Good to see the Autoshow back in BC Place.

Also got a free yo-yo from Scion! :fuckyea:

I've seen someone rolling around in that blue Jaguar on the streets just yesterday. Unless it was on it's way to the car show.

Is it oopen today the autoshow?

^^ dont see why not. Show is between 3rd-8th.

Yeah it's open, parents just left without me :alone:

Thanks to OpenRoad for the free tickets. I went to the VIAS yesterday at 7pm and it was PACKED. I think the show was as good as last year. Unfortunately there was not enough free swag to get.

Highlights:
You can sit in the CLS63 AMG. It is so nice inside.
You can sit in the C63 AMG. Same thing.
You can sit in 370Z and other mildly expensive cars. I like this part a LOT.
The new Genesis Coupe is a lot better in person. I like it.
The wheel gap on the BRZ and FRS...4x4 status.

Stupid jim Patterson Toyota didn't give me the tickets cause the receptionist wasnt there

going tonite! excitedd!!!

:rukidding: I was there around that time and it was definitely not pack at all. Might have been partly cause there's a Canucks game going on last night. Pack? Try visiting on a weekend day...or the Chinese Sunday.

Pictures of some sports cars at the Auto Show. -definitely a better show than last year in terms of cars available to view.

Highlights: Ferrari 458 Italia with stereo installation by Avex. One of the business partners at the Avex booth said his business partner installed a $90,000 stereo system on the 458. Four subwoofers, in addition to the amplifiers, LED lighting etc.

I asked the guy what car he drove. He said "The Bentley Flying Spur parked next to the Italia".

Lamborghini Aventador. What an Italian beast!

BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe. A beauty. This car is stunning.

Honda Accord Hybrid coupe. Supercharged engine. -had Vossen wheels on it.

Lexus LFA, Audi R8 V10, and the Mercedes SLS AMG roadster are also at the show.

^ that flying spur was gross imo....half the car was gray matte wrap with red pinstripe :heckno:

Was pretty packed, wasn't really in a mood to shoot but here's what I took:

How many cars there have power on at the show? Something i loved to do at the last auto show i went to is to start fiddling with all the electronics, also flickering the high beams at people was funny.

There was no receptionist for me either. Sales guy helped me out though.

When I was checking the car out, the guy next to me was educating his SO about how Garson/DAD was what the Aujuny booth was ripping off.

Speaking of the Aujuny booth, I picked up a catalog from their coffee table to browse and got yelled at by a C-lai rep who only knew the word 'NO'. Stared me down as I checked out their shitty seat and Rota'd Fit. Left before she equipped herself with a feather duster.

LOL I was screwing around with the hazards, HID and brakes on the Land Cruiser and Lincoln MKX. Afterwards chatted with a Lincoln rep about Z33's and S-chassis'.

I guess I'll contribute some pix, but I'm not going to repost the ones we've seen already.

Gotta rep M-Technik on the X5 because everyone knows the X5 is the perfect candidate to represent BMW's motorsport heritage

It was tucking rim even when no one was inside

What's the difference between a Dealer pass and a regular pass? Anyone know? Lol

The BRZ/FR-S needs a drop really bad. Five fingers of wheel gap, what were they thinking!?

Seriously?
Did he gave you tickets or what ?

... Oo
I didn't see you lol
I did see donut, jpark, jgresch, Vdub604 working the kia booth and I went with VDUB333 although he ditched me...

I never really looked in to them before but these new plug in hybrids are ridiculous! Close to $40k for a car that could really compare with a yaris :/ Chevy volt was pretty cool but the leaf and the imiev(?) just feel so unsubstantial.

As ugly as it was the chevy orlando impressed me with the sheer amount of room in the rear seats in such a small/reasonable package.

Jean stained leather seats on the fiat 500 gucci were pretty funny

Nothing else really comes to mind

You guys were going down the ramp towards the main floor, I was walking the opposite direction leaving haha

Yup. When I walked in and looked towards the reception desk, I saw a guy dusting the doorway to his office (which was directly behind the desk) with his back to me. I stood there and stared for a while like an idiot contemplating whether I should say something but then a salesman approached me to help get my ticket. like everyone else, he asked for my name, scanned thru a long list for mine, crossed it off and handed me my ticket.

I'm so sad.. he didnt give me a chance, he just told me that they were closed today and he was just in to tend to an appointment. was he an asian guy ?

I'm guessing he was Filipino?

oh okay, never mind, the person i saw in the morning was pretty Chinese to me
thanks :)
