Bro at least you were able to take pics. I took like 4 pics at the show. This year I went later in the day on Saturday, and it was more than packed. Its actually kind of stupid to takes pictures with all those people around. Oh well, telling by the pics you took, it doesnt look crowded at all. When did you go?? During the week??

I would really hate to be the lot guy at the MB dealership. It looks over crowded. Thats rediculous and no fun at all for those who have to find cars.

The LF-A is absoultely stunning in person. There was a huge crowd around that concept.

You my friend took a hell of a lot of pictures. I was thinking about going back this Saturday. I guess I dont have too now.

I went yesterday (thursday) around 1pm... I thought it was pretty crowded when I went, but I doubt it was as crowded as it would be on a Sat. lol I did have to wait to take some of the pics because people would just stand by the car and not even be looking at it.

The Benz dealer was like khaos man.. They were even parking cars on the second floor IN the shop behind the cars that were already in a bay. It was crazy

Gotta agree...the Volvo looks pretty sweet. The only thing that bugs me is how the rear fender flare stops so abruptly where it meets the black strip. Kind of ruins the flow.

Please, thats not even the best part. That V8 is tuned to produce around 650hp.
How about that for all those soccer moms out there. Know one thought that Volvo had the sources to produce a monster like this.

I also took a few pics at the auto show. Just the ones that caught the attention of my wife

The first one we saw was the yellow Lambo Gallardo at the Exotics section very close to the entrance. You can also get a pic of yourself with a model there, but I think it's safe to say we opt for just the beauty on wheels better

The Zephyr inside. Not feeling the wood steering wheel configuration, but the center console looks pretty nice and simple.

Modified Beetle (racing stripes, lowered suspension, wheel setup, mirror blinkers (from the old E-class?). Doesn't look too bad at all

Inside the Beetle. The steering wheel is definitely something else, and the gray leather interior goes well with the rest of the car.
