I walked the entire show, but only shot pics of cars that interested me.
Sorry, but Lotus didn't make the cut.

I'll be there tomorrow and will try to get some for you. Let me know if there's anything specific.

Thanks !
Nothing specific Ken, I was planning to order a new Evora in Ardent Red but the new Velvet Red seems nice. So was hoping to see some pictures of the car at the show.

I was at the LA auto show yesterday (Sunday) & was a bit disappointed with Porsche's display of the 991. They had 2 cars (1S pdk & 1 base w' manual..both silver) on the floor. After seeing the pics from Santa Barbara, it would have been nice to see some other colors of the 991 on the floor. I was really looking forward to seeing the 991. My initial reaction is the 997 is a better looking car (they had a GTS cab & a turbo or 2 on the floor along w' cayenne's/cayman's/boxsters). On top of a weak display, both 991's were locked! You couldn't even get inside to check the new car out..WTFO?? If they wanted to create some excitement about the car, they really missed the opportunity (at least from this poster). I'm still looking forward to driving the 991 to see what it's all about. I regret selling my S coupe last year in anticipation of getting a 991. I may be in the market for a GTS or 2nd hand 997.2...I'll wait to drive the new car after the new year & make a decision then.

That was my conclusion as well--not enough colors showing off the new shape. (The Carrera was unlocked for us to play with on Wed, however).

Thanks for the great pics Edge.
I'll skip the show this year. Looks like too much riff-raff.

So the 4S version is going to be even wider?

The Porsche LA show was a bit anticlimactic. Your pics were more interesting. Bringing the new Cab would have sure been exciting.
Now the downstairs tuner world was pretty crazy. I can only imagine a SEMA show.
