phili auto show *pics*

[oaklandopen]

just got back...selection wasn't that exciting. there were more models i wish i could have seen/got in. for instance, you couldn't get in any of the camaros (there were 3), there wasn't an M5, no 911 gt2 or gt3, couldn't get into an sti (nor was there a regular sti from the factory), and a couple other minor discrepencies i had.

i only really took pics of cars that i was interested in, and here are just a few of them

hyundai genesis coupe (not sure if this was the turbo 4 or the v6)
http://f.imagehost.org/0294/genesis_coupe.jpg

some legacy concept (not sure if it was actually alluminum or just non-clearcoated brushed finish)

lambo lp640 (i think that's what it's called) upped the hp and a little lighter than the standard murcielago (sp?)

r8 (this one had the cf option for the side air slot instead of the aluminum)
http://f.imagehost.org/0893/r8.jpg

acr viper that took the nurburgring (signatures on the wing)

zr-1 (one guy saw it and asked someone else how long it takes to get to kurbeck in atlantic city so he could go there and buy one right away, and then he realized it was sunday)
http://f.imagehost.org/0898/zr1.jpg

m3 (this pic was taken cuz i liked how there were little LEDs that lit up the door handle, and it might be a cool little mod to do as well)
http://f.imagehost.org/0408/m3.jpg

and finally the 2010 mazda3 5door and sedan. i was dissappointed in the color choices they had, and VERY upset that i couldn't see what the interior lighting scheme looked like. i was really interested in seeing the driver display and whatnot.

nice pics; if the speed version has the goofy grin looking front end, I will be exceedingly happy that I have the current version.

[08cosmic3]

I don't like the RX-8 like front fenders or the smiley grill

[Smokehouse]

Uggg...those pics just further my supreme hatred for the new 3...there are MANY things I dislike about that thing...the arched front fender (ugly on the new 6 as well), the smiling front, the gigantic rear taillights...not a fan in the slightest.

[madvillian]

yeah i thought i liked the new mazda3, but those are both god awful.

[UHATEIT]

the mazda 3 looks like shit

You mentioned a coupe Hyundai genesis, are you sure? It looks like aTiburon but I could be wrong. Unless they arent going to make the Tiburon anymre and call it a Genesis coupe.

it is anything but a tiburon. 2 engine options will be turbo 4cyl rated around 220 hp, and the v6 will be rated around 310hp i believe. both are rwd

[oaklandopen]

here it is from the backside...i actually like it. still kinda hard for me to overcome the "H" badge though

+1.....me no likey. (headshake

[BadBandar]

Why did they make new 3 look so goofy. It looks like mickey mouse drives his family in it.

The R8 is my dream car. Pure raw sex!

[PCspeed3]

the vette is fly as fuk

[SHaW]

The new hyundai genesis coupe turbo is going to be the new comer in the scene.

[RUMBLEFISH]

Give me that beast of a caddy and I would be very happy.

cts-v
556 hp
0-60 in 3.9

SCCHHHWWWEEEEEEEEET!!!!!

[blkspdfreak]

the new 3 is just to "happy" looking. more so then the rx-8.

[squidmotion]

i'll take 'mean' over 'happy' any day...


way too happy for me.

[RUMBLEFISH]

Somebody should slap the stupid grin off the front of that car. I will say right now I would not buy the car if it looked like that in May when I bought mine.

It just looks plain stupid.

[speed3guy]

Yeah not really feeling the hatch at all!! I really dont even know what to say other than Im not liking it!

[AutoEuphoria]

Mazda3 looks like ass.

"HAI GUYZ CAN I PLAY TOO?" :D

[oaklandopen]

any more comments about any of the other pics i took? haha

[my3needsaname]

Ugh, that new 3 makes me want to sell mine sooner before the price goes down as an out of date model...or keep it and sell it higher because everybody's trying to find a really nice "old" Mazda3 that doesn't look like something from Cars.

[AutoEuphoria]

I would LOVE to own a G8 GXP...maybe someday.

[03.5-dc-speed]

the new hyundai genisus coupe is gonna be sweet i think. the v6 is supposed to have like 310 hp or something close to that. and they are rwd.

[Kain]

I'm headed to the DC Auto Show tomorrow, so I hope to take pics of the Genesis coupe. I'll definitely be keeping an eye on that one now that I'm over the 370z and its crappy headlight design.

i too am keeping a close one on the genisus!

[03.5MSP]

Did you take any pictures from the tuner sections? I'm pretty sure there is suppose to be GTR in there.

[duy856]

370z. I spent a lot of time with this car, but just can't get over the headlights. The overall shape and interior are very, very seckz, however.

Looks better in a higher end model and a different color but still looks like shit.
Variable intensity heated seats are nice to FINALLY be there. center stack looks like crap and the rear 3rd taillight is DOWNGRADED...WTF?!?!?...to a halogen??? Finally a leather wrapped armrest too!! What a concept!!!

Maybe I'm too hard on the new one but I'd still prefer mine (with its problems) over a brand new 2010 one.

[madvillian]

in pictures i absolutely hate the profile of the new nissanZ, but i was driving next to one yesterday and was astonished at how sexy it was.

[oaklandopen]

i really do like the entire 2010 3 except for the front bumper. kain, were you able to sit in the 3 and see what the guages looked like lit up? that was one thing i wanted to see but didn't have a chance to with the models i sat in

I sat in it, and the interior is nice, but I prefer ours. I didn't think to snap a pic of the gauges lit up.

Did Kia Buy out Mazda or what?
