Lincoln and Scion
It's funny how when people think of Lincoln, they think of old people. Now old people are flocking to Scions, which are supposed to be the youth-only brand. It's so funny when brand marketing falls flat on its face.

looks like a sick ass car show. i remember the Scion stand in Seattle looked exactly like that and to me they got the most creative award except they had a sexy white tC with gold rims. The mazda stand looks amazing with them building a clay model infront of you.

yeckmohr 11-18-2007 02:37 PM

Oh man - the white C 63 looks amazing.

The Bullitt Mustang is also a fantastic car on the streets back again -
thanks for sharing these show pics.

I get drunk sometimes at the show. I wish they wouldn't sell beer there, but, whatever.

Vansquish 11-20-2007 03:00 AM

The Vector would be much more interesting if it wasn't so poorly-done. It looks unfinished, and too much like a kit car for its own good. The fact that it's using mid-90's Toyota Supra headlights and indicators doesn't help at all...

I was just kidding, by the way. It's just so crowded and from where I was, I couldn't fit the entire car in the shots, so yeah. I'll post more pics later today.

Yeah, I figured your angles were because of the lack of locations having to do with the crowd. Hell, you should have gone last night, there was no one there. The LA Auto Show has lost the luster it once had. There isn't as much care or creativity put into the displays like there used to be years ago. Kentia Hall, which is usually always crowded with cars, was actually lacking in cars and had tons of unused space.

The only reason I even really go now is to continue a tradition of going with my father. This year was my 30th consecutive year, starting back when I was 2. I will be going again on Wednesday though. My girlfriend has never seen a car show on this scale, so I figured it would be cool for her to check it out.

I went on friday, which was the opening day. It took me and my friend 10 mins just to get in. And I thought it was pretty good with lots of premiers and all, but I do agree that the Kentia Hall was pretty much empty, except for all the nasty bling tats that should be shot.

Thanks mate for this nice LA motorshow cover, I very like the beautiful Volvo S80 Heico concept and the mighty Mustang GT500KR. :thumbup:

Is it possible to repost the first two great Porsche 997 GT2 pictures, I think there's a problem with Imageshack or something, I can't click on them. Thanks in advance. ;-)

Sorry. I haven't checked MW during the Thanksgiving week. I'll do that along with the other pics from the show. I've just been very lazy lately.
