Today is the LA auto show, and I had a blockbuster day lined up. Through StreetFire I’ve met all sorts of great people from the designer of the new Camaro to the Product Manager on GT-R. Today I had meetings lined up back to back and was going to be at all the great reveals.
Guess what? Had to take a miss. Started last night at 5:00 PM and 27 hours later I’m still at my desk, I literally just got back from having breakfast at 6:30PM. Luckily I have great people working for me so we still got our coverage. Alexis just rang me up and said he has a brilliant interview with the Product manager of the 370Z hot on the heals of the Mustang reveal I was supposed to be at last night, but I have to say i’ts just torture having to take a personal miss on this show. Karan did a fantastic job lining up our partner coverage as well. The Mustang footage from yesterday looks great too….
…it just sucks that yet again I’m stuck back at the desk getting deals done….*sigh*…..
My little sis and brother in law just traded in the “Sally the Maly” on a Mini Cooper S Convertible. Because my daily driver is a Nissan GT-R, one would think I wouldn’t find these cars that exciting to drive. If you thought that you would be wrong though. The Mini Cooper is an absolute hoot to drive and feels like a little go kart in traffic. Pick the convertible version and you would have to be a Vulcan to keep from grinning ear to ear.
First, HUGE THANK YOU TO EDMUNDS! Very cool to put on this event and let Nissan owners get the first sneak peak at this car. Very classy. Second, I’m sorry these photos are so blurry, I had the exact wrong settings on my little point and shoot. Third, I have to say stills do not do this little car justice. The 370Z has all sorts of great angles and curves that create a lot of drama in the design. Anyhow, here is the slideshow, stills and insider info on the GT-R after the jump
