Maybe this is the wrong thread as I don't actually go to work any more so I wasn't technically on my way. ;D
And you weren't going to the Benz dealer either!

I saw my first Tesla here in Saint John the other day. With no gov incentives in NB and being a "have not" province EV's are relatively rare around here.

Saw two very clean W126s, a 300SD and a 420SEL. Love those cars.

I agree, even though it is an Alfa.

Sporty SUVs are so stupid.

They do make a ton of money for the manufacturer though, because "marketing-lapping yuppies with too much money and not enough self-esteem" buy them in droves.

On the way to the gym this afternoon I saw a Cayenne embedded into the back of a Boxster.  Huh.

For that crowd, DS has the perfect véhicule: The DS 7 Crossback ! Which actually in this top-spec "Executive" finition, is a welcome different sort of crossover. Lookit that stylish interieur....and sorry the Night Vision picture came out rather badly on the mobile.

I actually thought the Stelvio looked quite good in person.

Saw an older Acura MDX with a big Browning decal in mossy oak camo colour on the back window.....don't know why, found a gun decal on an import soccer mom assault vehicle quite funny.

No pic because cell phone law, but it happened.

Going down the 15 towards the Champlain bridge. Heavy traffic, construction going on. About ten cars ahead of me, something looks very low, very wide, very exotic. I inched my way up in the e-tron, managed to see the tell-tale brake lights and I knew what it was. Traffic cleared up as we got on the bridge, but the beast stayed left. I passed a wall of  trucks on the rightmost lane and got a clear view at the thing while it snapped a few luscious cracks and pops. Passed it, saw headlights that reminded me of the animated dragon Toothless when in a bad mood.

All black Lamborghini Huracan Spyder with black wheels.

Same day I saw a Wraith near the office. And a new NSX. The Money people are still driving their toys thanks to the fantastic fall weather we're having.

Hermosa Blue (I looked it up) Infiniti Q70. What an absolutely brilliant colour.  :drool:

Also, the Infiniti website insists on a postal code. I used the one for the Legislature, S4S 0B3.

A car with manufacturer plates and black vinyl camo in downtown Montreal! Not something we usually see out here, was probably doing promo shoots or something. Silver 4 door sedan with trunk, looked like it came from a premium brand by the wheels and what trim I could see. It got away while I stopped at a red light... >:(

Just saw the new Camry. SE trim in dark grey metallic. The front looked much better than expected in person.

^^^  With the V-6, I think it's the winner in the family sedan market right now.  Dropping the D4S V-6 in the Camry makes it amazing.  I like the looks, the interior is nice, and for a FWD sedan with a ton of room, it would be my choice hands down.

That new V6 and the 8speed are real sweethearts in that new Camry.

The V-6 only comes fully equipped, no lower option models at all with that engine.  But, at $40K, you get a lot of car.  It sounds like a lot for a Camry, but when you go through and see what you get, it's not bad.

The real value in the Camry line is the $31K Hybrid.

One for Charo - posted on my friend Jelena's FB page.  She is currently in Cuba.  Interesting change from the old US iron and the Ladas and Moskvitches.

Fantastic. I loved Cuba. There is a decent amount of classic European cars about there but no one ever photographs them. I don't remember seeing anything that new though.
