Well, maybe not all of the lights, but a handful from the Cincinnati Auto Show 2011. I love going to these things.
This year was a bit boring. Not many preview vehicles or concepts, and though I feel pretty good about the general direction of exterior design in cars of late, it’s the interiors that are becoming irksome. Cheap materials, weird curvy consoles.
Things just aren’t feeling solid.
Back to the outside, fanciful headlamp and taillight designs are blowin’ up with LEDs. I think they’re good for visibility and anything that distracts automakers from making more scallop shapes is dandy with me.
Promotional materials called these “Dragon Eye Headlamps.”
(My favorite muscle car of the new bunch even a few years into it’s reintroduction, blind spots be damned.)
Lastly, I’m miffed that Nissan wasn’t set up. Really wanted to see what a Juke was like on the inside.
