BMW back at the Chicago Auto Show

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
Went to the auto show this year and was surprised to see BMW back at it after many years without an appearance. G80 looked great and was getting a LOT of compliments from passers by. Convinces me that most of the people who incessantly hate on it do so either out of spite, haven't seen it in person, or do so because it's the popular thing to do. I fully acknowledge some people genuinely don't like the appearance, but I personally love it and can't wait to order mine.

Other notes:
-The LC is stunning as always
- The IS500 is exciting but the interior and tech kill it for me
- The Giulia QF (not pictured) I absolutely loved the steering wheel and how it felt in my hands. Unfortunately that was the only part of the interior that I liked.
- The new Z actually looks great in person. Love the proportions, love the retro back, even liked the front.

What the hell is Nissan doing with the new Z?

No lines, no style, no agression, nothing. At best, it simply looks unfinished. Is that the release version??!

They’ve grafted the styling of the 240Z onto the hard points of the 370Z.

It's still in the prototype phase, but this is close to the final product. Maybe it doesn't come across in pictures well, but in person I thought it looked great. I do remember seeing early press images of the prototype and thinking it looked weird.

I was very disappointed that the G83 was not there. On the Auto Show website, it listed the M4 Convertible as one of the cars that would be on display.

No bullshit, I thought it was a Tesla. I have never been a fan of the "Z" but this is a Tesla rip off.
