Boston Auto Show

Hi All,

This is my first Post in TBHP, and fortunately I got a chance to actually visit the New England Auto Show Held In Boston recently, and it was a good treat for auto enthusiasts. The Main attraction though was the Tesla Roadster(All electric Powered), Audi R8, with Lambs, Ferrari, Astons making special appearance and I will let the pictures speak for them.

More Emphasis was on the Hybrid cars, and maybe the next gen will be going the Hybrid way. From Chevrolet to Honda, Toyota to Ford all were advertising Hybrids and is the next phase for the Auto Industry with tall claims in the MPG levels for each of them. I saw a few ripoffs of designs by KIA(some may agree to it,but it seems to be phase by phase plagiarism from the Japanese Stable of Honda and Nissan).

Surprisingly there was no Cruze or Beat in the GM stable, and it seems the Cruze is far of launch in 2011( maybe they did not want the Malibu sales be eaten up) and the Beat is for space constraint countries.

P.S. Mods please move the thread where appropriate, since I thought a few of the cars advertised here are/will be finding their way in Indian Scenario..(ford fiesta(new) and the Prius, Yaris)

Seems Chevy had a lot to show off. Some looks great too.

I love the A3 but this one looks too toyish ( with an Aura alloy )

Beautiful pics. Makes my day thank you. Whats with that flat head Nissan. Another one with velvet interiors ? The Lexus has its grill ripped off straight from the ANHC or vice versa. The Lambos, the Ferraris and Audis were awesome. Thanks for sharing.

Nice pics bro.
The R8 V10 looks very tacky. Those rims and the front grille don't go well with the car and make it look very unsophisticated IMHO. The exhausts too. The V8 R8 does it for me.

Awesome stuff, and you lucky... you!

What in the world is that Nissan Cube? That is a jap design, definitely not something for the European market. Would you happen to have a front and profile shot of it?

The Lexus Hybrid has an oh-so-ANHC grille. Don't you think?

No offense to animal rights activists, but the inside of that lambo looks like shredded cat.

If you guys are referring to the grey one, it is a Superveloce LP670-4, a tribute to the LP640 which I guess, is gonna make way for it's successor. And the interior is stock.
