Hey guys, I went to the DC Auto Show this weekend and figured I would share some of my pics. Nothing ground breaking, and I didn't take my "good" camera with me, but I still think there was some cool stuff there. I have to admit the domestic market is really stepping things up now! One thing I will say is that I was amazed how swirled up some of these vehicles were. They had "detailers" dusting them a lot though and it was day 6 of the show so they may have arrived in better condition, but I doubt it. Cadillac CTS-V Coupe - SICK! Cadillac Electric Concept - I'm still wondering why an electric car needs huge cross drilled rotors None of the Buick cars were worth taking pictures of, but they had these blue rings around all of their HID lights and I thought they looked pretty cool. 2011 Dodge Charger - I fell in love with this car and plan to go test drive one and hopefully purchase it. Some people say it looks the same, but I think dodge did an AMAZING job with the update for this vehicle. I can't wait to get behind the wheel! Oh and it has an almost 9 inch wide nav screen! Ford Fiesta Rally Car, the special view in the last picture was an accident, I swear...lol Mustang Boss 302 Race car, I'm not a huge mustang fan, but I thought the wheel looked cool Ford Raptor SVT - This is basically a factory desert racer truck. They had some videos of this beast jumping some huge sand dunes. It's gnarly! Camaro Convertible - I must say I'm not a fan. Corvette ZR1 :drool: This thing is sick, however for the $135,000 price tag I would get something slightly more refined I think. Oh the whole roof and front chin spoiler is carbon fiber! Kinda Cool New Hyundai Car Prius C, call me gay, but I think it looks pretty cool. I'm not saying I would own it, but it's neat. Subaru STI Sedan, SOOOOOOOOO Much better than the wagon! Honda CRZ Hybrid Racecar, kinda reminds me of the old CRX mixed with an Insight. 9th Gen Honda Civic, I used to own a 2006 Si (8th gen) and I can say I think all of the changes for this gen were for the worse. I think to body doesn't flow at all and they are talking about only adding 10 HP to the Si model. Also there was no interior in this car, but I'm not holding my breath for anything spectacular. Random awesome Audi sexiness! BMW M1 and Z4. Both very slick looking cars IMO Kia something or other. Thought it looked really cool in flat black. It was paint not a wrap if anyone cares. Some random classics Some SCCA race cars. i love the second gen RX7 that is a rally cross car. The owner was super cool and I think we talked to HER for over an hour. Very cool sport! Ok thats all I got. again sorry for no high quality pics. It was pretty crowded and some people just don't want to let you take a picture without running into you or walking in front of the camera. Overall it was a great show and I'm glad i took the time to go!
the wheel gap on the charger along with the ultra chrome wheels and grill are terrible. The tail lights are sweet. The sharp angles on the civic look out of place around the fender wells. I am with you on the Prius, it looks sharp. The dirty rx-7 is great and the raptor is a beast.
I agree the first two things I would change if I did get the charger would be the wheels and the suspension. Needs to be lower and have some half way decent wheels on it. :mounty:
thanks for the pictures. i haven't been able to get to the auto show, so it was nice to @ least see some great photography.
And check this out on the new A6: The new A6 can also be outfitted with all-LED headlights – a major technological innovation from Audi. The white light they emit is similar to daylight; at night, it is gentler on the eyes. The LED headlights are long-lasting, maintenance-free, and highly efficient; at low beam, each unit requires just 40 watts of power.
