Vyp, the VIII was the first lancer evo brought to America. So that's all you'll see here, until the IX and X are made in the next few years.

yeah they're making cars.  there are 7 maybachs in Houston, and they cost in the high $300,000s to get apparently (i was speaking to the Maybach representative).  it really is an amazing car though.  here's some more pictures i took of it:

My first thought: Damn, those cars have some nice shine maps.

Yeah, I think it's time to lay off the SCP for a while.... do you know how many gun mounts they have? Missile capacity?

Most of those cars are the pure definition of sex on wheels. :D

The Lancer has one of the most ridiculous ricer wings I've ever seen, though. :p

Stop posting ass-end pics, gives us some sides and fronts! :D

And what is that sexy car in the background? The red one? Looks like a Ford muscle car.

that, sir, was the muscle car section... the whole show was new and concept cars, but they had one section dedicated to the cars that started it all:  the 60s and 70s muscle cars... there were too many to take pictures of all of the muscle cars, but i took of the ones that stood out i think.  still, i'm not entirely sure what kind that red one is.  here's some more pictures:
















this is the inside of the Lexus concept car... note the projection of the road by the gauges... :)

Have any more shots of the all new eclipse? Looking at it in a colour that isn't that pissy green or orange colour makes it look a little more attractive than the blob it was.

All of the concept images I've seen were this orangy yellowy red colour. Ugly. Ugly ugly ugly. I absolutely hated the concept images they showed.
The front end of the car is nice. I may even go as far as to say i like it. But the rear... the lights are too small and too high on the 'ass' of it.

And trust me, I know very well what the first, second and third gen's look like. And how to differentiate between years. ;)

1) Laser, Talon, Eclipse
2) Talon, Eclipse
3) Eclipse
4) Eclipse

I want the Talon back. :(
