As some of you know, I've spent the last few weeks working on the setup for the 2016 North American International Auto Show in Detroit. The show opened today, so rather than going to work, I dressed up like a journalist, threw on my hilariously large ID, and blew through my cell phone battery on pictures of sweet rides that I'll probably never own. I'm currently fighting a losing battle of uploading 4gb of photos on a slow hotel internet connection. I'll try to separate photos by brand, and will get through one brand at a time as the uploads finish. I figured you'd rather see something now than wait for a day or two. Anyway, on with the pictures! I'll try to do them in alphabetical order, but will probably forget someone and add them in later. Click for big. Acura Acura has a simple stand, with solitary NSX in the corner, and something under a cloth that has still not been revealed.           Aston Martin These guys win the  reward for simply adding barriers and cars to an otherwise unoccupied piece of carpet. Audi Nothing new or interesting, except for an overly happy S5 model, and this charging location of this Audi A3 e-tron, which I think looks pretty ridiculous.        Buick Avista.     My internet is crawling right now. 30K/sec upload isn't much fun. I'm heading out for dinner now,if I'm not wasted from that then I'll post more. Still to come in full is: BMW The i8 was pretty cool. I loved the doors. And the significant amount of exposed carbon fiber. Rear visibility was bad, but the car was good so... The M3 was an M3 The M2 was like a smaller M3? I don't know anything about it, and we weren't allowed up close. The 2002 was apparently inspiration for the M2 There was an X6M there as well My images aren't in any sort of order and I got really pissed off trying to sort them because I can't think of a good way to sort them on a Surface with it's 12" screen, it will have to wait until I'm home. One of these picture shows that the language settings are locked out on these cars, so I cannot change the language so something dumb for goon amusement.                         Cadillac                Chevrolet         C7 Vette looked nice. Not so nice inside - quite 'plasticky' and didn't inspire confidence. The weed stash spot behind the screen was a nice addition. 'Corvette'almost sounds French, so I changed the Corvettes into French to please Powershift.                   The new Cruze...  The Bolt EV:               Some Bro'ed up Colorado.         2016 Camaro. Loved this car, wish they would sell it in my country. I love the FAV+/- buttons, which I assume control the HUNNERT HAWSPOWAH that the car makes.    FCA                                                                      Ford                                                                                                                                                                      GMC                   Honda                 Lexus                                                                Lincoln Mazda                     Pomp and Circumcized fucked around with this message at 18:31 on Jan 12, 2016 |

neckbeard posted:Buick Avista looks classy as hell I have pictures of the cutaway engine for it somewhere. Updated with BMW and Chevrolet. Ford and VW to follow. Ford will take about 8-10 hours to upload. I'm having a hard time keeping track of the images because they seem to upload in a random order, and constantly hitting 'preview post' then thinking "ok the 11th and 14th images need to move to below the 19th image" has become somewhat tiring. I'll deal with all that when I'm not stuck on a 12" tablet.

There was some kind of diesel cutaway engine sitting near to it. I'll let you know. The pre-bro'ed exhaust tip is hilarious. Should I ask if it has a switch to conveniently enable rolling coal?
