Automobility 7 Drive in Style

 

Driving in style and performance seems to me to be an eminently PuristS sort of thing to do. Who could be more stylish than the Italians?










Occasionally some other brands have stylish cars too. Acura is coming back from the doldrums, and showed the NSX and a new concept sedan.











Honda has a new Civic Si




Not all show cars are red. There are lots of black and white ones, which are usually boring. But not always.


Infiniti's booth nearly blew my camera's mind. Could there ever be a more camera-challenging environment than a car show?






The new Lexus nose doesn't excite me. Sorry.



But the Mercedes booth had lots of fun cars.









Notice the complete lack of rear legroom in the Maybach convertible






This E-Class AMG 6.3 Bi-Turbo 4Matic certainly has a long name. I think it's a car you'll want to keep for a long time, too. 








BMW didn't seem to have much to show or say this year.





Mini was ho hum.




The Viper looks the same as it ever did, I believe. Even if I missed some of the car, this shot was in focus. 
These boots cost about $2000 and she gets to take them home, as well as the leather dress which you will see later ...



She gets to keep the boots. They are worth thousands $$.

This is a Porsche. I completely missed Maria Sharpanova as she walked by, because I was staring up at a 6' 2" blonde on 5" heels.





Oh yes, here's the car.



While we are shooting white cars, I find this new Volvo XC very attractive. It might have to be my next "real" car, if I can just part with a few of the ones I already have.







Audi was in its usual spot, in the midst of things.





Hyundai and Genesis were across the hall and the Genesis cars are stunning!



Obviously a watch-loving Purist is on the styling team of this brand.









Now if they only made a station wagon, I'd have to think twice about the Volvo.



I think I'll stop here and cover trucks in the next segment. This is the Honda Ridgeline / iPhone rest stop.
