    I went to the show on Friday - here are a few pics in random order. As others have mentioned, there were too many brands missing for it to be a worthwhile show. Melbourne was better.

    agreed, and the wheels on the QP look odd, i cant my head around the 599, maybe one day the design will appeal, and the horror............CLS63 which is an E55/63 with bling bling

    The colour doesn't really do the shape a favour - it really needs something like the metallic red or grey IMO - but it is an impressive car. The interior looks particularly good. The car had standard brakes but plenty of carbon fibre inside.

    Here's the grille on the QP. I think it is different from the standard?

    The 20" wheels are trying too hard.

    I didn't realise Bangles had gone to work at HSV the back of the grange is horrid.

    Can't wait to see one of those Alfa's on the road, any know any price guides yet? Or if it's coming here?

    1) I want the CLS63.

    I don't see the "bling" that Goober is mentioning though. I think it's pretty much just average MB looking, the S class is way more bling...

    2) 2 pics of the C30 Volvo?

    I thought I would be the only one here silly enough to do that.

    Exactly, and the grille is kewl.....................did u happen to ask if they are gonna get a dealer in Adelaide that knows whats it is doing.................or did u ask and they look at you as if u were from Mars and ask back Adelaide Who.


    BTW i was at a 40th on Friday night and DS was telling me that Aston will be bought out by Loius Vuitton, and if i want i can get Loius Vuitton trim in my DB9 for next july, i can just see the seats LVAM or AMLV

    the CLS is an the same platform as the E class action and if one can fit anything taller than a 5'4" person in the rear please do it. And the bling is

    ""Bling-bling" (sometimes shortened to simply "bling") is a hip hop slang term which refers to expensive jewelry and other accoutrements, and also to an entire lifestyle built around excess spending and ostentation. In its essence, the term refers to the exterior manifestation of one's interior state of character, normally displayed through various forms of visual stimuli"

    Hence CLS

    their "evolution" has made the car look more like everything else on the road and less original than the previous model.

    I was just about to ask if there was anything worthwhile there...

    Solberg must've dropped his car off in Sydney for the show in between doing stages of Rally Australia over here! :p

    So there was no G Spyder or LP640? 997 GT3? Veyron?
