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...

Nice pic's as usual HRC

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
It's the time that we kill that keeps us alive...

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)

I love that colour and the go man orange, people need to choose more outlandish colours as cars nowdays are soooooooooooooooo boring

Roadkill

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

I'd have one.

Cunning Plan

I think you are all forgetting the most important thing....  Wheres the pictures of the model girls?
1968 VW T2 Bay Bus (currently being restored and upgraded)
1999 Jeep Cherokee XJ (modern classic daily driver)

Motorama

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
