URL: LA Auto Show
We went to LA auto show! My favorite display was Ferrari, very sexy and fashion oriented as always. They never disappoint me :) And Nissan did very nice display this year as well. I do like checking cars... but I can't help to check out who has the best display this year. I guess it's the nature of being a designer :P Out of all the concept cars, I liked DODGE Challenger. It has some retro feel with 80s flare to the design - looks like it could be right out of Japanese anime AKIRA. (pic top right)
One thing I was hoping to see here was to find more info on cool hybrid or hydrogen cars. So I was hoping to see more hyped cool theme of that, but it didn't seem to take big part in this auto show :(
Anyway,
here is a picture of our future 4door truck, Nissan Frontier!! We both liked the size and simple design of this truck. It was pretty comfortable sitting in the back seats. We want a truck, but we definitely don't need a huge truck that waste a lot in gas milage and take up way too much space. I wish one of the car company will come up with hybrid + compact truck that would allow maximum space inside for comfort and still hold 2 motorcycles in the bed.
And the picture on the right is Paul's favorite special customized Subaru Forester. He didn't want to move on to the next car for a while ;)
