Brilliant, thanks so much for posting these!

Two questions:

What was your highlight and did the 4C look good in the flesh? It looks a bit 'meh' (although I've learnt not to trust my first instincts)

It was good to see the new hypercars, supercars don't do it for me anymore if you have seen some of my posts.

The Alfa is very nice tbh. Friend has option to buy one so was asking about colours and the white one wins

Nope the Alfa not doing it for me.  Looks too much like one of yesteryear's DIY kit car patterns; and that bonnet line - spew.
RS6 - those pics have helped me discount that from my next choice of car, so thanks :-) 
GT3 is my choice.  I really like the softened lines. 
Maserati - nice updated front end. 
Aston - stop showing me pictures of AMs and please ask the dealership on Water Lane up the road to put big shutters up every time I drive past!

Agree about the 4C. After all the hype, it's just not doing it for me. Looks far too contrived.

I just can't warm to Porsche cars.  The 911 GT3 just doesn't look that special.  I don't care if it could knock spots of than AM, I would take the AM any day of the week.

The Porsche has to be an RS to be more special although technically the base GT 3 will be assume.

Do like Astons but very basic

I love the new Jag
