Wild cars.

Some thoughts:

I wish all automakers had Honda's attitude about manuals.

There is talk the LA auto show will replace the Detroit Auto show before long as North America's premier auto show. Cobo Hall is a dump. Detroit is a dump.

The Lambo suicide doors on the Audi may not be as far out as you think. In a world of tighter and tighter parking stalls, the Lambo door makes sense. You can get hinge kits to convert practically anything now. With the doors opening mostly in the vertical, pivoting to the rear would not be as "suicide" as the horizontally pivoting conventional door.

Yeah the aero rear end was badly done. Basjoos' DIY aero job looks better. "Paging Chip Foose! Paging Chip Foose!"
