I was soo mad that they didnt have the 997 GT3 thereYa, the Porsche display was the worst I've ever seen this year. Two crappy coloured 911's and few other boring cars. :thumbsdow

Honestly, the porsche and ferrari displays were sooooooo horrible!!! In the ferrari display you couldnt even see all the cars properly. Somehow the display that lamborghini puts on every year is by far the best.

Thanks guys :)

Yeah I would not even consider the R8 with that GTR being out. Seeing a car like that makes you rethink where you'd spend $100k for a car. I mean the RS4, the R8, any Porsche Carerra... you know you'd get destroyed on a track OR straight line. That's rough. Nissan created a freak show. It was so funny to see it at the Nissan display, around all the other boring cars there's a caged gorilla.

The new M3, I actually think it's growing on me having seen it in person... I am going to Budds' unveiling & gonna take a spin with a pro driver so we'll see how it is then. But it makes a difference when you're in front of one... it is pretty sweet. I'll wait for the competition edition though :)

As far as the displays, thumbs up to BMW. It was excellent. Porsche was DULL, I must have spent 10 mins there, that's it. Almost like, well the GTR is here, so let's sit in this corner and sulk :). Ferrari was small, but I have to say that 430 Scuderia was just sick. Won me over. Nice to see Aston Martin's DBS. Mercedes was impressive as well although the CL63 feels like an old man car sitting in it. Thing has MASSIVE brakes though, friggin freak calipers.

One surprise for me was BMW's 135i... I love that car! They had the M package in the one there and the seats were sooo comfortable, console was well laid out, nice big fat steering wheel, I liked the look of it... I was really impressed!
