I tried my best to take detailed pics with a "so-so" Olympus point and shoot my girlfriend had. Very crowded Saturday afternoon so it was quite hard to get good shots and not have 50 people get in the way at the same time

. Long lines to get a seat in the car too

.

I Gotta say though, it did look quite nice in person. It really does look much better in person than the photos released online. I Absolutely hated how the back look in the pictures but it did look classy in person.

The new 3 spoke steering wheel didn't bother me much other than the fact that it was upside down. Couldnt see the gauges though because they weren't lit. The R3 Recaro seats hold your upper torso in somewhat tightly. I'm 5'9" and ~ 155 lbs so it'd imagine that anyone over 6'0" and 200 lbs might have some trouble with the Recaros. The bolsters started to peal also.

I'm going to throw in the Speedsource demo car and the Furai pics too.
