Frankfurt Auto Show!

So Im gonna try and make this easy. I put all my pictures on my Flickr page...some 280 of them or so. So for any of you crazy car nutz out there, you can browse all the photos.

The show was better than I imagined, but not as good as I thought it would be, does that make sense? Basically it was bigger and more elaborate than any other car show I've been to, but it wasn't mind blowing impressive from some of the car companies. maybe I'm just beginning to get desensitized to this sort of thing. But Mercedes had the best section out of all the manufacturers. Might try to write more on this later...but here goes some of my favorites...

Mercedes.....illuminated floor panels under the cars....soo many people in here...
BMW Concept CS...
The new BMW M3...I have mine on order already....
BMW X6 - the beefy dog of the lineup....proportionally this thing is crazy. way bigger than I imagined, and will look pretty sweet in front of my house.
X6 Rims...twisting double split 5 spokes, for wheel design these things were impressive.
Volkswagen Up!....nice lines and great details. Taillight behind the rear window glass are a new trend...seen on a few cars at the show, but this car hits the small segment perfect. Can't wait to see it on the road.
Renault Laguna. Reminds me a little bit of the Honda Accord coupe from a few years back...the car is not leaping into the future, but has a nice sophisticated look and crisp detail lines. Plus the white on black was a perfect color combo....too bad we won't get these in the states.
Fiat Abarth. Another sweet little hatch I can't have.
Fiat 500 and it's older, much bigger, brother.
Citroen C-Cactus - following on the heels of one of my favorite concepts, the C-Metisse...this car is awesome for its daring pursuit of form language and experimentation.
Artega GT- Big ups to Andrew Leahy...this car is sic in person.
The gang...Allen, Jakob, Curtis, and me.
Long day of walking around the show...time for a three hour train ride back to Munchen.
