Edmonton Auto Show... random pics [PIC intensive]

[Whtvr]

Went to the car show yesterday, like I do every year, walked away dissapointed like I do every year.

There were some nice cars, but it was almost like walking through 10 dealerships at once. Nothing really exciting, vw and audis booths were both lacking, and NO porsche!

I really like the new Volvo C30, definately considering this as my next car.

The new lancers are really nice.

The thunder bunny was on display at vw, nicely modded car.

Audi had the new TT and RS4 sedan, I sat in the new TT, it's amazing.

These pics are some of the better ones I took, you'll see I have a fascination with the front ends of cars....

how is the thunder bunny lacking :P

and an rs4 ..
kinda silly how they brought a FWD TT, and the lack of porsche was pretty lame too, my dad really wanted to look at a cayenne

I was hoping to see some .:R product. I know it wouldn't make sense because they are not built for the canadian market... but still.

As for the thunder bunny, that is one kick ass car! I would take it in a second.

The RS4 was beatiful, but I wanted to see the R8!

Perhaps my expectations of an auto show are a little out of wack?

I really think Edmontons could be bigger and better. They did change up the format from last year, which I liked.

I spent a lot of time drooling over the RS4 and the V8 Vantage. The Vantage is soooo hot in person

I would have liked to have seen the thunder bunny, the volvo c30 and the suzuki rally car (I think it looks hot).

The suzuki rally car was unfortunately just a mock-up, although it did look pretty cool.

Some good pics, I hope Calgary's show gets a few more cars, really hoping to see an R8 too!

Thanks for the compliment on the pics. Unfortunately there were just too many people to get some really decient full car shots. I was thinking about bringing the tripod too, but again the crowds would've made it pointless. Overall it was a decient show.

One thing I did notice, downstairs there was a small group of import cars (read: Japanese) from a local shop. Also some american muscle / trucks from local shops. Has anyone from the euro community considered trying to get some cars in one of these "higher profile" shows? It would be great exposer.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not advocating my car be anywhere near a show floor, but there are some amazing examples of beatifully tuned euro cars in Edmonton and Calgary.

Probably would be a very good idea, but I would imagine the cost of getting such a space would be fairly pricey and can sometimes be a little difficult to pull some cars together this time of year
