2016 Detroit Auto Show (NAIAS) Photos (Image Heavy)

Aatish · 01-14-2016, 03:00 PM

Missed out on the window for press day tickets; however my colleague was able to get some distributor/industry day tickets. Anyways, here are some of the photos I shot while over there. My colleague is going to add more to the site gallery, which will be linked below.

Enjoy!

nice pics. I see you used 5,000 x 5,000 pixel size to show great detail.

Thank you. I actually just posted the default for my site.

Nice photos.

The highlight for me was seeing the Giulia QF. That car is absolutely stunning in person. And they had a number of different colors. Too bad it's still a year away - maybe more if there are more delays.

The Lexus LC500 is another one that is truly beautiful. I just don't understand why they don't offer a turbocharged V8 engine though - it's underpowered.

The M2 looks great in person too. LBB is a great color on the car, and contrary to some pictures looks nothing like Estoril or Monte Carlo. There was an Estoril X1 (which also looked nice) at the show so it was easy to compare.

I was also pleasantly surprised to see an F80 M3 in SO at the BMW display. The $100k price tag - due to it being loaded up plus all the M Performance Parts - was eye watering though. I hope my co workers don't see that and assume I spent anywhere close to that on my car.

My heart is calling for an ACR.

Agreed, that Alfa stole my heart. Definitely a contender for my next car.

The LBB in person is stunning. Has way more depth than LSB.

I can't wait to see the Alfa! I'm hoping it steals my heart so it can be my future daily driver practical car! If not then a F80 is in the future... XD

GOLFFRR · 01-15-2016, 07:38 AM

great coverage and awesome pics!

Haywood · 01-15-2016, 07:42 AM

Does anybody think the 2 door AMG (conv) looks a lot like the 6 series??

drewnel22 · 01-15-2016, 09:14 AM

I guess im in the minority here but does anyone else think the Alfa Giulia's front end is hideous? I think the rest of the car looks great however.

gtron · 01-15-2016, 09:30 AM

i was looking at that viper... started feeling like i was having heart palpitations, sweating and then wanted to barf a little. i couldn't believe it was exciting me like that. then i remembered that i had a 5 hr energy like 20 min ago on an empty stomach and it was kicking in strong.

ACR ordered. Fuck it...YOLO!

patb23 · 01-19-2016, 09:21 PM

I was there this past weekend. I do agree that Alfa Romeo Giulia looked so much better in person. especially that dark grey one.

I think it looks much worst in person when I saw it at the LA autoshow.
