sorry about the poor quality of the pictures... i had to resize them and drastically shrink the quality... they were 1600x1200 originally, at around 350 KB/picture.  eventually i'll somehow upload all the pictures i took if anyone's interested.  also sorry that some of them are blurry or appear out of focus: with all the people walking around, it was hard to get a picture of a clear view of the car(s), so sometimes i just had to hold up the camera and take the picture.  most of the pictures are without a flash, which would've removed the 'blur' and made it sharper, but it was hard to adjust the camera, because everything was so shiny and polished.

I'm all for that Ford GT.

Did you get to see the new Mustang? Is it as good in real life as in the pictures? :D

As much as I hate to say it, that Ford GT is pretty nice looking... :shaking: (The world must be ending soon, I like a Ford)

But like Clave said, there's alot of uglies in those pics. That Lexus... is... strange. To say the least.

Why did Toyota have an MR2 there? I thought the 06 model year was supposed to be it's last? Like the Celica?

The Carrera GT is one car I would love to drive (or just sit in since they would take one look at me a say "No test drive for you!" :). I've been drooling over it since the first time I saw a picture. Never seen one in person though as  I missed the car show this year in Montreal. Ah well.

Thanks for the shots!

Would you please not torture me with pictures of unobtainable beauty? Post a Volkswagen, or a Pinto. Those are more in the line of what i can manage with my current possessions.
:D
No Freespace 3 ?!? Oh, bugger...

the Lexus, i assume (as well as many people at the show) is supposed to look like a fish. if you look at the body lines, and the "blue" lights, and the blue lights in the interior.  it's very unique though... none of those fancy gauges or anything.  the whole design of the inside is like nothing i've seen before

i don't know about the MR2... they only had one, and it wasn't being showed off like the rest, i mean it wasn't on a turntable or anything, and it was open, so you could get in and test it out
