The 2009 Indianapolis Auto Show Part 1

Thanks for choosing Hold The Brakes as your source for total coverage of the 2009 Indianapolis Auto Show! We will be at the auto show for several days, including today and other unmarked dates, so stay tuned because we will be adding multiple posts with lots of pictures and informative material. Today was the opening day for the auto show and what an exciting day it was! First up is Dodge with their new concept called the Dodge Demon. The all new 2010 Dodge Demon concept is Dodge's entry of competing with Pontiac Solstice and the Mazda MX-5. In my opinion, I think this is a great car to run with. At first it kind of looked like a toned down viper. Not so many curves, and a more subtle look.










After Dodge, we went over to see what Ford had to offer and found some interesting vehicles including the new 2010 Mustang. The 2010 Ford Mustang convertible was the main hit among the Ford area. Many people enjoy the new front end, while others enjoyed the all new turn signals found on the rear of the vehicle. If you haven't heard of the new turn signals, they use the entire tail light and make a sort of "wave" with the 3 individual lights depending on which direction you're going. The gauge cluster also had a unique finish in that the gauges were like the gauges found in the old Mustangs. Watch the video below to see the gauge cluster and the turn signal in action (this is not from the Indy Auto Show):

I also saw the 2010 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor which was featured at the SEMA Show back in early November. You couldn't get inside so I could only get a picture of the outside:



















I also saw the new Camaro that was tricked out for Dale Earnhardt Jr. which was also at SEMA!










Okay so now onto my favorite part of the auto show, the all new Nissan 370z and GTR! I was very surprised to see these two beauties but they were there. I wish they would have let us into the GTR but oh well; they did have the door open on the 370z but the interior looked just like the new interior they are putting in all the new Nissan and Infiniti vehicles. Still though both were very nice.





















I hope you enjoyed this first part of the 2009 Indianapolis Auto Show check back soon for Part 2 where I will be posting the rest of the pictures from day 1!
