mazda 6=

they should be fun to test drive

16 or 17 " rims forget that. What about the 300Hp TURBO motor that runs mid-low 12's . That thing is a rocket. WOW> Can't wait.

My only beef is no EVO?

Never going to the CIAS ever again. Import shows 4 me.

If you kept up with Honda/Acura you should know there isn't any really new models except for the Acura TSX, so you should have know what you were going to see before you went.

Personally, I find the autoshow to be almost worth the admission cost, versus most import shows.

Anybody seen him lately..

He came by my house in the summer with a Yellow TRD echo...

bet you never seen that before...

I beleive he is the same guy that tried to "run" with me last summer. It was on Martin Grove for reference.

I didn't "run" with him basically because I thought "Blah its an echo" and because of the obvious (we weren't on the track)

Interesting looking car though.

Daquel ride is sweet.....Second time I saw it.

The show was pretty good. I liked the successor to the Diablo, the Mirceaglo (if that's how you spell it) and the the RX-8 looked amazing, can't wait to test drive that little baby.

Anthony, you where right, Andrew, Jerry (1 Quick_Hatch) and myself really enjoyed the show

Nice to see you again bud.

I thought it was a good show.
Well worth the $10 entrance fee, unlike Importfest that just sucked...

The Echo is getting better, supposedly its just a re-branded Vitz, but I haven't checked GT2 to make sure.
Besides I got to bond with the RSX-S...

Oh it will be mine, one day... But it will be mine!

I went yesterday and thought that the Auto Show was pretty good; although I did like last year's better!

The Infiniti G35 coupe was sweet! They had one in bright red and I got to sit in it and I was immediately in love.

^----- Yup, I'm pretty sure that the Toyota Echo is just Japan's Toyota Vitz rebranded but I think that they've got a hatchback over there but we just get a 4 door and 2 door version here in Canada. The hatchback looks pretty good though (something I thought that I'd never say about an Echo! lol)

Also, Worst Thing about the auto show: That dumb skit they had to show the new Honda Element. "Are you guys going to sleep in there?" lol

I gotta say that daquel's car looks great! I like it alot! i wouldn't harp too much on the echo guys, it may be ugly but I can admit that my brother's sedan is faster (in a straight line anyway) than my 1.5 Civic, it can only get fasterr in a lighter hatchback! my next car is definetely decided on though, Acura TSX all the way!

I think last years show was better too. Oh well, still fun to check out all the cars. Here's a bunch of pics I took on Tuesday. It's so much better going on a weekday. Wasn't nearly as rammed as when I went on Sunday last year. Here's my pics!
