SF Auto Show

San Francisco Auto Show starts today.
I'll go to check out the X if it shows up, and others (135i, M3, new A4, GT3).
I'll post some pics here later.

I just went to SF Auto Show.
The Evo X and new STI are both there.
So are 135i and Audi R8.

I'll post impressions after I get the pics hosted somewhere.

Here are my impressions.

The show overall is pretty basic. Not much blitz or color.

135i is there, in black color. Not bad, but chunky. 335i coupe is better.

There is no new Audi A4. No M3. There was a pre-owned 330i on display. Strange.

The new STI is hard to take. It appears unsettled. In blue color, it looks drab.
The interior is flat grayish and the seats look like old bunny fur. The car
looks too aggressive.

The X is good overall. The front is tough looking, which may not suit some folks.
The Phantom Black color is great. The stance is tall but not over done. Not as
aggressive as STI, but not lame at all. The MR wheels look good, would be
better if lowered slightly.

Here are the pics. Happy Thanksgiving.

Well that kind of sucks you guys dont get to see the badass gtr.

And you cant see the evo GSR. Or the graish sti which I think looks better than the blue one.

nice pics... I was there too.. I like the STI's big front fenders, makes it look mean, more so than the EVO X... the BBS's on the EVO really looks good and the interior has better materials. But I was kinda surprise how good the STI looks... here's are some pics I took

No. X, STI and 135i are all on a platform. No touch allowed.
