I went to the IAA yesterday, so here are some pictures.
Unfortunately I couldn't go on a trade day, so apologies for the crowds.

Nicest looking car there is the Brabus Rocket (M5 is 2nd), I don't know WTF all these other makers are thinking with the thin 2 tone Vauxhall VX style alloys, they are ridiculous. The 1 series facelift made me lol just as much now as it did when I first saw the pictures in the other thread.

What a hideous car!
 
All cars are becoming either beautiful or utterly hideous. Out of all those pics theres not a single 'middle ground' car except maybe the focus and merc 4x4.
 
Some beautiful designs in that lot but that Audi urban concept is just freaky.

Thanks for the great pics. :)
 
ooh very nice. thanks for sharing.

Those Hamann X6s really are hideous.. I often see some vulgar painted "Tycoon" models here. That Maserati SUV would sell well here though!

the Focus ST looks great apart form those new tail lights, they really stand out on this picture,what were they thinking.

the Beetle R would even be quite cool without the chrome and the Spoiler.

My thoughts exactly, one extreme to another!

That Audi quattro looks nice, looks like the original. There's a maserati in therethat looked really awkward at the rear doors, i really don't like any of the Mansory / Hamann cars, That Citroen van, i saw that a few weeks ago too, it's really strange but somehow it works, i really hope they make it. The M5 doesn't do anything for me, maybe when i see it in the flesh, but even the E60 M5 stood out against the rest of the 5 series range, the F10 just looks like another 5 by the looks of it. The 1 series has taken a step back andis ugly again! The i8 looks good, as does the M3 saloon
 
Challenger, M5, 2 ferraris i dont know the names of, the XK and *dons flame suit* the Panamera i think all look great. Oh and the Lambos but that goes without saying :p
 
Mostly hideous. The entire BMW line-up seems to have descended into ugliness once again, with the exception perhaps of the new M5. It still astounds me that people buy Mansory, Hamann, Brabus et al styling products. They all look atrocious.

That said, the rear of the Quattro concept... Oh my goodness :eek:

The exterior of the new Bmw 1 series has really grown on me other the past couple of months, and now I think I even like it. :o

Mind games! :eek:
 
The Citroen van thing is the most hideous.

I quite liked the Brabus, the Aston Martin cygnet is a joke. :(

Also the rear lights on the 120d look as if they've been taken from a VW polo.
 
I went on Monday, was really impressed with the new Beetle, and Merc's stand was phenomenal!

Can't believe the black 118d on BMW's stand was €45k!!!!

Mercedes had a hall all to themselves. Gigantic!
That BMW was fully loaded though. Tick every option and all German cars get eye-wateringly expensive

Literally the sublime to the ridiculous.
Oh, and lol at VW..

Erm..
I'd never heard of the VW Up! before, but the Black Up! is by far the best name for a car ever :D
 
Some good snaps there, you got lots of interesting stuff but I am worried, really worried, I think the 6 series looks nice. :(

The 6 Series looks fantastic, both in coupe and convertible form.
The interior on the Individual model is just lush.

I like the new six series but I wish you hadn't posted the new M5 pictures as it's got me twitching again. :D
