LA Auto Show stories and photos

http://www.autoguide.com/auto-news/2...n-the-u-s.html

Good full screen slide show on this one:

Looks only grey/red and lighting makes it look pretty flat. Just can't tell until you see in the flesh.

Thanks for posting these! Did you get a chance to sit in those Euro spec seats? Do they feel much different than the GT2 Sport Buckets we can get here in the US?

I wish. Stuck in Boston. Just pulled these off the net. Full cloth seats and lack of bumperettes suggests this is not a US spec car.

Two more photos. Same car, same location, different photographer. Amazing the difference.

I hear you. I have white/red on order but keep coming back to this combo. Half the photos look dull and the other half just look bad a** cool.

Thank you Nizer!!

My point exactly about the gold option, pictures don't work.
I wish I could see the cars in all color combo's in person in daylight!!

At least I know what white looks like..

Not sure if this is a repost. Grey/gold from another site (believe it's a photoshop).

Car looks absolutely stunning in person! Pictures don't do the car justice in the Gray/Red combo...

Sat in them - the seats are very cushy and supportive, kinda like you're floating on foam. Haven't sat in the leather ones, so cannot compare - BUT definitely MUCH better than the Carrera GT shells. The Carrera GT seats get uncomfortable after about an hour, but I can see myself in these for a road trip!

Grey/Gold looks sick lol, I love the Grey/Red combo as the red pops nicely!

In the end, i'm getting over this whole decal/graphics and look thing, I just want to drive it, it will be one hell of a car!

OK. Just got back from the LA Auto Show. I love the gray/red! You're right, its spectacular in person. Glad I changed my order from white/red to the gray/red.
