nice pics what do they call those 1series looking chevy things

**T.Dot_E30** · 02-15-2013, 05:59 PM

It's called the Chevy Code 130R.

Talk about a blatant rip off right? But I still hope they make it, the world needs more rwd coupes.

ya its like they just slapped chevy bumpers and lights on a 1 series body.

even the corvette almost looks like its got the same headlights as the viper

Sweet! Btw was there a new Fiat 500L? I want to check out that car. They manufacture it in my old country.

e90 is no longer in production, and the e92 production run is almost done.
The new M3/4 isn't released yet so you can't expect to see those yet.

I agree with the others, porches usually doesn't participate and Bugatti has one car?
No support from lambo, I guess they feel they don't need it. It would have been nice to see the Aventador spyder

A friend of mine went to the Auto Show and by looking at the material/build quality of new BMW interiors he was rather more interested in Audi/Mercedes!

Are you talking about the show overall? or the BMW booth?

I would say as far as BMW is concerned their display was pretty disappointing. I spent more time with the MINI's. There was nothing that wasn’t there last year and the few of their cars you would care to see were locked anyway, so you couldn’t even sit inside, which says a lot.

Is there a story behind this pic...

I'm imagining her telling a Mustang fan to "Come at me BRO!!!"

The new Viper looks a lot like an Aston Martin from the rear.

I was there on Media Day, all the cars were open, I had the whole area to myself and I pretty much sat in every car except the i8 and i3, the Ms, the Gran Coupe and a few others.

Yea I forgot about the cars being locked on public days. But it's like visiting 20 dealerships in one day without being hassled by sales people, granted you don't get to sit in all cars, but you do get to see everything up close.

That's Lucy Zilio from Omni, she was recording a clip for TV I assume. She was friendly and very talkative in person. That area was busy with everyone trying to tweet for the free hot wheel.
