NYIAS 2012 Coverage - Day 2

Killa!

We start with a favorite of mine!

I'm noticing hexagonal Grille treatments on every other car. (It's on the FR-S too)

We are going to see this Mondeo/Fusion dethrone the Camrys, Accords, and Sonatas.

A waste of a cool prop on such a dull car

Spindle grilles are still hexagonal in my book.

Good news! Lexus unveiled the first hybrid ES! Anyway...

Infiniti's luxury electric-vehicle doesn't have a name

It does have six sides and six corners on its grille though.

Mr. Shiro Nakamura, senior vice president and chief creative officer of Nissan-Infiniti. #badass

Bucking the trend, Acura concept rocks a pentagon grille.
*Remember when Lotus announced development of an in-house powerplant for its Esprit?
The Acura NSX Should keep them honest.

2014 Mazda 6 is one fine looking mid-size

Svelte looks and SkyActiv. Will it catch the category sleeping?

More than four decades old, the 1971 Porsche 917 LH Martini
  is probably the most incredible car at the show!

Uh oh. What if the only Lincoln that was interesting at the show is already 70 years old?

Taking the fight to BMW, everything seems to be going right for Cadillac and GM

The Nurburgring-tuned chassis is supposed to create the best handling Cadillac sedan ever.
Unfortunately, it also gave the ATS the most cramped Cadillac interior ever.

This KIA GT concept has got them Lamborghini Aventador-J carbon fiber blades!

Close-up

So many flavors!

I love me some T-Rex

And now we jump a couple hundreds of thousands of dollars

Proper. We the 1%, baby.

Mulsanne looks terrific in person

Ebay Finds - Are You Torquing to Me (or not)

Like many petrol heads, the writers of FPH constantly click through page after page of listings on Ebay and dream about the possibilities.  Previous posts have shown things like crazily lusted after race homologations, rare European exotica, and high dollar custom builds.  Today, I decided to get back to my routes and looked for some (relatively) inexpensive Japanese performance.

Autoblog Causes a Runaway Train of Thought

Infiniti Essence Concept

In the past week’s Autoblog, a bit of emphasis has been put upon a seldomly discussed niche— Japanese premium brands. Paul Eisenstein wrote an article on whether Honda has lost its footing, questioning Acura’s direction. Noah Joseph reports plans within Infiniti to anchor their line-up with both an entry-level and halo models.

Feint Drifting over the River and Through the Woods

As a resident of the northern hemisphere, I admit that things can get a bit depressing around this time of year.  The days are getting shorter, the temperature is slowly creeping toward single digits, and it seems like the sun is doing nothing but taunting us.  The good cheer and festive moods of the holiday season do help some but even the holidays are sure to cause a bit of depression.  The two main culprits for this are the slightly enlarged waistlines and those ridiculously large red bows in Lexus commercial!
