Exposition des autos

Today we went to the car show in Paris. This was one of those big ones where they unveil new concept cars for the future years. There were some really cool cars. Thomas, of course, was in heaven.

First stop, BMW. This car is Awesome! Looks just like something straight out of "I Robot"


I have always loved Jaguars, ever since I can remember. I can still remember the first time I ever saw one. I fell in love instantly. I keep telling Doug that when kids are out of the house and college paid for, then I'm getting one. (either that or an Audi). The only thing missing is the cute little Jaguar sticking out the front of the car. Oh well. Still a great car.



Jaguar

100% Electric

Appropriate for France (even thought it's not French)

Rolls Royce


Citroen

In case you wanted to buy your two year old a Porsche.

Good 'old American Corvette

Renault Formula 1 race car

This car is by Orange, which is an phone company here in France. (my purple phone is Orange)

Toyota


Lamborghini

Now on to some old fashioned cars.

A car for one.


Mercedes Gulwing

Thomas really liked this one.

Whenever I see cars with wood paneling I think of the 'Family Truckster'

This electric van was introduced in 1969.


It's too bad we didn't see any Mustangs. But it was a great outing anyway. Matt was disappointed and claimed that he hated cars and it was boring. But it got better once he got to try out a few video games. Here is Matt playing an XBox 360 Kinect. No controllers at all. Cool huh? But not cool enough to spend more money on a new system.
