Wow - some lovely stuff there..

what's with the little Alfa though - that doesn't look right at all..(IMO)

The new Hyundai (eek) actually looks rather nice I think - If the spec are anything like what they annouced some time ago that could well be one to watch :-)

Great pics Mustang!

I remember this car:

Mid engined Yaris running MR2 turbo with over 300bhp, was in Redline this time last year.

What's that blue Porsche thing based on?

That is the alfa Mito, I'm still undecided about the front view, It's looks great from th side and rear though. It'll be sub 147, supposed to compete with the mini, et al. Will be available with the 1.4 Turbo engine 155bhp, supposed to be a GTA version in development as well. Very nice interior.

I got nabbed at the hyundai stand, Apparently the genesis is ready to go into production for the American market. I think teh options are ~V8 or 2L turbo. They are apparently testing the water for european market -looks good.

Nice pics Mustang.
That Conv Honda is supposed to be the basis for the next S2000 - looks a little pudgy and also FWD!

I've seen so many pictures of the GTR now that its actually starting to date in my eyes and it hasn't even been released yet!

Hyundai are still insisting on showing the Concept Genesis rather than the actual model that will hit the showrooms - can't say I blame them!

I like the look of the convertable honda, but if you take a closer look, it just seems to be a civic hatch with the roof removed and a slight reworking of front and rear.

A much better looking prospect was the CR-Z like a modern day CRX. It was difficult to get a decent snap of it though becasue of it's location on the stand.

I really like the look of that suzuki kizashi, lets hope it has something more substantial than a 1L under the bonnet. :wink:

Also that silver cadillac coupe, is a very menacing looking machine. :twisted:

I could see it catching on like the Chrysler 300C.

Looked too out of proportion to be a 911 Carrera in Mustangs pic, thought maybe it was a kit car. this one shows the side too, looks more Porschey!

cool stuff.

Colm to answer your question, I don't know. I couldn't get a close enough look. They had the big red car and one other one as well from the film. Obviously there for the kids, but when the kids (not mine btw) stud in beside the cars for photos they were ushered away :roll:

The had a podium for the kids to stand on but when they did, you could not get a proper shot of those cars in the back ground. I mean It's not as if they are shiney show cars, or even valuable.
Some people have no cop on. Some jobsworth running that stand who presumably didn't like kids. :smt072

God there's some lovely cars there. Isn't it mad that they come up with such nice stuff just as petrol is getting to expensive to buy.
