What is that first one? Looks sort of Nissan-ish. I like! I like that Civic too over all those big high dollar names.

Yeah, I was planning on going but between valentines day last weekend and the somewhat decent weather the past couple days I didn't make it down there.

other than the viper, vette and GT they're ALL imports...



EDIT: what's the one between the civic and the maybach? that that shelby thing that was all chrome at the other shows this year? ...looks a lot like a db-9 from that angle, but that's a ford too.

Supposed to be the New Jaguar XK replacement.

Link to old car: http://www.jaguar.co.uk/uk/en/vehicl...k__Thumbnail_4

From the A pillar back it does look a lot like a DB9. Not sure how well it will sell when the new DB7 comes out! All ford though!

Nice pictures, but I think car manufacturers should really get away from that pukey orange color.

Ah man and I thought it looked pretty good on that Porsche. Pretty sporty color.

Meh. Someone needs to tell Ford to stop using those "Edge" angles. Check the typical one at the rear on the headlight... ...and the one where the hood meets the quarter-panel just under the A-pillar.
Vile.

And for that matter, someone needs to tell VW/Audi to stop using their trademark angles/sweeps - for example the one sweeping from under the headlights to over the hood on that Arnage.

Mustang, GT40 and Vette win the looks competition for me.
If it doesn't scare hippies, it's not worth listening to

I can see why they are doing that. They totally ****ed up the marketing for the new VW with all the flower power and whatnot. They accidentally made the car look like it was purely for chicks. I guess they are trying to turn it around with that sport bug.

As for this? I am in love:
