I gotta say I was very impressed by LEXUS, There Concept car, I think its the SI 300 amazed me with 400 HP, and they're convertabile was hard top, so nice, they guy even showed it to us, he made it hard-top then put it back to convertable. also I gotta say the AMG...the SL55 was very sexy

Same thing every year, and worse this year since I couldn't even get in any of the cars I really wanted to look at before I buy. Oh well, guess thats what a trip to the dealer is for.

[4G63Power]

Just as a buddy and I arrived, Toyota was giving out free passes for the show

so I can't really complain.

As for that 400hp Lexus IS 300 Concept...so nice

yeah talking with the Lexus guy he said to replicate what you see your looking at $20,000 over the price of the car

They are taking a very similiarly modified one to one lap this year. It should kick some serious booty if its even half way reliable.

sl55...me and my dad sat across the bench eating lunch and stared at it for like an hour...

all the ferraris were also nice to see

[red RX-7]

when i went there was a SL55 outside in the parking lot, same colour as inside but with nicer rims.

Aristo powered running stock boost is what they'll be using

[ACS-e36]

i liked the euro m3 rcts had

[EVOI]

well, it was ok. I mean what do u expect, after all we are in Calgary!!!it gives us some chance to see some cars so i think we should be thanksful.

[CRX crazy]

the new acura tsx is the same as the euro spec accord type r, so at least were starting to filter in some decent cars

[girlRACER]

I basically spent most of my time drooling in the Mercedes section....CLK and SL55AMG. Also got to experience the back massagers on the Lexus LS430 . Those two were my highlights. Got some pretty pimpin' posters too!

[Ben]

I liked the show. Always nice seeing a conglomerate of vehicles all at one place

[James]

I missed out this Year, ..sounded pretty good.

[___2PaC___]

They all should have had more posters, got a nice WRX STi poster, they show was awesome, Benz & Lexus all the way!

I heard there was a Lamborghini (I think it was an 80's) in the classic section, did anyone check it out?

[mwmhong]

That Lamborghini was OLD looking, like from the 80's or something. They had quite a few Ferrari's, both new and old.

One neat thing there was the screen in the Infiniti FX45.
It showed where in the building you were and when you shifted into reverse, it switched into a rear-view camera. The sound system was pretty good too. 2 subs in the spare tire holder.

Without a doubt, the biggest line-up was for the H2, this one guy sat in it for like 15+ minutes (come on man!) so I ask the guys in front of me if the guy is taking a nap or something.
They say "we should just drag him out of there" then the door suddenly opens and the guys jumps out quick. HaHa

There were these big kids goofing off in the Honda Element, switching the seats around in all 80-some positions.
Must've been there all day or something.

And........I was offered $5 to drop kick the Quinn Security Viper and take on BOTH of the goofy-looking SWAT-outfitted guys there.

[mwmhong]

Oh yeah, Orange Exhibitor pass=no pay to get in

[sillyd]

it was worth it just to see the hot azn girls....and the cars were good too.

[Ripper]

Damnit where were the ferraris
