Yeah, so, Alabama’s big auto show was in Birmingham this weekend. If you’re looking for a good venue to shop around with new cars, this is an adequate place to go, but you’re not gonna see much uber-special stuff here. Still, there were some surprising cars there.
Quality is not going to be the best, these are pasted images hosted on Facebook, because I don’t feel like waiting five hours for these to upload onto Kinja.

Everything I went there with the express purpose of sitting in disappointed me. I didn’t think the new Tacoma or 4runner was comfortable. I quite liked the Bolt. I really liked the seats in the TTS. I didn’t like how the Impreza hatch had a 5 speed. And I don’t know if I can talk you ever again after what you said about the GLE. also are the Recaro in the RS and ST optional because they crush my shoulders.

ST yes, RS probably not.
What’s wrong with the GLE?
I skipped the Taco and 4Runner because they’re both heavily outdated and don’t interest me. I was disappointed at the lack of Land Cruiser, though the LX is close enough.

I believe you cannot call it a CUV if you can’t fit an adult in the back seat. I didn’t fit.

Looks like a good use of an afternoon.

eThe 2017 Acura NSXGT3 looks incredible, and I did see it in person. Perhaps that exact same model. Anyways, it looks sort of fake. Windows have extreme tint, and the carbon fiber engine cover looks fake since it has no slats. And then all the carbon fiber looks fake.
That’s a Subaru? I could’ve sworn I was looking at a Volvo C30!

You have good taste in cars, sir. Great photography skills as well! You covered the show quite well, if only I could do the same.

I’m glad I’m not the only one that was skeptic on the NSX, I just wanted to have the benefit of the doubt.
The C30 comparison is a good thing right?

I appreciate it! My method was literally take a picture and sit in everything.

Just looked closer at the NSX’s vents , and they look to be fake. Also, yes, C30 = good.
