F Type R – RevdCars.com

The 2014 edition of the Los Angeles Auto Show came upon us yet again and, for the first time in quite a while, we decided to take a look at what the OE world had to offer. We came away a bit underwhelmed. There was nothing revolutionary. Merely evolutionary at best. Nothing blew us away, really. All signs point to yet another year of dull vehicles. Regardless, we thought these following vehicles have some ability to quicken the pulse. Even if just a little bit.

(Incidentally, all photos were taken with a Samsung Galaxy Note 4. Image quality is pretty awesome, especially considering it’s just a smartphone)

The front end of the revised Mustang looks awfully familiar. Gotta say it shares design DNA with the Fusion. And several Aston Martins. And the Nissan GT-R. And the Dodge SRT Hellcat. And the Mazda 6.

This was one of only two vehicles on display within the Mitsubishi booth - are we close to seeing this OE leaving the US market? — This was one of only two vehicles on display within the Mitsubishi booth – are we close to seeing this OE leaving the US market?

Looks nice and all but is it worth $64,000? For a Dodge?

Some sort of hybrid / electric car based on the Delta Wing racing car - you won't see us driving this thing — Some sort of hybrid / electric car based on the Delta Wing racing car – you won’t see us driving this thing

Yet another "Nismo" version of the Z - perhaps they should add some power to the damned thing instead of prettying it up all the time — Yet another “Nismo” version of the Z – perhaps they should add some power to the damned thing instead of prettying it up all the time

Can't get enough of the mighty Porsche 918 — Can’t get enough of the mighty Porsche 918

Porsche made a lot of noise over the "new" 911 GTS - frankly, it looks the same to us — Porsche made a lot of noise over the “new” 911 GTS – frankly, it looks the same to us

An offering from Morgan - always a little "different" — An offering from Morgan – always a little “different”

This looks very worthy of a RevdCars evaluation

Look at the rear "spoiler" of the new Vette convertible - it's a giant Gurney flap — Look at the rear “spoiler” of the new Vette convertible – it’s a giant Gurney flap

Wow... Lexus outdid themselves with this ugly beast - think they should start calling themselves Lesux instead — Wow… Lexus outdid themselves with this ugly beast

Something straight outta Tron in the Toyota booth

Who needs the Lexus LF-A when you have the Toyota FT-1? We sincerely hope this is the foundation for the new Supra
