Few quick pics from Japan...
Flew in a couple of days ago for vacation/work and I'll still be here for the rest of the week. Already went back to the Honda Showroom (just reopened from their remodel) and also hit up the Nissan Showroom. Toyota/Lexus Showroom is later today and I have an event I'm going to at Twin Ring Motegi later this week. Still have to meet up with family & friends in Kyota, Nagoya (Toyota History Museum), and a few other places. Also going to meet up with some guys who work for Honda Japan in the development dept (new & concept cars) and do some shop talk. I'll post more pics later after I go through them (and post them up in a couple of days. Just need to sort through them while I kill time on the bullet train. Here are just a few quick pics that I took from my mem card so far from the past couple of days.
View from my room (Tokyo tower in the back ground)
Honda Showroom @ Aoyoma (more pics later after I sort through them)
Nissan Showroom @ Ginza
Few pics of downtown Ginza district on a Sunday afternoon
Went to the Sony building and got to play Gran Turismo HD on the new PS3. Pretty cool, not too much different from GT4 but much better graphics and the 1080p really makes a huge difference on a 50" plasma. Also tried out the new Ridge Racer 7 game. Not as good as GTHD but still cool. The tennis game they had on another PS3 unit had some killer graphics.
Couldn't take pics of the PS3 inside the building but I took one of the demo outside
PS3 brochure (sold out in Japan everywhere on Saturday morning)
Some misc brochures that the girls gave me at the showrooms. Honda Integra (RSX) is no longer being made after 2006 so they didn't have anymore Mugen brochures for that. I'll grab some Mugen Fit brochures when I go back later this week since they told me to come back when they are showing some older Civics on display and doing a presentation. The Nissan girls gave me the new Skyline brochure that isn't supposed to be available to the public until next week but they were cool to give me some anyways.
