Auto shows aren't astir arsenic breathtaking arsenic they utilized to be, but astatine this year's Munich centrifugal show, we still saw immoderate beautiful cool cars. Among different things, location was the mini Hyundai Concept 3 hatchback, Volkswagen's ID Cross crossover concept, the accumulation Polestar 5, a Mercedes-AMG GT XX concept that's tin of megawatt charging, the accumulation Mercedes-Benz GLC EV, the accumulation Honda Prelude and the accumulation BMW iX3. 

I didn't get to spell this year, but it did get maine reasoning astir what I've really enjoyed astir car shows successful nan past. There was, of course, nan New York Auto Show, wherever I had an informal question and reply that led to maine yet moving crossed nan state to activity for MotorTrend, but I don't cognize if that really counts arsenic my favourite memory. Personally, I enjoyed nan 2015 Detroit Auto Show overmuch more, arsenic it was my first existent car show and besides had an fantabulous database of some concepts and accumulation car reveals, including nan Infiniti Q60 concept, nan caller Acura NSX, some nan caller Ford GT and nan Shelby GT350R, nan Hyundai Santa Cruz conception and moreover nan Buick Avenir concept. Now that was an breathtaking show. 

That said, I deliberation my existent favourite representation from an car show is overmuch much specific. The adjacent year, I ended up astatine nan VLF Automotive booth for nan charismatic uncover of nan Force 1. Remember VLF Automotive? When Bob Lutz teamed up pinch Henrik Fisker to shove nan V8 from a ZR1 into nan Fisker Karma, past followed it up pinch a Dodge Viper But Fancy (and ugly)? It was a surreal experience, not only being specified feet from Bob Lutz.

But it was besides listening to him talk wholly earnestly astir really awesome it was that you could get a Viper pinch a typical holder for your champagne. You know, because you decidedly don't want nan champagne you're taking to meal to rotation astir connected nan level for illustration immoderate inexpensive prosecco you picked up astatine Trader Joe's. It would person been ridiculous nary matter what, but I besides happened to beryllium opinionated adjacent to Jason Torchinsky (RIP) and met him successful personification for nan first clip while making nosy of Bob Lutz. Torch astir apt doesn't retrieve it, but it was nan astir nosy I'd had astatine an car show astatine that point, and I mean, Torch is was Torch (RIP).

What astir you, though? What's your favourite car show memory? Be judge to fto america cognize down successful nan comments.
