600hl? sigh, seeing it in person didn't help at ALL unfortunately. it still doesn't flow well at all, doesn't have the elegant presence of the pre-facelift. i didn't say anything and i asked my wife to look at the car, this is what she said'
"the taillights are too big, i like it smaller like ours so the car looks wider"
"what's wrong with the grille? they trying to join acura?" (that cracked me up)
"the new bumper is bad, especially the fogs. they don't blend well with the car at all, lost the slickness that's on ours"
so there you go.
in fact, most of the cars i saw at the show, they didn't impress me better or worse in person vs seeing online.

Just got back from the LA Autoshow and there didn't seem to be a lot of people on the opening day.
I do agree with Henry about the Audi display. It's very bright, white and tastefully done.
I wanted to see the Cadillac CTS coupe in person and I do have to say it looks tons better in real life than in pictures. One has to see it in person to appreciate it.
