2008 Los Angeles Auto Show!

The 2008 LA Auto Show pretty much came and went without much fanfare. I can't blame them, the economy has been terrible and the auto industry has been hit from all sides. Sales are down from past years and banks are simply not lending money for leases and purchases. Compared to the 2006 Auto Show, the 2008 show are very tame. There was a lack of concept cars and it seemed that most manufacturers stayed away from the flashy stuff. Nissan was probably the most fun to visit since they had the GTR and the new 370Z on display. Those two rockets are certainly fun to look at...I can only imagine how much fun the are to drive...
The best looking ride of the show was probably the Buick Riviera. That car just looked so sexy and sleek. I am going to stay away from the "sex on wheels" comment since I consider that ridiculous. Kudos goes to the Chevy Camaro in black (with those mean red eyes). I was a bit turned off at the fact that Hyundai Genesis coupe was practically a clone of my G37. Boo! to you Hyundai for being a leech! The Mustang looks upgraded, but I don't think it can compete with the Camaro in the looks department. I also decided to spare you the pain of having to look at a pic of the interior of a Dodge Challenger RT...it's pretty depressing.
