Not been to a motor show in a few years so it was all very enjoyable, there wasn't *that* much there, and the stands were very basic compared to what I remember from years ago (they did used to be somewhat over the top though really, the money being spent was crazy).

There were a few tasty cars there though.
The new Camaro Convertible

Personally I'm not keen on the interior, it's certainly very retro inside...

It sure has presence though, those rear arches are proper wide!!!

The Corvette ZR1

OK, I *know* it has the Nurburgring record, but seriously, it *looks* proper quick...

The new Cadillac CTS

The new Focus RS

I for one am glad to see the return of an actual spoiler and bonnet vents.

Peugeot Coupe

The one they had on Top Gear. Doesn't look as god in the flesh imho

This would be better...

Hybrid and electric cars were everywhere and the motorshow tradition of cutting cars in half is still going strong (yay!)

I rather liked this little 2 seater by Honda:

Expect to see LED lights on your next car...

or maybe just a normal bulb behind a cover...

I like the new Camaros, they;re a bit late, but at least its there I guess. That focus RS looks like someone sneezed... bad colour hopefully

Here's a random question... why don;t you see more cars with a central driving position... they would probably work as a 5 or 6 seater arrangement.

(Question came from the 'car cut in half pic' because the front seat looks a bit central, even though its not)

Damn those new Caddy's look cool. I hate modern cars, generally, but that Caddy looks cool.

I'd have one.

I think you are all forgetting the most important thing.... Wheres the pictures of the model girls?

Motorama · « **Reply #11 on:** July 25, 2008, 08:58:03 am »

I think the Camaro looks awsome, wether the retro thing works or not, it's got a very distinctive style.

The C6,s are cool but the chrome wheels on that one look too blingy and whats that thing in the middle of the bonnet (hood)

Also thing the new Cadillac looks awsome

It's clear plastic window in the carbon fibre hood so that you can see the painted plastic engine cover underneath
