise. Honda didn’t have much, or any, material out. It was basically just a dealer showroom without salesman. This may change this weekend though.
IDK what that button does, but I like it.
I’m 6'1 and fit back there reasonably, comfortably would be relative.
Now on to the Civics
The harsh lighting was just wrecking my potato.
I though the hatch was underwhelming
Now to the Fit.
The key location, lol.
You weren’t allowed to get close to it :( Although I can say the interior is the exact same as the Miata, as far as I could tell. Couldn’t get a good pic of it though.
Now on to the Lexi
This car, maybe, had the most old school interior there.
Yeah, I didn’t wait for people to get out of the way. There was tons of shit to see so I was in a hurry.
Idk what’s with the grey mirrors.
I accidentally deleted the pic of the dash, oops.
Now on to the Jaaaaaag F-type. Not sure if it was a 2017 or ‘18 though.
It still looks gorgeous though, even when photographed by a potato fortunately.
Before hand, I didn’t know it had a clamshell hood.
Now we’ll go, roughly, in order from when I got to the show.
First thing I saw was this Ford prototype thing that seemed interesting. It’s a small CUV/hatchback with the 1.0L ecoboost.
Wasn’t able to get inside of it :(
Then a Focus RS. I never knew how much flake they put in the paint. Unfortunately you can’t see it in the pictures.
Then the ‘stangs
Then there was a party bus Transit.
Then the two Alfas
Onward to GM
Chevy Volt
Then the Buick convertible. The Cascada or something.
I think this is the LaCrosse, not sure though.
Now a Cadillac that’s not the CT6
Now the CT6. Which to be honest, I was a little underwhelmed with, compared to the one above.
Then the ‘yotas. They really wanted you to know that they make trucks, and a NASCAR. and the Prius shhh!
Back to more TRUCKS!
Time for the Koreans!
A hybrid doodah. I included a pic of a pamphlet.
These are the only two decent pictures I got of the Stinger. My potato couldn’t handle the fact it was spinning at 3 rpm.
Then... The concepts.
I’ll let them introduce themselves.
The Civic’s cousin who went to med school.
Then the, according to FP, basically a NSX :]
Then to Volvo. Which I must say. Their seats didn’t live up to the hype. The interiors were absolutely lovely, but honestly I preferred the Mazada’s and most other’s seats.
Don’t worry For Sweden. I’ll voluntarily ban myself :(
FYI. The interior shot’s are of two different cars. I didn’t take any exterior shot’s of the other one. I think it was an SUV or something.
Now some exotics. Maybe I’m dead inside. But I didn’t really car for any of them, except the Lotuses and one of the Aston Martins.
Smoke break, time to check out what’s in the parking lot.
Now fer ‘Merican classics and others.
But first the new Continental.
Bruh...
Oh shit! The Lotus is gonna try and show’em up!
Ahhh, nice try buddy.
Mazada and VW
FYI I’ve been making this for over an hour at this point.
The Mazada6, you already now what the exterior looks like.
Now the 3. Which really is just a shorter 6. If you don’t need the extra space. I’d highly recommend it over the 6.
RF Miata
Now for one of my favorite car’s at the show.
Also I must confess. I have a thing for the new new beetle, it’s true.
Now for that new SUV thingy.
*Snores
Misc. stuff (I’m getting tired.)
And now, last but not least.
As Moog said in the MCM/Roadkill special.
“Give me America!”
And one last thing. When I grabbed my wallet off my nightstand this morning, there was some change under it. One of the coins started spinning and landed like this.
I shit you not.
Anyway feel free to ask me anything or yell about the bad photos. Goodnight, good sir/ma’am.

Awesome pics!
Too bad Jaguar isn’t even putting the 2018 F-Types on display yet!
But the Kia Stinger looks pretty in that blue.
And the Brown Volvo wagon (wish it was blue) and Miata RF look sweet in person :)

if only the Volvo wagon were manual.
if you try to get the coin to stand like that you’ll never achieve it.
what were the crowds like?

Nice! Thanks for uploading all these, I won’t be able to make it to the show this year.
The use of LEDs as the interior lights in the Audi A8 definitely seems like the next step in Audi’s quest to put LEDs literally everywhere. BUT, I really don’t like it, they seem really harsh. Like putting florescent lights in a car.

Good stuff. My son walked up while scrolling through and saw the white and black McLaren and was oooooing and aahhhhing and then G-Wagon wheel.... then my wife came in and he told her he liked the black one and the white one. Also had him pronounce Porsche with the uhh. He is 4.
And I’m working nights so I just kind of woke up.
Thanks, my son and I enjoyed the photos.

Not bad at all, but it was a Thursday. They’ll probably be awful today and this weekend :)

This has been an awesome post! Took me this long to read and analyze it. Thanks for the photos! There is really so much to comment on, so I’ll just say that you are awesome for this!
