New G-Wagon holds a glass of cold water in its boot





Acura gives McLaren a run for the money in BRIGHTEST METALLIC ORANGE paint sweepstakes








GMC says this new diesel produces 445 hp and 910 pounds-ft of torque. How did they do it?






Lincoln is coming close behind with their V6 hybrid producing a whale of a lot of power too.




VW promises an electric delivery trike that can carry 450 lbs and its cargo hold is "self-leveling" to hold ice, hot dogs, pizzas, packages, etc




And we see yet another version of the I.D. Buzz (or as they said just Buzs) but no details on production. Nothing. Bah. 
It's electric and could be AWD if they put more motors on the back wheels. But when will they MAKE and SELL it?



Instead we got a look at the electric Pike's Peak race car that went for gold on electric and ended up as fastest car ever up the mountain -  7:57 seconds.



Speaking of mountains, these blue Toyota trucks were nice



and this GMC truck / snowmobile is only "new" in that it appears in the manufacturer's booth rather than at SEMA or some wacky Finnish inventor's shed.




and if you need something to pull there were a pack of Airstream trailers to choose from -- new style



and traditional.



Chevy had a few trucks on show too,



although I felt using the name "Blazer" on this ho-hum design really devalues the heritage of that name



kinda RAV-4ish to me



My feet are complaining and my back aches, so I will stop here and rest in the first class lounge seat of the Maybach (pronounced My Back!)

The theme in the outside tent was BYE BYE BEETLE as it dies for the final time. Souvenir book OK, enough nostalgia and foolishness (and a nice bacon waffle and egg sandwich on brioche bun) and I'm on to the main event. Please join me. ...

(but the forward mounted mirrors look very non OEM) Takes me back to my beetling days 30 yrs ago, esp 2nd car on 1st picture with SoCal lowered suspension, empi alloys with skinny front & wide rear tyres. Thanks for the memory lane Mike! Cheers, Giles

Details on the LC500 ~ $100,000 - it was flashy yellow to catch your eye!

 
 By: cazalea : November 28th, 2018-10:57
Here's the LC 500. It's actually only $92,500 plus shipping and handling - but I'm sure any dealer worth his salt will option it to $100+ Personally, these grilles turn me off. And the shape is awkward, like its back is slightly broken I don't get it. It ...

It’s a mob scene here

But not at the Lincoln booth, it's serene here all the better to sip our champagne. The mobs are elsewhere! Like here Toyota, where you can see the gang of press and dealers who thronged into each media event All these people and cameras to see the new Pr...

Here are the "rock"ers

This is the mob scene I was referring to before (tongue-in-cheek). The Jeep Gladiator Pickup was awesome, the music was deafening and the strobe lights blinding. Plus all those guys in front of me were blocking my shots (wah!) They drove 3 trucks right be...

A few interesting OLD and/or RARE cars

 
 By: cazalea : November 28th, 2018-18:07
Ghastly color on this Lotus, but I guess it's the corporate purple... This is outrageously flashy too and of similar restricted appeal (IMHO) A nice row of A-M Likewise a row full of Bullitts and shades of the Seventies and maybe even A-Team Do you like y...
