Went to the Pittsburgh Autoshow last night, and I have to say that it was a bit dissapointing. Apparently, Pittsburgh is fairly small potatoes in the automotive world, so we got fairly shafted on getting "cool" cars at the show. There were at least a few things that were picture-worthy, however..

Mmmmmm... hot M3 action. This one was equipped with the TipTronic paddle shifter... very F1.

It's kinda hard to tell from this photo, but the Porsche Cayenne had absolutely massive exhaust pipes... duals on each side, 4 total.

Sat in this cute little Cooper Mini... I noticed that it had toggle switches. I love toggle switches on anything!

There was an Aston Martin V12 Vanquish there. A gorgeous hand-built car; perfect if you've got a spare quarter million lying around.

One of the cooler cars there was the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution. Even though they're not competing in the WRC rallys this year, they're still bringing the street-legal version of their WRC car to the states. 271 hp and 273 ft/lb torque; that's kinda sweet. Now, if only they would do something about that garish styling... the back wing is a bit big:

There were a few other cool concept cars there, the Chevy SSR "street truck", and a really swanky Thunderbird Forty-Nine that looks like it came right out of ZZ-Top's garage:

There were some dissapointing no-shows, too. The VW area didn't have the R32 or the 20th anniversary GTI, and Subaru didn't have the WRX STi there, either. Oh well, maybe next year.
