The evo battery died in the 5 min it took to wash in the drive threw :picard:

And no mention of the IS-F that was slideways all the way up the ramp to enter the building… THAT CAR IS DAMN SEXY!!!

Yeah I liked the IS-F, however I’m not a fan of that car brand really, but it looked sick.

I agree. Lexus suffers from a deplorable excess of Toyota’s influence in their styling.

Boring.

But the IS-F is pretty bad-ass.

Kinda have the same outlook on lexus as I do acura.

Same car, minor exterior modifications, and more loaded trim levels.

However, every year the cars are looking much more luxurious and fantastic compared there base level counterparts.

IS-F was pretty nice, of course checked out the new TDI…

Was very disappointed with the WRX, shifter felt like the one I had in my 2003 Kia :fail:

Anxious to see some of these cars on the road

I’m heading there today to kill some time, and I got free passes.  
Going to try and convince the wife that we need a 2010 Camaro 🙂

I think I’m too lazy to drive to Toronto for the auto show this year.

I went Thursday night, sure its not very big but not much else to do in buffalo lately.

The WRX was kind of a disappointment on the interior quality.  
I was surprised on the genesis sedan, it was super comfortable and spacious  
except for the color, I liked the 370Z overall int/ext  
That ZR1 was so hott but they did not let you sit in it, and I was surprised it was not closed off from getting close to like the camaro was.

Went there for maybe 1.5 hours. Talked to Mark from SCAP and a few other from dealers I know.

They seemed to have more cars there this year, and more people. But it is Buffalo and that’s about all we can get here.

Why in the downstairs left was almost every car silver? Nothing popped.

Still a fan of the Camaro. Even though I’ve seen about every one they brought out so far. Nice 1SS Silver with orange cloth interior.

most dealers I have talked to have been getting great reviews from people who went to the show and sales have been slowly coming back up. Our stores haven’t seen much of a dip but it’s still nice to see and hear good positive news about the auto industry

Meh, It was exactly what I expected. Lots of kids wishing they knew what they were talking about sitting in “sweet” cars, old people looking at the new line up for Lexus and inner city folk asking the sales reps if they can fit 24’s on that Miata over there.
