2002 C230 Coupe Black/Charcoal C5 C7 Auto
pics from Houston Autoshow 2004
Last weekend was the Houston, TX 2004 autoshow. There were a few nice cars but I think last year was better in term of concept vehicles. In term of freebies Chrysler was giving away hand rolled premium cigars and demonstrated on how they are rolled and how to enjoy them properly 
I also have an mpeg4 video of the custom c-coupe 360degree about 5.5mb but i have no webspace to host it. please email me if anyone wants to host it for me. thanks.
Custom C230k coupe at MB booth. Minus the funky spoiler, the muffler and the paint job and its not so bad.
This one is for Buellwinkle '05 Mustang GT
New Jag XJR, and way cheaper than the XKR. The whole 'R' thing seems to be getting popular with European cars now

2005 Corvette, a lil bit of inspiration drawn from Modena 360 but for alot less $$$$$.
My fav concept of the show. Just the right size, the right specs, and lots of carbon fiber. They also had a 400hp Caddy CTS-V on per specs with BMW M5.
Lexus concept SUV. Note the LED headlights instead of Xenons. Also seems to be a new trend among concepts.
They only had the Maybach 57 and not the 63
so I didnt get to see the cool sunroof!

Volvo S60 R (another R). AWD 300hp. For the size I think its a lil under powered (IMO).
Quick specs: 1969 Mustang, 1970 Mustang Boss, 1969 Boss 429, and Shelby 500GT.
