***2008 M?hldorfer Stadtplatz New Car Show (Part 1)***

[cawimmer430]

Last Sunday was the annual "M?hldorfer Stadtplatz New Car Show" where the local car dealerships generally tend to showcase new cars, existing cars and try to get people interested in them. So here are some small boring write ups and pictures. Enjoy.   


Alfa Romeo / Opel

"Scheidl" is the name of this dealership that sells both Opel's and Alfa Romeo's. There was pretty much nothing to see here except some gorgeous Alfa Romeo's and a few cool Opel's. I loved the Alfa Romeo GT and Brera. From Opel, I was only interested in the Astra GTC and Cabrio. The only Opel that stole the show was the Opel GT, not because it was new, but because of its kickass design and color. Gorgeous car.

The rest of the Opels...

Audi

The only new cars are at Audi were the new A4 sedan and A5 coupe. They also had an S3 which wasn't very nice in the blue color it was presented in. The new A4 is gorgeous, a bit bland since it looks like the predecessor but still a sweet ride. The A5 is probably the hottest German coupe in its class at the moment in my opinion.

BMW / MINI

Like Audi, BMW had nothing new to showcase except perhaps the 1-Series Coupe and the MINI Clubman. The 1-Series Coupe shown was a 123d and it was very nice. I'm digging these and it is on my dreamcars list for sure. The MINI Clubman on the other hand was hideously ugly. I've seen them before on the road but this was the first time I got to see one upclose. What's the point of this thing again?

The 325i Cabrio they showcased was also very lovely, I like them as well.

END OF PART I

[Colin]

I came very close to selecting an Alfa GT as my next car............... in my opinion, one of the prettiest cars on the market at present!

[Cookie Monster]

The Alfa Brera is horrendous.

The Alfa Brera is horrendous.

Blasphemy!  Have you never seen one?!

I do like the S3.  Gimme one over a 1-Series anyday.

Nice shots Wimmer.

[Northlands]

Nice shots!

I've noticed.. a disturbing lack of snow. Why no snow? We are suffering here. We cannot hold any show and shines, car shows, swap meets, because we are buried. 

[the Teuton]

I could see all of those Opels except for the littlest one become very welcome in the Saturn family.  Also, I want those Alfas.

[Yawn]

The Alfa Brera looks alot nicer in person..

[ChrisV]

That Brera is gorgeous, and the 159 estate is stunning. Attitude just pours from them...

Thanks. 

It didn't snow here much during the winter. Blame global warming for that.

The Clubman isn't supposed to look good.  It's just...bizarre.  It has lots of extra legroom in the back and a lot more space in the cargo hold.

I really do like that 159. I just hate the Brera.

[hotrodalex]

The Alfa's and new S5 look great!

I really do like that 159. I just hate the Brera.
