No, actually they've relocated it to Richmond Lexus on the second floor next to the LFA.

Oh sorry guys, fuck some of you are brutal, it was there a few months ago and was for years. Sorry for trying to help.

Yeah, you're such a prick

JSALES 03-25-2016 10:19 AM

Are the cars parked outside the convention centre there for the 5 days or is it different cars parked everyday?

IINur 03-25-2016 10:35 AM

I think it was smth like wed-exotics, thur-trucks, friday-imports, sat- can't remember, sun -imports

Went to the show last night, loved it.

Side note about the show, I was shocked at the lack of interest in the new R8. The Audi area was crowded but all the people were gathered around the new A4 and the Q3 (which was actually pretty nice), I only saw a couple people actual go by the R8 and look it and this was the R8 V10 plus model on display.

I personally think Audi dropped the ball with the new R8, it looks very bland in person and I still prefer gen 1.

Also there was big crowds around Lambo, Porsche which was right across and has the 918 and GT3RS on display basically had a few people gathered around. Interesting to see what kind of cars people who are not car enthusiast levitate towards.

its different. wednesday there were exotics out front. f12, aventador sv, huracan, 570s etc. thursday there were offroad vehicles, lifted jeeps and couple pickups. today theres a spotlight on modified japanese cars.

IINur 03-25-2016 01:18 PM

Went for a walk today and stopped by to see what they had outside today. Nothing you wouldn't see at RS meet or Cars and Coffee.But that's us, the car guys, I'm sure the general public never seen any of it up close. Also, the amount of people :heckno: Glad I went on wednesday, you can't even get close to take a picture today

Euro7r 03-25-2016 02:56 PM

The Ford RS and Acura NSX were the only vehicles I enjoyed seeing in person.

Too many kids and people even going on a Thursday.

* LOST & FOUND*

Hey guys on the off chance it was someone on here I found a super expensive Sony High Def Walkman in the Kia K9000 at the auto show today... It has a couple very distinguishing marks on it, but I turned it into the lost & found at the convention centre so if it's your you can claim it if you can identify the model# to them and the distinguishing marks on it.

I had industry tickets for Wednesday and went that night, managed to sneak in a few shitty pictures on my phone. I bet the lines for the driving simulators at Lexus and Ford will be insane this weekend. Then again, I was only mostly interested in the Cayman GT4, and how surprisingly roomy the Mini Clubman was.

BBMme 03-25-2016 05:21 PM

Prefer this year over last year. More exotics compared to last I think, and jaguar is my fav display

jpark 03-25-2016 08:35 PM

Lol even with the sea of exotics. The new Honda civic blew me away the most when I sat inside (the top of the line turbo model with the led headlights). They've put some serious quality effort into interior fit and finish.. almost thought I was sitting in an Acura!

Went late last night, stupid friends wasted all our precious time at the entrance and even more time on the toy car races, and the Buick contest form, so we only had 10mins to rush through -_- could barely snap any pics definitely not decent ones :/

The new Infiniti Q60 is hot

Ikkaku 03-26-2016 09:16 AM

The free NOS energy drink was a nice touch! Did they have it last year too? Last year I think they were handing out small travel sized shampoo :lol

Definitely agree with jpark's assessment of the new civic. The purple colour was pretty nice too. My main nitpick of the car is how cheap the steering wheel controls felt.

My friend was also in awe of the tri-mode power step from the GMC Sierra. The fully loaded one was really nice!

Huge fan, could be my new front runner for favourite luxury SUV design

keifun 03-26-2016 11:59 AM

Was there on Wednesday,

Dunno why all the ugly MM design GTRs were outside under the tent; meh.

As for the the rest of the show, it was worth it.

pastarocket 03-26-2016 06:49 PM

The white and red La Ferrari's are soo sick! :chairdance:

The funny thing at the show was seeing a Benz S class at the DUB Show tent outside in the plaza and not inside the convention centre because MB did not show up at the show.
:lawl:

-took pictures at the show today:
