Astro Publication 22/01/2016 | 09:19 MYT

Time flies, it feels like just yesterday we celebrated the Christmas and the New Year and now we’re all headed straight into preparing for the upcoming Chinese New Year. Excuse me while I search for my ear plugs but meanwhile let’s take a look at five eye-candies from the NAIAS.
No.1
Acura Precision concept
Just last year Acura launched the long awaited Acura NSX, now they are directing your attention to this sedan. Just imagine the NSX’s face but with two extra doors. It seems the designers in Honda’s California design studio is researching to give their future cars the same face as the NSX. And they’ve succeeded.

No.2
BMW M2

This car’s launch was massively hyped up in BMW’s Periscope account and it has been eluding many for a while. Now there it stood in all its glory at NAIAS glinting at everybody as if knowing that they’ve seen its high performance debut into the world. Forget about the 2 Series AT or the 2 Series GT, this is what the 2 Series is all about in the first place!

No.3
Infiniti Q60

Infiniti has definitely found the winning designing team! Starting from the Q50 they’ve been creating sexy squinty eye beasts that would guarantee a few heads turned. Now they’ve jumped into the sports coupe segment with this equally sexy Q60!

No.4
Lexus LC500

It was a close call between the Q60 and this beautiful LC500. This concept embodies the future with the Lexus LFA as inspiration. But the LC 500 is not limited to 500 units like the LFA so there is no need to scramble to buy the car!

No.5
Audi H Tron

The concept SUV that Audi has been talking about for a while now finally makes its appearance in the metal. The H Tron marks the first step to Audi’s CO2-neutral mobility vision with the concept’s highly efficient fuel cell that produces 150bhp and Quattro system.
