Well I went opening day yesterday. It was definitely a different show from past years, more spread out and easier to get around. Notable missing automakers were Porsche, Nissan and Range Rover. The only notable additions was Lotus. They moved a lot of things from downstairs to upstairs examples were the DUBS, Denso, and two of the Chinese makers were in the mix. The big 3 displays were about the same as past years. Lotus and Aston Martin had car provided by local dealers (at least there was a DBS). White and a deep red were the popular colors. Lambo brought some amazing models and a couple cars. They are all satin finish I will post some pictures later. They aren’t that great due to the point and shoot I used and crazy range of lighting they use at each of the different displays. But for now, for all the haters and Slowpoke: My favorite of the show… ![http://ronoversiii.com/Images/2009_NAIAS/Genesis.JPG](http://ronoversiii.com/Images/2009_NAIAS/Genesis.JPG) Ok maybe not ---

1- I just can’t get into Lambo. I try every year and their design is just too similar among the models. 2- The camaro looks amazing. I LOVE the headlight and taillight design. 3- what am i talking about i cant afford anything i like… some day… nice shots of the show ---
