St. Louis Auto show.(Heavy pic thread)

[Topkicker]

Was 57 and Sunny today. There was a large turnout at the show. I worked my way through the crowd and managed to get a few good pics. My main reason for going was to see our new Mid-size truck display and take a look at our direct competition (Toyota Tacoma) and look at prices. Here is the pics. Enjoy.


New Ram



New 15 F-150

Some nice stuff. I guess someone needed a new shifter knob.

The Yukon is sharp. To me the GMC version of GM trucks are much better looking than the Chevys.

The Vette is a head turner. The Camero does absolutely nothing for me. I have had them as rental cars 3 times now and I just don't get what people see in them.

It was hard to get any good pics of the new Stingray. Was surprised it was not roped off and on a turn style. Everyone's kid was crawling in it getting their picture made by their parents. Was the star of the show for sure.I personally didn't like the color choice on the Stingray but other than that, what an amazing looking ride. I'm glad they lowered the hood line on the Camaro. Much better visibility. I'm assuming you drove a V-6 it being a rental. The SS is fun to drive. Haven't got to drive a ZL-1....yet. A V-6 Camaro wouldn't do it for me either.

Thought this blacked out Ram was sharp.




The new Mustang was a head turner also

Chevy HD w Duramax and Allison tranny.

The Chevy SS w 6.2L



The new Cadillac CTS was getting a lot of attention also.

2 were V6 and one was a V8. The ride and seat position is what I dislike. The body lines from the door aft is not attractive to me. Looks like they ran out of money and time so they just squared it off and sent it out the door.

Out of all the trucks on the red carpet, the New Toyota Tundra takes home "the worst dressed award". The fashion police should write the designer a ticket on this one. The "wanna be blingy"wheels with that hammered out grill looks terrible IMO.

That 6.2 SS would get you to the grocery store in a hurry. Nice.

All in all I am a GM car fan. Not so much with the trucks. Just seems the cars they have figured out for each price point giving lots of bang for the buck.

I have to agree but to me the front ends on the Dodges are equally as bad. I loved them 10 years ago.

Toyota's attempt to make attractive 20in. truck wheels.... Epic fail. Ford and GM both make nice factory 20's. I love the factory bead locks on the Raptor. They had a couple of these. The blue one has the optional bead locks. Ram didn't have a Power Wagon on display. Wanted to see a new one up close. I dig the nose of the Ram. It has a sporty edge to it. The Tundra grill looks like a cheap, freezer vent from the frozen food isle at Sam's Club.

Those Toyota 20in. wheels don't look cool at all,not digging the Ford or Toyota new truck looks. Raptors are cool but I'll have to stick with the dodge but I like the Chevy front-end, takes me back to the 85 model trucks,witch are still my favorite. The Mustang looked sweet also,would take it over camero in a heartbeat.
