Audi A5/S5

There’s sexy cars, and then there’s sexy cars, and the there’s the A5.

I briefly saw 2 of them pass me by in the streets of Paris last September, but this is the first time I got to really see one.

And as much as I love the E92, this car is sexier. It looks really sleek, like a cat in a car form. And the interior (S5) and ****ing phenomenal!

Loved the rims on the blue one too! Even better then the S5 ones!

Audi R8

What can I say… again, saw it drive by on the street in Paris but this is the first time I got to see it up close, as well as sit inside it.

Interior is great, it’s a luxurious cockpit… you feel hugged and strapped in for take off, which is probably close to the truth.

By far the most beautiful exotic-type car.

BMW M3

Simply stunning. The car oozes power and performance. Less sexy then the S5, but definitely much more brutish and muscular. If I would have the money, it would be on order already.

BMW 1er Coupé

The car looks really good… but it lack a certain something. I wish it had a better interior and a bit more sexiness from the 3er coupé.

Although it could be the lousy colours selected, silver (boring) and the red from the promo pcituresw hich doesn't suit the car IMO.

Final verdict will be delivered after an eventual test drive

BMW X6

Wow…it just blew my mind. First off, I’m not that big of a fan of trucks/SUVs, and second, I found some of the 3/4-rear pictures a little weird and goofy at times.

But in the metal it looks perfect, a real badass. The truck looks great from every angle and it screams uniqueness and individuality. Just fantastic… I expect a total sell out in the first year.

To sum it up, it’s the Z4 Coupé of trucks/SUVs.

Mercedes-Benz

Nothing really new from MB, but they still did manage to bring some beauties.

Porsche

Volkswagen

Big dissapointment, they only have one Tiguan and it wasn't even accessible to the public?!

Aston Martin

Very disappointed because the DBS was not present (not even a DB9)... but the V8 Vantage is still worth gawking at.

Maserati

First time I see the GranTurismo in the metal and I must say that it is simply a gorgeous car! My favourite Italian for sure... beats any Ferrari IMO!

Lexus IS-F

Much to my surprise it looks much better then in pictures… where I found it to be extremely ricey. In the flesh it looks a lot less ricey and it is pretty nice, but nowhere near as nice as the M3.

New Cadillac CTS

Simply put... boooooooooooring. No different then previous generation, seems like the same thing only rearranged slightly differently. No threat to the Germans in term of design.
