iM Event Coverage: 2013 Calgary International Auto Show
A bunch of us got to check out the Calgary International Auto Show that rolls into town every year. All the dealerships bring in a bunch of cars to the show, and its basically a big showoff of all the automakers cars, and then some. Didn’t take too many pics, and excuse the randomness, but here are a few of the cars that caught my eye.
VIP Accord in the Honda Booth. Not too bad in execution, it seems weird being an Accord, but they tried. Check out the baller VIP tray and seat stitching. Not sure what I think of the exhaust though.
Honda Gear prototype. Kinda neat, EG Civic sized. Obviously prototype since the wheels, calipers, and rotor were all one piece.
Fisker Karma, the solar panel roof stands out more on this color than on the dark color they had last year.
Bronze Aston Martin, such a gorgeous color.
McLaren booth.
The color on this Lamborghini was easily my favorite colored car at the show. Looks a little bit darker in person, but it was a flat grey with a clearcoat.
Crazy race FR-S in the Scion booth. Flared out, gutted interior, and some makeshift aero. Taillights look so much better all red, thats how they should’ve come.
BMW M6 Gran Coupe in Frozen Silver. The color is so subtle, yet so captivating.
Porsche 911 Carrera 4S. Love this body style.
Chrome wrapped Lambo in the ZR Auto booth. Are we in Dubai? Not a bad idea, but the wrap itself doesn’t look too good, seems like it would scratch and scuff easily.
Plasti-Dipped FRS in the Matrix Motorsports booth. Wild color, and sick headlights, I just don’t like the feel and texture of Plasti-Dip, seems too rough.
And last but not least, the Volkswagen Performance Booth! This one is special because out very own JC was manning this booth. He was given the task of taking this Golf, and outfitting it with a bunch of Volkswagen accessories.
