None of them were really that cool IMO. The Honda looks like a Toyota. The Colt is ghey. The Citroen is straight up strange. The Lexus is nasty(along with the Mazda and Nissan) and the X1 is pointless.
The Lambo and Orlando are the only two that are neat if you ask me.

Hard to picker a day-1 winner.
I have to say the Audi A1 is a very promising concept. Hope that makes production roughly unmolested.

I think the Orlando and S4 really stood out.

I am curious to see how well the concept Insight will carry over to production, if it is relatively unchanged I think it will sell well. I also would like to see more small car choices in the US like the Colt Ralliart but I am not holding my breath. My favorite concept is the Lamborghini and my least favorite debut by far was the X1 (what is BMW thinking) although I am sure it will sell since it has a propeller logo on the hood.

My favorites are the Citroen GT, Audi S4, Aston Martin One, VW GTi 5 door, new Miata, Jag XKR-S, and the Ferrari California, which I pick as the winner for day 1.
The rest are ugly, weird, or just plain unappealing.

That's a _fantastic_ picture of the Eiffel tower - did Autoblog take that or is that a stock pic?
I'd love to see a higher res version!
