Concept Cars and Husbands at Pebble Beach 2011

Last week the car world was all about the Frankfurt Auto Show.  The talk was how many manufacturers though coming off record years for sales growth, Porsche reports 43% sales growth, are still cautious.  Cars are a necessity for most people but for others who consider cars a passion, they were awarded the first look at the maker’s more interesting concept cars and new offerings this year at Pebble Beach.

BMW 348 Hommage Concept

Jaguar Project C-75

Much more exciting side view.  Not your old fart Jaguar is it?

Lotus Evora GTE Concept

And now for the ugliest unveiling….

Not likely to ever come to market – a regurgitation (they said so) of a previous concept… in poop brown!

The New (sort of) Cadillac Ceil.  Yeah, a throwback to the old days of the four door convertible – not going to see this ghetto cruiser as a reality.  Seriously, is this where our $50 billion went?  Bring me a diaper.

2012 Fisker Karma

They needed a bucket to wipe up the pool of saliva surrounding this four door beauty.  Gorgeous from every angle.  You’ll get the full run down on this after I test drive it next week.  This is what Porsche should have done with the Panamera – rather than build an ugly $75,000 – $173,000 ++ hatchback.  Last year at the event I heard someone liken the Panamera as the ugliest car since the Pacer – so it’s not just me.

While walking around during set-up on Saturday we were lucky to see some celebrities.

The kind way to keep bad birds away.

As big as he looks he is light because his bones are hollow.

Now this is a concept… Kyle MacLachlan as stand-in for my husband. 😉
