San Francisco International Auto Show PICS!

[Saint]

Hey All,
So up here in SF we have a much smaller version of the LA Auto show...little less fanfare but it has all the cool stuff!
The interior of the 2010 Stang is quite nice...far less spartan as our 05-09's!
I'll start with a few highlights and the rest will be in the gallery: (sorry bout some of the quality of images...some were a little rushed)

Dodges Fugly entry into the roadster world called the Slingshot - not my cup of tea:



A few exotics:

This is the prototype Carbon Motors purpose built E7 Patrol Car. For all the PD guys on this site - this thing is the wet dream of a patrol officer. All the bells and whistles of your Crown Vic but at a $3k - $5k lower price tag. This one here is a very working prototype and they expect it to be in production in 2-3 years. I have a close friend who is working with Carbon on this project, active SJPD officer who is just nuts about what this car has on it, what it can do and what it will offer!






The touch screen in the middle stack is functional!!!

Just got back from SF AutoShow. Love the cues and lines from the 2010 Mustang, too bad they didn't let anyone sit inside. The camaro is the prototype that's been showed around, not the actual production car. Coolest car?? The Masarati CHP car, there must be some rich folks along the HWY 101 coastline. Hottest car?? The Aston Martin DBS, its just some hot looking and the interior is fabalous. Weakest car? The Dodge Challenger, nice styling but don't know why everyone is crazy over a reskined Dodge Charger, wife sat in the car and said it feels like her 300C, I laughed and said because it is, some Mopar guy next to me said it wasn't and tried to argue about it. I asked him what kind of car he's driving, he said a Dodge Ram, I said we drive a 300C as our daily driver and that Challenger is a 300C, especially the 80's quality interior, he wasn't too happy about that comment. Overall all, its less "bling bling" this year then last due to the economic metltdown but I also enjoyed the exotic car show upstairs with some souped up Lambos, Ferraris, a few Corvettes, and a bunch of M5s/M3s.
