There’s something about the smell of new cars that always makes me feel good ;) Especially after checking my iPhone and seeing the nice 427 point drop today…YIKES. Okay, back to better news. Let’s start with Nissan - releasing the all new Cube and 370Z. Hats off to an amazing release - great audio/video and some really cool technology marketing wise. As usual CLICK on the pics for higher res:


Rear wrap around window was super slick. A bit smaller inside than a Scion XB IMO, but cool car nonetheless.


A much prettier car in person, I know the styling is controversial - but I actually like the blending of old and new in the 370.

 

Honda’s new Prius-killer…looks…well, like a Prius LOL. Nothing new here, same info that’s been released in the past 3 months.

This car was quite interesting…perhaps the next gen CRX? Would love to see the revival of the “hot-hatch”

Give the gift of Mercedes for Christmas lol - Yes, those are full size cars in there.

The Brabus GLK…not sure how I feel about the “compact SUV” set just yet.
 
New Lotus…looks like a grown-up, larger Elise/Exige. I was a little disappointed with this car, it’s all about price-point and will be very interested to see the HP output and engine used as Lotus has been using Toyota Celica engines for the Elise/Exige lineup.


Aston DBS…whoa nelly. English beauty right there…spot on…spot on.

Gumpert Apollos - pure track action right here
 
Orange you glad I took these pics? Cheesy, I concur.

 

I was really disappointed that Ferrari didn’t bring out the “Spud” (Scuderia Spider 16m) a few pics of the Cali (I’m going…going…back…back)

 

and now for the tuners…

GMG representing as usual…Gallardo? They’re tuning G’s now? Uh oh.
 

DJ & our friends at TeamSpeed Rep’n

Best for last…Mansory’s first display in the US. GAME OVER. Talk about class…these guys are straight killin it. CEC who? Sorry Claus. Apparently Ogara is the distributor for Mansory in the US and they just bought Rinspeed which should be REAL interesting.
