00:00 Hey everybody, I'm Johnny Lieberman and I'm here at the 2015 Frankfurt Auto Show.
00:05 What's the point of an auto show?
00:06 It's to get you excited about cars.
00:08 I forgot what I was going to say.
00:12 It's to get you excited about cars and therefore the best car in the show is going to get you
00:16 the most excited.
00:17 Now we have a lot of opinions about what is the best in the show.
00:20 My best in the show?
00:22 This sucker.
00:23 This is the Mercedes IAA concept.
00:26 That stands for Intelligent Aerodynamic Automobile.
00:28 What does that mean?
00:29 It changes shape.
00:30 This thing actually changes.
00:31 It has an 8-piece rear nacelle that kind of comes out of the back at speed to lower the
00:37 drag coefficient.
00:38 It's got spats.
00:39 The wheels actually puff out and they don't let any negative air into the wheel wells
00:44 when the car's at speed.
00:45 The front splitter tucks away so it's more efficient.
00:48 It's just radical.
00:49 Will it ever be built?
00:51 Probably not.
00:52 None of this would, I don't even know how you'd do it.
00:53 But that's the point of an auto show, right?
00:55 It's to build these fantasy objects.
00:57 And that's why this one is my best in show.
01:00 This is Zach Gale with Motor Trend and I'm here at the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show with
01:04 the Mercedes S-Class Cabriolet, my pick for best in show.
01:09 The car looks fantastic.
01:10 It offers Swarovski crystals in the headlights.
01:13 And Mercedes actually claims it's the quietest convertible in the world with the Tafa.
01:18 And considering Mercedes already has three convertibles in production with another two
01:23 on the way, I just love that Mercedes finds a business case for a sixth convertible where
01:28 others are still trying to justify one.
01:31 Eric Ayupona here at the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show and my pick for best in show is this
01:36 thing right here, the Lamborghini Huracan Spyder.
01:40 So obviously this brings me back to our long-term Huracan and the only complaint I had about
01:44 that car, aside from there being no manual transmission, is you felt a little bit claustrophobic
01:49 inside sometimes.
01:51 So this car solves that problem in a cinch.
01:53 Scott Evans here at the Frankfurt Motor Show with my best in show and I suspect a lot of
01:57 other people's best in show as well, the Porsche Mission E Concept.
02:02 You can say a lot of things about this car.
02:03 You can say that it's beautiful and that's absolutely correct.
02:05 You can say that it's very impressive because it has a ton of power and a great EV range
02:09 and it charges really fast and that's all true too.
02:12 I also like to call it an atonement for the Panamera.
02:15 Porsche is showing us now that they really can do a beautiful, sexy four-door car and
02:21 we really hope that this thing is a harbinger of things to come.
