Detroit Auto Show: Ultimate Wallpaper Gallery

The 2007 Detroit Auto Show was probably not the best place to test our new photo gallery feature considering the significance of the event. What if they crashed? What if readers didn't like it? What if we suck at taking pictures? Well, the system was as stable as a rock and everyone seemed to greatly enjoy the thousands of high-resolution images we pumped out from the show floor, but we'll be the first to admit that great photography skills have never been a prerequisite for blogging before. However, amidst the standard 3/4 front shots and blurry pics of sheets being pulled off of concepts, there were definitely a few gems. We've assembled a gallery of what we think are our best shots from the 2007 Detroit show, some of which you've seen and some you haven't. They're all 1,280 pixels wide, so they should be suitable for use as desktop wallpaper on some very large screens. We decided not to put a watermark of our logo on any of these because, quite frankly, we hate it when sites do that. If one of your favorite vehicles didn't make the list of best pics, you can still find pics of it by browsing our complete coverage.
That said, we've realized that we need to step up our photography game, so rest assured that we're upgrading our cameras and going over what aperture and ISO mean again. By the time we arrive in the Windy City for the 2007 Chicago Auto Show in early February, we want every pic we snap to be a gem.
Enjoy the gallery!

Best shots? I don't consider grill mug shots great shots. It must be hard to work with a bunch of still standing cars though, so good effort, but don't quit your day job! I have to hand it to you, that Efijy shot is nice

wallpaper size for users still in the 90s. Are any of them even widescreen?

I love the shot of the C-XF emerging from the smoke. It's a lot like Jaguar's own attempt to leave retro design behind.

Maybe GM should consider doing a light duty p/u truck in a vintage theme with a nicely trimmed vintage inspired interior.There's SO MANY older guys who drive around my town with empty F-150's and silverado's just because they like em.That group would really love to tool around in something like that which could double as a Sunday driver too.

The Holden EFIJY is super cool!
Hell yeah! But it's only a concept car. To purchase it, you must be a villain in a Batman movie. Or Dick Tracey.
The Holden EFIJY's interior is classy. You know it's classy because the steering wheel is all British and stuff. And it's also classy because there are no cup-holders. Super-sized soda-holders are NOT classy. They're gassy. Stooooooooooooopid.
The Holden EFIJY is all class. In fact, the trunk is also a wine cellar.
And it's also where the butler sleeps.
The floor mats double as foot massagers and the safety belts are made of Cashmere.
NOTE: Cashmere will not save your life, but you've never experienced such luxurious whiplash.

The Holden EFIJY dream machine from down under! Wow! What a car is all I can say!
Except, don't describe parts of it as appearing British or you will get some angry kangaroos knocking on your door with evil intent in their eyes!!
