la auto show 2012

some pics from the la auto show...it is definitely scaled down with a lot less cars...almost no exotics and a few prototypes...it wouldn't have been much more different if i had just gone to the auto square and looked around...i would have saved on gas and admission and probably would have gotten some free donuts and coffee from the car dealerships

bentley continental that will race next year in a few gt3 races...this one is over 2000 lbs lighter than the regular one below...gonna be fun to see it go up against the likes of porsche and ferrari...

regular road version of the one above...i would buy this if i were a billionaire

porsche cayman...a porsche that i could realistically afford when i hit my high 40s to early 50s...just in time for the stereotypical mid-life crisis although technically i'm already at my "mid-life"

a nice fast wagon...one of the few american cars i would consider getting if i were rich, but i would need a new seat installed...they did a very poor job in designing the seat...

special "hot wheels" edition camaro...it was made by chevy and hot wheels for this year's sema...i was able to get one at a recent k-mart hot wheels collector day

the camaro is one of the few american cars that i like...visibility from inside the car is terrible though

jaguar xfr-s, their m5 fighter...finally, a jaguar that i like or is it because it looks similar to the volvo below?...either way, this is a good car for jaguar..
polestar volvo s60...if i were a billionaire, i would buy this
polestar c30...they need to make both into production cars

bmw m5...they had nothing else good...i was hoping they would have the m1 since they're supposed to be working on a new version of it

i wish they made a production version of the hsv-10 instead...acura/honda need a car to go against the gt-r and lfa, but this one doesn't look like a good candidate to me
imagine this as a production car...much better than the concept above

cars can have a soul...it's not a soul in the spiritual sense, but their design and engineering spark a passion with people...it is similar to looking at a great painting or some other work of art...there is some intangible quality that separates it from being just a box with wheels
