I was bit surprised to see one of these here; with a turbo diesel as well.


An impressive Lincoln.


I was a bit disappointed with the new Mazda3.  It looks worse in the metal.


Not so the new Fiesta.  It looks very appealing.


...another look.


The new Taurus is, also, better in the metal.


I'm really starting to like the rear end..


Very mean looking...


A chick bike...


A chick car...


An old goof car...

It's true.  People really look stupid in a SMART car.

Another chick car...


My favourite car...


For Nissan fans.


A great looking car.  Not a very good picture.


A couple of Ferraris...



An excellent Jag...


Another one...


Beautiful..


A little nostalgia.




Corvette was featured.  I believe I saw this car in '63 at Mosport.  Mako Shark


The first 'Vette


One of my favourites...


For the Camaro crowd...


For the Mopar fans...


My favourite picture...

Nice.  That Audi R8 looks sweet.  The Fiesta is looking really good.  If they ever make an SVT version, I'll be all over it.

Did they have the R8 5.2 FSI there?
I didn't see one but we missed the main Audi exhibit.

Thanks.  I'm a rank amateur but I am quite proud of the white Lambo.

I'm always more excited to see the classics than the new cars at auto shows.  Concepts bore me as well. 

Nice pictures.

I believe I saw a picture that someone else snapped of it, but I missed it as well.

There were few to be found and only one reasonably hot one. Alas, no pics.

Edit: Thats when I went of course. May have been different for FoMo.

I still need to go look around the show (didn't get a chance to on the couple of days I worked there) but I don't think I'll get around to it even though it wouldn't cost me anything

And so you touch this limit, something happens and you suddenly can go a little bit further. With your mind power, your determination, your instinct, and the experience as well, you can fly very high." - Ayrton Senna

When I was there last year, there weren't many.  And the ones that were there weren't anything special.

Great auto show they had there in Toronto!  Somebody did some stellar work to put that show together!  Thanks for the pics, Fo!
So many stairs...so little time...
