[Shining Star]

So what do you guys think???

Absolutely incredible pics, especially of the SLS, E63, Sculpture, and Z4...

 

[VroomVroom]

Awesome pictures and cars

Taking pictures of cars at auto shows is impossible, I attended the NEC birmingham autoshow last week and I have a million and 1 pictures with someone in front of my camera..

Late reply, my eyes missed this thread completely!
Fantastic pics Merc! You always deliver with your autoshow pics! Job well done for this year's NAIAS. You fried my laptop too, with all these pics, omg

One thing, did you really like the Mulsanne? Because it looks simply ugly in your pics, even from the side...

 

[Merc1]

The Mully ugly? Come on klier....lol. It is no such thing. It is one of the best looking Bentleys ever IMO.

[klier]

I ask because I have yet to see it irl, and in some pics it looks ugly to me, and some very pretty

But thanks for the answer, your Z4 pics in particular are hot

 

[ateekt]

Nice coverage & hot machines! Thanks for sharing the show!

Great effort Marcus, what did you think of the Merc sculture ? Did it really give you a precise idea of the upcoming car or was it too much sketchy and caricatural ?

The sculpture itself was interesting, but it only gives you a very foggy idea of the actual CLS.

If things don't pic up at Detroit, I might switch my yearly trip to New York in April. There are too many brands starting to go missing at Detroit now.

^Well at least Detroit will be far better then my local DC Auto Show that starts tomorrow.

I already have a feeling that the Mulsanne won't even be there. We will probably just get the Flying Spur and CGT again (WHICH SUCKS)! Probably won't even see the SLS.

 

[Merc1]

Yeah that is pretty bad...same here in Dallas. Its either Chicago, NY, LA or Detroit in the U.S.

M

 

[HighestOfHigh]

^True...Of course maybe in 2011 I'll go over to Frankfurt Auto Show. Far better then what we get here. And Detroit use to be the best too.

 

[Yaz]

What happened last year, you were supposed to come to NYC?

 

[SDNR]

It is highly desirable. Quite a lot of Audi and BMW influence in its styling.

Plans fell through.

Looks like you'll get the ESF...
