2005 SF Int’l Auto Show

For the third year in a row I’ve got pictures from the show floor of the SF International Auto Show. Visiting this show has been a tradition that my dad and I have kept up for nearly my entire life. Click the link to see the more interesting cars that I saw at the show. I have to say that taking pictures there is difficult, even with a great camera like the EOS-5D. The white balance is really tough to get right.

Lexus GS450h
A performance hybrid… I’d be very interested if it wasn’t $65k

Lexus IS250/350
Much nicer than the old one. The IS350 really hauls.

Lexus LF-C concept

Porsche Carrera GT
My God I want one of these

BMW M5
A friend is on the list for one of these monsters. Interior is awfully spartan though.

Audi A3 3.2 Quattro
This is a great car… 250 hp, quattro, DSG transmission with paddle shifters!

Audi RS4
Drool….

Chevy Corvette Z06
505 hp from that huge LS7 engine

Saturn Sky
Looks great, but how will it hold up?

Pontiac Solstice
I like it! The Solstice and the Sky are siblings.

Honda Civic Hybrid
50 mpg… sleek design… intruiging.

Honda Accord Hybrid
This is the ’06 model… will get 29/37 mpg for about 30 grand.

Honda Civic Si
Nice, but I’m not in the right demographic for this one.

Ford Fusion
Best looking Ford in a LONG time. Interior was too plasticky though.

Jaguar XK

VW Passat
Looks remarkably like my A6 (which is no coincidence)

Xebra
Direct from the People’s Republic of China, it’s the electric, three-wheeled Xebra. Looks like something from the USSR during the Cold War!
