Time for the Philly Auto show – and the day started off with a bunch of presentations…

But because I got there before they even started to let people register, I wandered around a bit and checked out some of the scenery and the first thing past gate A, was BMW.

Speakers sounded off and we were all called over to the Ford booth and they gave us a briefing on new Escape and Fusion.

While they were talking about the snoozfest known as the Escape, I found myself next to the Lexus display and smoothies!

Oh, look an LFA…

Wasn’t the only Lexus there though, Lexus had all the new models there…

As the speaker rung for Chryslers talk, walking by the Porsche booth, they were still hiding the new guy…

Chrysler demo’d the new Dart…

On the way to the other side of the hall, this Kia Optima Hybrid pace car just pulled in from the wet….

Then GM took a turn and hyped the new Cadillac up right next to the Porsche booth, which was up next…

I found myself distracted by some other things like this display and a gangster CTS-V wagon…

Porsche was up… 2012 911’s east coast reveal…

Porsche was done, time to wander around, but before I got out of there…

Thanks appreciate it - But also letting you guys know, that most of these pictures were taken with a Rebel XT with kit lens... the crappy non-IS version that you can get for $20 used on camera forums... Dont need expensive gear if you know how to post process haha

Unfortunately this years show was a total let down compared to previous years, the only cars really worth seeing were the new 911, the new c63, and the BRZ from Subaru, otherwise in the downstairs section there was a tt gallardo and some nice nice old school 930's and a supra with an obnoxious turbo hahaha

Yeah the show was a lot of old models with a new year slapped on em. The antiques were a nice touch though.

BTW that "Supra with the obnoxious turbo" is Trolls :mrgreen:
