I don't think there's a thread on this yet, but did anyone else go to this year's LA Autoshow? I was there on Saturday. I'll get some pics up later tonight.

Yup, albeit on a press day. Ugly mood in there. People are worried.

I think the cheap plastic on the Mustang is what ruined it most for me. Looked so much better in pictures when you couldn't see it.

I've been really curious about what that mid-engine/AWD Gallardo transaxle looks like. Did you get a pic of that?

In the event he didn't get a picture of it, the transaxle sits behind the engine with the outputs for the rear wheels fairly close to the engine block. A shaft runs up the side of the engine to the front to be coupled with a driveshaft to send power to the front wheels. Its all surprisingly compact.

That engine is sexy. Interesting that they are using oil filter element cartridges...

The only other picture I have of it:
About the Mustang. I agree about the plastic non-body color stuff. I think with a subtle bodykit and hood scoop it would look a lot better.

Even a real grille that isn't half blocked-off would make me happy.
