NY Auto Show Press Day Feedback

hockey21 · 03-25-2016, 07:43 AM

If anyone can get to NYC this week, you should check it out.

M3 Comp package was awesome.

M4 GTS.. i am not a fan, totally underwhelmed by it

Mercedes AMG stand rocked. they will have c450 AMG out this summer. BMW needs to step it a bit.

Acura NSX great, Lexus came out with a new grand touring coupe

Alfa Romeo Guilia is awesome

Porsche 911 R- Fantastic

Audi has some awesome colors and models coming out. R8 Plus is sweet

Overall Feeling is that BMW needs to step it up a bit

if anyone wants to accept pictures VIA Text, PM Me- i'll send some over. for some reason i can't upload.

I like what Mercedes is doing as well - just wished they still had cars with manuals. That and I still feel like they have an old guy stigma (and I'm not young!).

I may be walking over to the show this afternoon.

MB is doing exactly w the Amg models as BMW did w the M sport models... they are badge whoring, they learned that from BMW and that it works well from a marketing perspective. Outside of the C63 and S class as well as AMG GTS, there is nothing special there. BMW has the new 7 , M3, M4 , M5 , M6 , M2, i8 as well as the X5m and X6m... A lot of great choices.

Went to yesterdays press day.

Became a little school girl by the sight of the GTRs. 911r was legit. Volvo had a pretty nice display at their booth. BMW M4 GTS was cool, but didn't leave that too lasting of an impression.

Alfa Romeo models were beautiful. As were the cars.

Why was the M3 ZCP buried in the back corner? Terrible spot, bad lighting, etc.

they do move the cars around on different days. who knows they might change it?
