Attended the Media Preview today for the YVR Autoshow. I think it was better than previous years because of a few juicy cars.  Smiley There were some new unveilings. Overall it was not bad. Chatting with Lacey made it a funner event.  Wink

Here are some images...
Mini Clubman. Mmm... Suicide doors!  Grin.



Interior


Gauge still at the middle.


Ladies and Gentlemen, Toyota is proud to present....



A frickin' aqua blue jellybean! The future of automotive weirdness.  Huh



Ladies and Gentlemen, BMW is proud to present...
(Note the X6 at the background)


M3 Cabby for the ultimate poseur in you!


The new M3 has alot of grip. Sorta like a claw...

Lexus IS-F. The background text says it all don't you agree?  Lips Sealed


Err...Zack, it says "Please Keep Off". I know you're a TV Celeb and all, but still...


Here's what looks to be Hugo Chavez' cousin unveiling the A4 Avant.


Tada!


My personal favourite



Ok that's all for now. I might post more later. Too tired.

It's too bad the sign in the background of that GT-R shot says "Toyota" and not "Nissan".  It would be absolutely perfect, then.  As it is you'll have to make due with only "great".  Smiley

It was great seeing the GT-R in person.

What did you think about the sounds from that M3?   I didn't think it sounded that good at all... my K20 motor emits a much better grunt.
