I went to the San Diego International Auto Show today. This was the first car show ive ever gone to and it was pretty cool. Lots of nice cars. You got to sit in most of them. But they werent detailed all too well and the guys walking around dusting them off werent doing a great job. It was still cool though.

Chrystler Concept Car:

I liked the orange:

Interesting spoiler:

The awesome leg room in a mini (I forget the exact version):

When ever you see the name "integrated", you know its bad. lol... this was a Civic hybrid though:

As seen in a different thread semi-recently... $180,000 and fast:

The all important Carrera GT was there:

Some Astin Martins:

170hp 4cylinders Pontiac. Based on the looks, I wasnt too impressed compared to some other cars:

Humer H2H

This is one of its three hydrogen tanks (the other two are in the underbody). It has a range of 60 miles:

Cobra Concept Car:

The all important GT40 was there:

The Ford Guy... I have no idea what it does:

This FTX is MASSIVE:

Lotus Elise... this is the number #1 that I would like to have right now and that I have a chance at getting someday:

Dodge would take your picture with the Viper for free if you wanted!:

And finally a blinged out and lowered (I think) car for you:

That concludes the pictures!

dcswd, nice collection of pictures.

I found it interesting that Chrysler wheeled out the Copperhead. It has been a disappointment that that never went into production.

Great job, dcs! I feel like I was there!

I can't wait to go to the Cleveland Auto Show as soon as it comes in Feb. Great pics! I tried last year to get a job for a car maker at the auto show. Got out bidded. I doubt I did. The dealerships normally thow out bids, so they get it.

Is this the copperhead one your refering too? I forgot the name of it. I liked how the paint looked though.

Apparently the SL65 isn't a whole lot quicker than the 55

Nice stuff. Glad you had fun!

The Lotus Elise is where'd I go if HAD to give up my Miata, but that one looks a Batmobile on Halloween...

dcswd, yep, that is the Copperhead.

Great concept from Chrysler IMHO. I have the scale model and just love the detailed interior. Also the tyre tread is in a snake pattern too. How's that for attention to detail?

$106K for a Hummer H1?

No thanks, I will take the Porsche 997 please.
