*2005 LA AUTO SHOW*-serious dialup warning

they went with a chrome grill one the SR5 4Runner


4R now says AUTO LSD instead of the diagram with X for center diff lock

tacoma interior

Cool rear outlet on the Taco

Toyota family


Forget Outback drawers, how about Barbie drawers!

Corvette was sweet- lots of tricks and quality interior!

Blinged out Sequoia

DVD's slide right into the headrest! Louis Vutton interior! Suede headliner! frickin' nuts...

Showing how KDSS works on the GX

KDSS is a massive, intergrated system- definitely not a plug-in-play option

LX470 interior - showing some info crap on the screen

big FTX- a hint at the next tundra

The bumpers are actually brushed metal! cool

Range Rover- notice the glowing metal trim at bottom- alot of euro cars had this at the show- must be a aftermarket add on?

Inside was ok but damn, Range Rovers are so cheap! crappy door sounds when you close it, cheap metal and plastic


this is cool- is that a 40 rear lite?

biggest. brakes. ever. Ferrari.

Italians just know how to give you the big boner

Pathfinder-yawn

Xterra-better than before, cheapo feel though

This Ford Shelby gave me the big hard one

Corvette door- see the push button activates the door pops open, pretty cool.

Hummer H3- windshield looked all ˟˟˟˟ed&funky



the lower A arms looked so thin and weak

Chrysler showstopper- got to be one of the most stunning- V12 AMG MERC w/4 turbos-850hp in current state.

new Dodge modded out


Interior of the Maybach-amazing!! and the sound system was on, and sounded like a home theater system

Merc V-12 supercar

500- what a piece o crap. Horrendous body gaps, fit & finish. TINY back seats, not much room up front, very clunky everything. Good 3rd world cruiser with all the bling for $100K? Are you f'n kidding me? This would be a great $30K suv w/o all the bling. With the bling it's overpriced lameness.

New GX headlights

New GS again

And the coolest knic-nack. VW had a giant machine making these cool toys on the spot!

Nice pics... Thanks for the great post.

I do have a question though, why are there no shift knobs in the toyotas?

Those are removed on the M/T vehicles before the show or someone else will.

Great comments and photos, FT, thanks! These are the glory days before we'll all be forced to drive hybrids and fuel cells in pods. Did you see the LF-S ? That KDSS is amazing, hope it makes it to the next gen L/C.

AWESOME PICS! Thanks for sharing. I must admit I kind of like the look of that dodge. that would be a cool bumper option from the factory with the winch right in it. The new mustang is absolutely gorgeous, Ford kicked some ass with that one.
