No problem on the post. I was lucky to get to go so I don't mind sharing. There was also this lime metallic green IS-C there. It was a bit much for my taste and all the pictures I took had someone in the shot. The Lexus booth was really busy even though it was not in the actual convention center building. Lots of interest in the LFA.

Here is a picture I found online of the lime green machine.

I wish I could had gotten a better shot of that GS. This dude kept getting up on it and would not leave. Also I was surprised that I only saw 1 3rd gen GS there. I was expecting more.

Overall, not much love for the imports vehicles, but there was a TON of american muscle there. The Camaro was everywhere. I guess that was the car of choice this year.

Everything else is goodness, though. Thanks for the pics, OP!
Give it to me for a week!

It is a crime. Most people just don't see it the way we do.

It was outside Between the North and South hall right next to the Motor Trend proving ground. They had a tent set-up.

Good point. I heard the tower brace is CF, but the rest looks boring.
