Title: 2005 Tokyo Motor Show
Post by: roguegeek on October 20, 2005, 09:38:09 AM

The 2005 Tokyo Motor Show is over and you can catch a pretty comprehensive report over at The Car Connection (http://www.thecarconnection.com/Auto_News/Car_Shows/Tokyo_Auto_Show/2005_Tokyo_Motor_Show_Index.S291.A9478.html) and Motor Trend Online (http://motortrend.com/autoshows/coverage/112_tokyo_motor_show/). Some of my favorites are the Nissan GT-R (http://www.thecarconnection.com/scrapbook-popup.asp?ScrapbookID=1065&Position=4), Toyota i-swing, Mitsubishi Concept-X, VW EcoRacer (http://www.thecarconnection.com/scrapbook-popup.asp?ScrapbookID=1062), and Ferrari GG50 Concept. The Toyota Supra concept was mysteriously missing from the show. Anything out there catch your eyes?

Maybe it is the angle, but that Ferrari looks like poo to me. I thought Italians had better style than that. :dunno:

I like the look of the Mitsu Concept-X. Much better than the older Lancer Evos if they retain the styling as it is there. Others may like that angular styling, but the new one looks a lot more muscular.

I like the Mazda Senku, personally.

And as always I am still in love with the Bugatti Veyron.

I seriously wish that BMW would continue the lineup with a Mini CooperT, a turbocharged Mini Cooper. For variety, ya know?

The Skyline and the Evo are hot!

The Ferrari does look like a Cadillac concept. They need to crash test that thing. GG stands for "Good Gawd!"

The space age ladies look like something from Barbarella
