ASTON MARTIN

Classy and elegant cars as usual, although I personally find the Vantage to be a bit on "porky" side, design wise for an Aston Martin. My favorites were the DBS and DB9.

AUDI

Audi had a pretty visually impressive lineup. Pretty much all of their cars were silver which gave an imposing visual impression and defined the brand as sporty. The new RS6 Avant was impressive and stunning. On the other hand I wasn't very fond of the A3 Cabrio: the proportions just don't fit and it lacks the elegance of most Audi's.

The Audi S8 was lovely as usual and so was the RS4 Cabrio. I'm not a fan of the Audi TT but the TTS looked pretty decent to me. The new Audi A4 Avant was showcased in red, twice. Both of them were extremely lovely to look at. I think the new Audi A4 is perfect inside and out, although it does look a bit too much like the old model. It's still a hottie.

The R8 V12 TDI wasn't here. One of the Audi employees told me that the R8 V12 TDI was only here before the show for press photographers. Once the show started on March 6, it was removed. I thought this was pretty, well, CRAP of them to do. What gives?

BENTLEY

Most high-end luxury manufacturers had their cars sealed off from the public and only allowed serious customers inside their gates to check out the cars. The new Bentley Brooklands looks pretty nice and it sort of reminds me of the Rolls Royce Camargue, one of my favorite Rolls Royces ever.

BITTER

Yep, Bitter and his "major contender", the Bitter Vero were at the show as well. The exterior of this monstrosity says it all. F..... UGLY. At least the interior was decent from a visual quality perspective, but it's not in the same class as the S-Class, A8 etc. - the cars it wants to compete with.


 
Awsome photos once again. The Bitter is a rebadged Holden Statesman with a different nose and re-trimmed interior. I have no idea why Bitter thinks this car can compete against the S class or the 7 series, here in Australia, the Holden cost $60-70k while the basic S class or 7 series cost $180-190k. This Bitter version must be dam special to go up against the MB and the BMW.
 
Anytime guys. :t-cheers:

The only nice thing about the Bitter was the interior - but it's not in the same class as the cars it is intended to compete against. This car has FLOP written all over it too. It looks out of place if placed next to an S-Class, LS, A8 etc.
 
Here's a dumb question for you. Are those engines made by VW? :D

(I suck at simple facts when it comes to non-MB cars!)

Well, good question! The W12 engine was developed by VW…and the 6,75 litre V8 engine of Azure, Arnage and Brooklands is still based on the first 6,5 litre V8, that was first produced in 1959!!! So the base for the 6,75 is nearly 50 years old! :usa7uh: Awesome…:bowdown::bowdown:
