2011 Minneapolis Auto Show (HUGE PIXORS!)

[awd-drifter]

Went yesterday and yeah...it's what I was expecting. Went with a few old co-workers from the tire shop and overall; Hyundai and Kia stepped up there game BIG time. A majority of the major automotive manufacturers are going green. No Nissan GTR...I was disappointed. I envy you guys who own an X...such a nice and 'comfy' ride. :P Anyways, Scion still is trying to reel in the FAF generation I believe and they seem to be marketing it pretty darn well. Honda's CRZ, is...CRZ. There is one parked right across from my work place and it's okay. The red Tuned CRZ looked fairly nice. In my opinion, the sexiest car there was probably the Corvette ZR1...335-20-20 rears (IIRC) just insane because I can't imagine installing those tires...wowsers. Anyways, enjoy!

I'm really dissapointed in 2 things.

1. The Honda CR-V looks kinda sweet, minus the wing.
2. That blue subaru looks like dump.

Great pics! Anna is actually begging me to go....I think she wants a new car.

We also went this weekend. It was better this year than it has been in a couple years.

Mitsu finally came this year, and had an Evo (last year no mitsu, previous two years no Evo.) But from talking with the guy from brookdale at the show, Mitsu was not going to go but the three local dealers got together and put up the cash to be at the show and supplied the cars. So big props to the local dealers if they see this, I think it was definilty worth your cash, thats a big audience!

Scheides, you should take Anna. Its fun to walk and look at some of the cars you normally wouldn't go look at, as well as sit in some cars and see how they are.

What did you use to take those pictures and did you photshop them at all?

[A//// Guy]

Cool pics. I really dont like what audi is doing for styling. Im glad bmw is picking their cars back out of the garbage in the looks department.

I think its great that Scheides and Suzuki teamed up together to do a reenactment of the barrel roll maneuver from the cruise.

Fah-queue!

I ps'd most of them. It sucks because I accidentally was deleting some pictures from dated pictures and deleted some of the Vette and Lexus pictures. I'll post those up from my brother's camera. All around the show was pretty good, I did sit in alot more cars this year than all the other years I've gone but this is probably the first time I've gone since...03.

[goodhart]

wow, great pics man. Didn't realize they were so nice, I was just looking at them on my phone last night.

Some of the full body shot pictures make the cars look like little toy cars haha
