Speeddeamon128 Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Today some of my friends & I went to the Philly Auto Show. The show wasn't as good as we hoped. There weren't many concept cars & the show rooms seemed empty. It was basically the same show as last years with some newer models. Enjoy. Chrysler was the first show room. An overview look. New electric Jeep. Toyota. Subaru Impreza. Nice BMW! Time for Dodge The Dodge overview. Viper sexiness The Challenger is so pretty Hey it is the car I own! Another Viper I wish I owned this! Maybe after college I almost bought one of these but the poor gas milage changed my mind. Nissan! 370z Sexy! Some Mercury Hybrid. Is this a bus The new Mustang doesn't impress me at all. I prefer the current model. The back. New Shelby. The new Taurus looks nicer than the Mustang The only SUV I would buy is the Edge. They had a Ford Fusion race contest. I came in 2nd out of 4! Cadillac. Escalade Hybrid is a total waste of $75gs. The CTS Kelly-V is the World's fastest sedan! Chevy time Nice Corvette! The moment I've been waiting for! The new Camaro I WANT IT SO BAD Sorry Challenger THIS will be my next car after college Camaro sexiness! Now over to Honda. Nothing really special here. A crappy Evo. Yay for Supercharged! Some custom stuff. Totally old school! I HATE these stupid Smart cars. Every time I see one I want to take my car keys & scratch up the car. Hey Sam for once your piece of crap car is nicer than something I would drive a Mini Cooper S any day. Lambo! Same one as last year. That was it for us & we were all getting hungry so we headed over to the Hard Rock Cafe for dinner. While leaving we saw a movie being filmed in the streets of Philadelphia! We weren't told who the actors were & what the movie was but this looked like a driving scene. I hope you enjoyed my 2009 Philly Auto Car Show TR! Thanks for reading. ~Matt T.

gerd.muller Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Great TR, great pics, thanks for posting. The new Camaro really looks kick-a$$. Why do you have such an aversion towards the Smart, it´s a really good concept, and they sell quite good here in Germany, mostly as a familia´s second car for the moms or for students. They are very agile, don´t need much parking space, don´t need much fuel and have a very low insurance. I bought two as company cars two years ago, put a big ad on its side and everybody loves them to drive, they are the perfect downtown-car! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groteslurf Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Thanks for posting. I really love the American cars. It's a pitty it's hard to afford one out here because of the heavy taxes on the hp's. Although I love American cars, my favorite car in above pics is still the BMW 3 series, although the 328 type is unkown to me. Probably it's only for the American market.

The 328 type is mostly used for the coupes and the convertibles, you can find the history of the BMW 3 series here: http://www.bmwarchiv.de/e-code/e90.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gerd.muller Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 I just think they look stupid & are slow that's just my opinion though I don´t think that this would be your opinion if you would have to pay the price for gas, the average european has to pay! Example: Today´s gas price in Munich: 1 Liter Premium unleaded= 1,21 Euros, that means: 1 Gallon Premium unleaded = 1,21 Euros x 3,78 = 4,57 Euros, that means: 1 Gallon Premium unleaded = 4,57 Euros x 1,32 = 6. 03 US $!!!

Speeddeamon128 Posted February 7, 2009 Author Share Posted February 7, 2009 ^Most Americans don't like small cars like that & ugly looking hybrids. I wanted the Civic hybrid before I got my car & my parents laughed at me. America really does have to take cars with better gas milage seriously in the next few years because I like most of you hate paying a lot for gas. I just hope hybrids & electric cars look better than they do now in the next few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speeddeamon128 Posted February 9, 2009 Author Share Posted February 9, 2009 ^Absolutely not. Just look at all of the crappy apartment neighborhoods around our area & if you no anything about how bad Camden is that is also what we have to deal with. I am fortunate to be upper middle class & don't live right next to drive by shooting areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRapidsNerd Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Neat TR! The Lambos were gorgeous, and have to agree the EVO is a mess. Think they were trying for an agressive, body kit look, but it's disproportionate and unbalanced. Ah, stuff like this makes me miss the Tuner scene. Good work!

Devious Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 That Red/Black viper is just.... i'd love to own one to cruise around in, but i love my beat up, tiny, loud, but gas-efficient buick century seriously, you could drive it off a cliff and cause no damage, drives better than a lot of cars i know and have driven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElToroExtreme Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 I disagree and Agree on your Smart comment... I disagree: Cause I love the look its nifty! They arent supposed to be sporty! Its uber funky! I Agree: Cause I HAVE driven one, and the Trans is Terrible... and its to top heavy! I love the new small cars... However I really Dislike the 07 and on MINI Hardtops and the Clubman However the new MINI Vert is DEAD sexy! They 02 to 06 Hardtop and 04 to 08 Verts are the best MINI body style! Here is the New MINI Cooper Convertible S http://vimeo.com/2818909?pg=embed&sec=2818909 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yes, the Mini Clubman looks really wierd. It looks like the designers had a dream of a Funeral-Car for Dwarfs. The Mini Cooper and Cooper S are really little bastards, especially the S, they are really fast and kinky, but in my opinion a typical girl´s-car (Charlize Theron looked sooooo damned sexy inside her Mini in the "Italian-Job"-movie!!! ) and a little bit to overpriced ( and you have to pay for every extra other cars have for free, for example the First-Aid-Kit for 90,- Euros, or the Package-Pack, that means 140,- Euros for a compartment in the front....). But all in All a really nice small car, even some people here in Germany call it "Elephants-sneaker". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElToroExtreme Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Well MINI is the Premium Small car... The new models are INSANELY Expensive... The John Cooper Works Convertible will be starting at $35K But I remember one thing... Im driving a "BMW"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
