Arrow '06 LA Auto Show Pics

Wing5 at it with his camera again! ^.^
Went to the LA Auto show this past weekend and as always I brought along my camera and tripod. (BTW: This will be my first time using imageshack as the host seeing as how I don't want 100+ pics on my photobucket, so help me out/bear with me.) Anyways, got a couple notes on my trip there if anyone's interested, but without anymore delay here are the pics



I'll start off with the Mazda section ^.^ The 8 was trashed but everyone was checking it out. Made me happy that it's still such a "headturner" and I happily answered some questions.

^^^ Nagare Concept vvv Again, ask away if you want any impressions or questions answered, just trying to get the pics up for now...

New US muscle~

Camaro was my favorite ^.^


Dodge Challenger-


All biases aside (I Loathe/Hate/Despise Rustangs) but it's garbage. Glass roof = insta-death on roll overs. Interior w/ fur?!?! Ugly as crap. And the scissor doors aren't in ANY way American Muscle! >.< Garbage car, end of story. /end rant

Agreed, I was pleasantly surprised to see people ooh-ing and awe-ing over the 8. Always nice to see people get their pictures taken in your car :-)

Glad you like lone_wolf
tiltmode, I spent almost an hour hanging around answering questions. Felt it was my duty, and glad to do it. :0)

I want a Z4 M Coupe And the photographer finally shows himself in the first 2 pics


My cousin on the bike, BMW V8, cool HUD fighter helmet, and the new 3 series coupe

What engine did they have in the Nagare? Even though its body is terrible, just wondering.

To my knowledge, it was not listed anywhere. Here's why: it's that much of a concept. The wheels are solid and have no tires, so u can imagine how useless the car is and consequently the only video of it driving is on a perfect driveway. I read somewhere that a designer said it "could conceivably have a hydrogen powered rotary in it." That doesn't amount to anything because this car will never make it to production.
The whole point of the car (as I gather) is to show future components in upcoming models. Such as the central driving position, 3 person wide lounge seating in the back, hydrogen-rotary, etc. etc. We'll see

More pics to come later...

I dunno.. I kinda liked the Mustang.. All the little touches like the mustang symbols on the grill. This is one that I thought looked better in real life than in pics.

Wing I'm appreciative of you taking the pics for us. Question, 1st post, 1st row of pics, 5th column. Is that supposed to be the CX-9?

Thats the CX-7 Adreneline Concept AKA Mazdaspeed CX-7.

I'd be happy with a z4 coupe or roadster (non M version)as my second car but I think I'd really have a hard-time convincing the wife I need a second sportscar.

That 335i does look nice too, I need to hit the lottery so I can buy all the cars I want, there are sooo many.
