Agreed on the Converj.....first truly beautiful Cadillac in years. Great slide show.

Not only is the Converj a beauty, the Stingray "Show Car" concept should also be built ASAP! Go GM! Great slideshow, too!

I agree....I love the Stingray...time for revolutionary vs. evolutionary and embrace the ballsy spirit of the 1963 Vette that blew people away. Just as the Provoq turned out to be a very thinly disguised look at the new SRX, I now and again wonder if the Converj is a sneak peak of the ATS.

Miami's auto show is underrated. Thanks for sharing!

GMusa · 10-31-2009, 01:33 PM

I really like that 9-5!

Nice set of pictures. Not big on that "Ed Hardy" looking Lamborghini though. The concept of being seen in a Lamborghini is defeated when the owner is camoflaged next to it.

I've got to admit, that 9-5 doesn't look too bad. The tail lamps look busy & very stylish at the same time.

i was a little skeptical before i saw the pictures, but then i fell in love, that is a gorgeous Corvette.

Those are by all means press / promo quality shots! Absolutely great!

All the cars look good in those photos (including the ZDX!) except for the Lexoid small hybrid. It just looks bad.

The Saab looks very different from the other cars thanks to its clean, rounded surfaces. The lighting in the Saab stand plays nicely with the paint, but I believe Saab should make an even better use of the striking difference between how the Saab looks against all the other "flame surfaced" cars.

Somehow I never saw the interior of the Converj before, I don't like it at all.

As for Hyundai, the Equus somehow looks last-gen compared to other cars - perhaps it's the amount of sports and supersports cars in the set... And Hyundai's idea of "tuning" the Genesis Coupe seems to consist of removing the grille...

yes!

And a few other points:

I love Maserati's coupe, I think the ZDX looks pretty awkward (even the very fine photo quality cannot save it), and the Equus, although not something I'd ever buy, looks like another strong vehicle from Hyundai, of all companies. Sad that Hyundai occupies a relatively broad range of the U.S. car market that Buick should be occupying.

The Equues is trying way too hard to be something its not...Its kinda embarrassing

BlekherBob · 11-01-2009, 11:40 AM

The Equus is a joke and anyone who buys a "luxury" hyundai is a fool considering the existence of well-established true luxury brands.

The same could be have been said of Lexus when they came to market...
