Hey, so has anyone gone this year or planning to go?
I went on Tuesday cause it was that Super Tuesday when tickets are only $12.00!
Anyways was a fun time with the wife. Some cars really impressed me while others really unimpressed me.
Lets start with the cars that really impressed me.
1.
Mazda Miata
For the price, I think the car loos beautiful and interior looks very nice and feels like your in a special car. My wife also thought it was a nice car. They had the RF model in gray which also looked beautiful! Also it was comfortable and had a nice seating position.
2.
Alpha Romeo 4C
They had it locked, but exterior wise it was one of the prettiest cars.
Interior looks very nice but can't say how comfortable it is or anything like that.
3.
Acura RDX
This was probably my favorite cross over SUV of the show. I think Acura made it very nice inside and out. Not much more to say since I'm not big into SUV's haha.
~ The car that stole the show for me ~
Acura RLX
Yeah...I honestly never sat in one before because when I was shopping for my Accord, Acura only had the TLX in the showroom and I didn't like how it had less leg room in the rear than the Accord. The guy told me about the RLX but when I heard the price i said no thanks haha.
But...the RLX...now after the show....talk about a spacious and comfortable sedan. I was always turned off by the price tag, $65,000+ but now I'm actually looking to buy it. It really impressed me and my wife
~Okay time for the cars that unimpressed me.
Nissan GTR
Dare I say it....I was unimpressed. I never sat inside the R35 but I had friends who told me the car felt cheap inside. I always told them "guys it's not about the inside, it's about the engineering"
Well...here i was smiling waiting t get inside the GTR.
Once I got in I was just like ....really? $127,000? Really? I know it's fast but damn...Nissan sure cut corners haha. Anyways yeah...lets just say I'll buy the RLX over this any day haha
Range Rover Sport
No idea what version it was but it was blue, low and expensive. However inside the cabin I didn't feel like I was in a $120,00 car. Also it felt very uncomfortable.
Toyota 86
My God Toyota...I don't know how they could screw up such a great car.
Where to start....the steering wheel feels like it's out of a corolla. The interior suede feels disgusting to me and looks ugly. The 86 badge looks tacky. The seats I don't like. The front I don't like. Overall the car just looks tacky and like they had 50 people just slap on random parts to make it a "refresh". If I was shopping now, I'd buy the BRZ and never look at the new 86 twice.
~ In fact the yellow BRZ actually looked really cool!
*This is my opinion, if you have the new 86 and love it, that is what matters most and ignore the haters cause there is always someone who doesn't like a certain car haha *

Anyways, don't want to make the post too long. Just thought I'd share my thoughts on this years show. Oh one more thing. I'm actually a Volvo fanboy and the booth was actually popular this year which made me happy....but even as much of a fanboy that I am....Acura guys...ACURA! haha
