Great pics, and i agree with you, I think the 04's - 07's look much better than the new cars.

yeah yeah....i got home about an hour ago. was nice. the '09 deff was a mistake. the front sucks...i like the rear front the side it looks good besides the small fender vents. the wheels are really nice, the rear tail lights are great the interior was heh at best. the recarco seats are a snug fit. if you are more than like 200 lbs you will be a lil uncomfortable. over all the '09 just doesn't do it...

over all i had a nice time and of course we hit mazda first before any other make, lol...well besides the free display of scions at the entrance, lol.

those gunmetal wheels on the 09 are pretty nice.

is that a dry carbon dash on the speedsource?

Cool pix. The Furai is out of control. I can't to see it in person.

I agree with you guys, the '09 refresh is a disappointment.

there were a few nice cars out there but it seemed like the show was kinda just slapped together....nothing uber exciting....kia, huyndai and suzuki had some nice offerings too......seems like the magic number is 300hp now

The new cars are not that bad looking (still like our 04-07 more), just the steering wheel and those new side vents are awful, whats wrong with the larger ones we have now. i do like the new wheels tho
