Nice thoughts on the cars at the Auto Show, very similar to my impressions. I went to the VIP industry night on Thursday, but didn't get to see most of the cars. I went back on Saturday morning with the wife (she had $10.00 tickets through work) and really enjoyed it!

I also thought the AR 4C was gorgeous - wish I could have sat inside, looks amazing. One of the other show-stoppers for me was the Lexus LC500/500h - gorgeous inside and out, I loved the design cues and the concept-like look.

The 2017 86...yeah, if I bought a twin today hands down it would be a BRZ with a performance package. I would still go WRB though, the pale looking yellow on the series yellow car didn't do it for me. The one thing I do like on the 86 is the grand-luxe 'suede' dash piece over the BRZ 'leather' one.

Something about the stitching on the outer edge looks terrible to me on the BRZ one, but on the 86 the stitched name looks cool. However, I do think it looks awful in the '17 86 though, as there are NO matching suede/alcantara parts in that interior so it looks out of place. If you swap that in an old car, I think it would be right at home with the alcantara seats on a monogram
