Tokyo Auto Salon 2010

Hybrids galore... will the trend carry over to the States?

Tokyo Auto Salon 2010

We are here in Tokyo Japan for the 2010 Tokyo Auto Salon and have posted up our coverage over on our brother site, www.tunerzine.com.  Interestingly enough it was difficult to walk through the halls and not see a Prius or an Insight to the left or right of you... or in front or behind you.  Hybrids were everywhere in all shapes and forms and best of all... tuning styles.  We're excited to see whether or not this customizing trend will carry over to the Stateside with so many manufacturers embracing the green world.  Make sure to check out all of our coverage and here are some of our favorites after the jump.

Tjin Edition RoadShow Camaro

Come check out this beautiful piece of machinery at the LA Auto Show

Tjin Edition RoadShow Camaro

Earlier last week I scoured the gigantic halls of the LA Convention Center covering the LA Auto Show.  I wanted to make mention for those that are in the local area to be sure to stop by the UTI Booth where the Tjin Edition RoadShow Camaro is being displayed.  This is definitely one of the nicest Camaros we've seen built yet, and I personally love the color theme on the exterior.  So head on over and stop by to check out the car.  More photos of this monster after the jump.

SEMA 2009: Leather Exterior?

This is definitely a first for cars!

SEMA 2009: Leather Exterior?

SEMA is notorious for cars coming out of the woodwork sporting all new trends, designs and builds.  This sporty minivan is aggressive in its own right, dumped to the ground with a nice kit.  From afar it almost looks like it's sporting flat red paint, but the diamond-stitching on the hood raises eyebrows.  A closer look pulls off that the entire car has been rewrapped with leather.  Thoughts?  Close up photo after the jump.

Rusnak Auto Group Unveils Jaguar XJ, Rolls-Royce Ghost and Porsche Panamera

The Rusnak Auto Group hosts a night of luxury with three much anticipated debuts

Rusnak Auto Group Unveils Jaguar XJ, Rolls-Royce Ghost and Porsche Panamera

I was fortunate enough to cover A Night of Luxury presented by the Rusnak Auto Group tonight.  Several much anticipated debuts were made at the event starting with the Jaguar XJ then onto the Rolls-Royce Ghost and finally the Porsche Panamera.  After months of staring at photos of all three of these cars, it was quite the experience to see each of them in person before they hit the dealership lots.  The Panamera was by far the most anticipated of the night and I have to say it looks much better in person than in photos.  The Ghost wasn't too shabby either, but having Miss California around did help.  The car is impressive though in person.  Check out more photos after the jump!
