yea the Javitts center has two stadium sized floors dedicated to the cars. everything you can imagine, lotus, lambo, ferrari, i dont recall seeing the hummers tho... but i wouldnt have gone and saw them if they were there anyhow lol.

1revvin7: yea i took the pic of the CHevy SS just so i can get a comparison shot between it and the rx8. i swear in person they look almost identical, i mean even the WHEELS are pretty much the same. the SS is longer and has pistons tho...and some camaro headlights. If that thing makes it to production i hope the get sued or something....no one seemed interested in it anyway they didnt even have a speaker for it.

djgiantrobot: you're on that team? true true. That lexus was hot, one of the only one's actually "fenced off" that were on the floor though which sorta pissed me off, but hey it costs a lot to make that, and since you say it's a functioning race car i could see why it was fenced off.

see this is why the NY Autoshow is a must see lol, if my digi cam had more space (only got to take 30 pics or something then it filled up) i would've got pics of all the rice that was there, it was incredible. they had the 2f2f evo 7 and eclipse there (the eclipses bodykit was destroyed) and a ton of other cool updated versions of current cars. this year there weren't too many concepts compared to previous years tho.

If I'm not mistaken, Ford owns Mazda...I'm no lawyer but I don't think there would be a lawsuit.

Speaking of resemblance between Ford and Mazda...just look at the back of the redesigned Taurus (forget what year, but the first year they were actually curvy) of the mid-late 90s. To me, it looks almost identical to the rear end of an FD.
