I'm heading to the show this weekend. From what I have seen on the 'Net, I'd go with the Spykers. The Spykers have always captured my imagination, and the cabin appointments and overall craftsmanship echo the beautiful European touring cabriolets of the 1930s.

The GT-R was nice. The roof line looks much better in person when you can see the flare of the fenders.
Surprisingly the Audi A3 with the S-Line package was very nice. I added it to my consideration set which I didn't think of before.

By far, the Volkswagen Up Space.
Hopefully they'll build it - and sell it in Amerika.

I'm still waiting for the "Girls of...". If that's not my favorite part, you guys need new photographers.
P.S. Where do I send my resume?

Ah...if only I were in California. But from all the wonderful pictures, my favorite was definitly the Dodge Viper ACR. That thing is awesome.

The MINI Clubman was my favorite part, but I am a little biased. The new Clubman might be my second MINI.
It was great to watch the show goers explore the new little doors. It was as if the new MINI was new again!

Drove down to LA from the SF bay Area Friday night to see the show on Sat. morning/afternoon and then came home. This was the first time we have gone to an "important" auto show, normally my daughter and I go the SF auto show, but this year we traveled. The companies displays are much nicer. I went for the BMW 135i, it was a nice almost little (e30 type) car. might have to buy a new car for once! VW had the TDI Jetta Sport wagon, but no 4-Motion available (bummer). Very nice looking wagon. The Mini Clubman had a decent look. The Jay Leno's Pratt & Miller C6RS monster was definitely a nasty looking piece. There was plenty of goodies for everyone. It was interesting to some of the SEMA concept cars there after seeing them on the web

I was really impressed with the Honda FCX. Though a bit large for my taste, it's definitely a great leap forward.

There was a moderate amount of 'flash' at the show, which is ok for testosterone-imbued 15-year old and testosterone-challenged 45-year old boys. Just what the hell is a "Hybrid Hemi", anyway? Sounds like "airline food" or "military intelligence" to us. But "Hybrid Hemis" were exactly what Dodge was pushing at their (not-too-well-attended) 2007 LA Auto Show display. But for anyone interested in saving our planet, there were definitely some dynamic concepts on display. Most exciting and interesting vehicles were those equipped with GM's "dual mode hybrid" automatic transmission developed over the past three years in Europe in partnership with Chrysler, BMW and Daimler (they were displayed in GM's big trucks and SUVs). Next came the GM Volt plug-in hybrid and, last but not at all least, the Honda FCX Clarity, their hydrogen-based fuel cell EV prototype, headed for production in 2008, which sat alongside the same company's "Home Fuel Hydrogen Conversion" unit. Honda says it will separate hydrogen from the natural gas carried by pipes which are part of almost every home and building in the US ... Imagine making your own fuel at home for your fuel cell-operated EV. For the first time in over 30 years, I truly feel that America's own General Motors is well ahead of much of the competition, both foreign and domestic, when it comes to 'being and acting green'... There may be hope for that company, and our nation and planet, yet.
