Easy. The new interior looks like a car, and not a truck.

Shoft knobs? So thats where they keep em!?

Nice! Iv been waiting for them to turn on!

Awesome! The song is Karaja - She Moves (la la la song) (http://www.karaja.de/) It fits the driving perfectly.

Local Zellers.

Cool, I have not seen those pictures before. What year was this shown as a concept? 1993? There was a Lumina based ElCamino around the same time, also by GM Design. Pictures of that car are even harder to come by.

The trim popped right off. The shifter is unscrewed as with most autoshow cars. I was holding off posting this (actually, Polish_Kris didnt even want me to have this picture). The new Camry is a decent car, but it is not earth shattering at all. Im going to have to whole heartedly agree with Fly's above comments. This car is better than the 02-06, but its more an evolution of the 97-01. There are alot of places on the interior that look cobbled together, like the rear door grips, which are made of two sandwiched pieces of plastic. Pull hard on those, and they flex. The previous cars had a single solid piece. The look of the dash is like a rework of the 97-01, with that bluish hue worked in on the lower models, making it look IKEA stylish (good or bad thing, you decide). The exterior also takes cue from the 97-01, but manages to look pretty gross. Its pudgy, and in the sport trim, bloated. There were plenty of folks at NAIAS fawning over these cars, and Im not surprised if Toyota sells every one they make. But its not as great as its made out to be.

Thats funny. I got myself a Solstice yesterday. Its the 1:24 Maisto "Assembly Line" model kit. (EDIT: same as posted above) It comes in pieces, and you put it together. At first, I missaligned the screw that holds the engine-windshield piece in place. The clamshell hood wouldnt close, so it looked like an early build LOL. I fixed the problem by removing said screw. Its on my desk in front of me as I type this. Looks great. Only 11 bucks Canadian.

O RLY? I couldnt believe it in Detroit (thats my hand). You try it at your local car show.

Scary. A cheaper, Chinese SMART.

I like the way you think.

Only on C&G can you go from new Toyota pickup to BMW SUV's.

Happy Birthday Josh. B)

I predicted way wrong. I thought the Banshee would get more than the other concepts. Its worth alot more than what it went for.

..and no Corinthian Leather?

Ill vouch for that. Look no further than Miss Universe 2005, Natalie Glebova. errr...sorta on topic:

DCX publicity stunt?

This is getting interesting. "SPOT THE C&G MEMBERS" Id love to see your pics.

Here is a gallery with my pictures from the show. CLICK ME

No, but the dude sorta looks like me, yeah.

Holy $h! Petra. That was around the same time. I wonder if Im on your pics and your in mine? I was standing by the display screen. I was there for the whole talk the guy gave. Id love to see your pics for reference. EDIT: I sneaked a pic at your photobucket album. In the picture of the SKY, the guy and girl with the colorful belt are indeed the same couple behind the Camaro in my pics. It was around the same time. LOL we probably passed each other.

My name is Ted. People call me Ted.

The Aura concept is at NAIAS. Maybe Chicago will have the production version?

I was at NAIAS on Sunday Jan 15. The first thing I did was run to the Camaro Concept. It is AMAZING in person. There was a crowd of people 5 deep for the whole time I was there. Amazing stuff. Here is a gallery of pictures I took: http://www3.sympatico.ca/tedkrygier/camaro/camaroconcept.htm Check out that crowd! My NAIAS gallery
