Video: 2007 L.A. Auto Show Production Cars

Starting with the Aston Martin V8 Vantage Roadster, we found that this was definitely the best in show out of all the cars we were able to see at the show. Obviously, Aston Martin is, all Aston Martins are very similar in design and style, and most people know them as a car that James Bond drives. The V8 Vantages, the low end of the range. Sold over a hundred thousand dollars, but that's a, believe or not a growing segment in the car market these days. It's just a gorgeous vehicle. The convertible kind of shows off some of the lines, even a little better than the coupe does. And we really thought this one was a stunner. Nissan brought an Altima Coupe. This is the first time Nissan's ever brought a two door, version of the Altima to market. So it was pretty exciting for them and it actually turned out to be a very attractive everyday car. This one affordable. They're gonna offer all the same powertrains that are in a sedan, and it should be a good competition for the Honda Accord, Coupe and the Toyota Solara. Chrysler brought out the convertible version of it's all new Sebring. The sedan was introduced last year and the convertible is new for this year. That kinda verbals, always a popular choice for Sebring. They sell very well. And you might see a lot in rental fleets as well because people want an affordable version of a convertible. Four-seat convertible. Audi brought two cars. The R8 super car that you see here is actually, shares a lot of pieces from Lamborghini, a corporate cousin of Audi. So you know it's gonna be fast. It's also gonna be expensive in the a hundred thousand dollars range again, but this is a German supercar so it'll exhibit some different traits, but very good looking car. We were really impressed by it in person. Audi also showed both versions of it's TT. It's more affordable coupe in the 40,000 range, not a a hundred thousand dollar range. So it's convertible here and there's also a coupe shown a little bit later, but this is a new, all new design we hadn't seen yet. Here in the U.S. it'll go on sale early next year, but really attractive, lots of cool sharp angles on it. And we think it'll do pretty well too.
