might as well start with the Porsche stuff....new 911 (997) Cab

I tried to get more, better pics of this car, but I couldn't get close to it, damn people kept walking into me

550 La Carrera PanAmericana

550

550 interior

sexy rear end

BMW Hydrogen car

this looked to be loosely based on a Z4 chasis

For JP

Corvette Z06 in the YCAF color

front 1/4

Big Nose

driver front

it's a very nice yellow

wheels and brakes

back quarter

butt 1

notice where the back up lites are! I like it!

This really is a great looking car with gobs of performance potential

Jeep Hurricane

It has 2 Hemi engines!

Front Engine and transmission

Rear engine and suspension...don't ask me what the driveshaft is for Why is it necessary with an engine in the back, too?

ass end

Mercedes had some nice cars out...their new line of SUVs was very interesting...don't know if these were preproduction models or what...but I like them, there is a small one

and one a little bigger....this one is tres bien! uhhh, errrr sehr gut

Pontiac Solstice...these pictures don't do this car justice...it's a beauty...expect Miata-ish performance from it

ass end

another ass shot

rear 3/4...this shot is starting to show how GM typically screws up a beautiful design...can you spot what I'm talking about?

more of the side

even more of the side

side and front

side and front more....now, if you couldn't find the GM design flaw...go back and find the antenna...its just behind the passenger's head on the rear 1/4. I believe it would be in my peripheral vision the whole time and bug the snot out of me as well as clutter the design like it does....why couldn't they just put then antenna in the windshield or do a small retractable antenna somewhere else

Saturn Sky...based on the same platform as the Pontiac Solstice

nuther

New Shelby...CR1, GR1...something like that. It looked like chrome in person, but in the pics it looks like it could be highly polished aluminum

more shelby

Thanks Seanery for taking pictures. Next year let us (SMOG guys) know your in town & we can make it a 914 gathering. Everyone likes the Z06 Corvette, it rocks. Cheap ($50 big ones) pleasure and a beautiful ride. GM has it right on this one. The Pontiac roadster also looks good.
I probably will not attend this yrs. show. Been out of town all week & were having 12" of snow today. The great thing about living in SouthEast MI. Metro area, gets me into the plants on my regular work (business). I will get into the plants where they build the Pontiac roadster along with the Mustang plant. I will try to take my camera with me (if permited) for pictures during the year.

FYI
Michigan is a great place, but Detroit is an embarrassment. I hate to even mention the name "Detroit" it's the pits. They are trying to clean it up for next years 2006 superbowl. What a joke!!

Is the Solstice/Sky based on the Lotus developed Opel Speester chassis? I thought I remembered reading that they were planning on trying to use it. It oughta be interesting to see how well it performs. I like that Saturn Sky a lot more than my SL1...

Thanks for the pics, looks great. How was the 911 cabrio in person. Now that the Cabrio and the Boxster shre the same windsheild heights there is ven less to distinguish them. Just the J-Lo rump and 100 more HP
