Well....I may as well start with my favourite car of the show...the 2003 Ferrari Enzo. Now I'm not a huge car fan but this car looks awesome from the front and rear. #1 in my books.

Never has an Audi looked this good. The Audi Le Mans Quattro is a fine looking automobile.

This time it was Alfa Romeo's turn to show off. The '8C Competizione' is not quite up to the standard of some of the other jaw droppers but still very impressive.



They had a whole section, the size of the exhibition centre in melbourne, devoted solely to motorbikes. This was one of the most modern looking bikes there, without looking to weird.



You can't go anywhere in Japan without seeing odd 'engrish'. This is no exception. Why anyone would name a car 'Broccoli' I don't know. And this poor model......I bet the other chix at the show weren't exactly vying for positions as the 'Brocolli' model.



The 'Cadillac Sixteen' is definately in my top 5 cars at the show. Those rims are HUGE......and the car just looks mean! The 1000hp, 13.6L, V16 engine certainly helps reinforce this cars beastly status!



I'd like to say Krys looks at home on a Harley.....but.....well..... something about this pic just looks wrong.



This Merc was the first car that krys really liked at the show. She ran over to it and got all excited!! I'm not sure of the price tag but I got a funny feeling, even given krysy's riches, it will be a while before she can afford it.



Well.....here is my #2 favourite car of the show, the 2003 Porsche Carrera GT .The rear styling of this car is awesome but with a price tag of US$450,000 I won't be able to get one til next Christmas!



Click on this car to see the hydrogen intake valve.

Now this car is cool.....doesn't look like much more than a regular RX8 with a few stickers. Guess again! This is the new twin rotor, prototype 'Mazda RX8 RENESIS'. The car uses two injectors in each rotor housing to put hydrogen directly into the intake chambers. Thats right! This car can run on hydrogen and instead of emitting dangerous gasses it emits steam and/or water. This model is able to switch from regular fuel to hydrogen with the flick of a switch. Pure class!

This is Krysy's favourite car at the show. The Mercedes SLR Mclaren. Funky doors and sleek styling.

The 2003 Lamborghini Gallardo has a kinda boxy style that I didnt really like at first....however....the more I looked at it the more I liked it. Makes my top 5.
