New York International Auto Show 2006
April 16th, 2006This Friday through the weekend was the NY International Auto Show (NYIAS). So I went to the auto show, but unforunately was really crammed for time, so only could do and hour and 1/2 there. All shots taken with my 24-105mm f/4L IS USM. Lens was remarkably versatile, esp in the downstairs area that wasn’t as well lit. The only problem I did encounter was some of those revolving platforms move too fast (ie: the new EVO) so getting a crisp pic in somewhat not so bright ambient light didn’t help. Should’ve brought my external flash. (didn’t want to use the popup since I hate the hotspot it creates)

A few things from the show:
- Mistu Evo concept is badass
- 2007 will finally have the super AWD which includes the Super Active Yaw Control (SAYC) that was ripped away in the current Evo from the JDM
- the new STi has the Spec-B as a full time trim (no more limited) and has a trunk pass thru (although rear seats still don’t fold down, but this is definitely a plus)
- Return of the S8 to the US Market as a V10!!!
- RS4 finally on US Shores, and is one badass buddy
- Mistu’s tiny orange hybrid looks badass (for a tiny car)
- Kia’s rice patrol car with 4 recaros (yes in the backseats)
- Kia’s wanna-be bently-benz
- LMAO for a good 15 minutes when I saw those two
- No GTR 2007/8 at the show
