LA Autoshow 2010

 So I decided to go down to the La Autoshow. I hadn't been in a few years, and its nice to go see cars up close and sit in them and what not. First up is Mazda, Love me some Mazdas.



Pictures are the RX-8, Shinari concept and race versions of the Mx-5 and Mazdaspeed 3, respectively. Honestly I was surprised to see the RX-8 there, because I heard they were bringing the RX-7 back because of how unpopular the RX-8 was.
Next up is Scion. Scion had all their models out in OEM and modified form. They even had the New iQ on display. Surprisingly it seated four (or three if I were to drive it) and had a fair amount of leg room in the front. Pictured is the 2011 TC in OEM form, then a modified version.


On the EVO / STI end of things Mitsubishi showcased a new version of the EVO MR that will feature a sunroof and leather seats. I'm not a fan. I am a fan of the new STI sedan. This particular one was slightly modified  and lapped the Nurburgring in some ridiculously fast time.
For those of you who like American cars... Here's Bumblebee.
HOndas attempt to make the CR-Z Sporty. I guess... But they should just bring back the CRX and Put a K20 in it.
VIP anyone? LS460 I believe. Slammed, big wheels, yum! and since we're on the subject of Lexus.






The LFA was on display. Look at those brakes! Massive!

 Didn't get any specs on this 6-series coupe. But its a BMW, so I'm guessing-its fast and handles well. And for those of you who prefer the Mercs.

There ya go.




The Autoshow was an awesome experience. getting to sit in and see cars up close. These were just some of the cars that caught my eye. Hope you enjoyed.
