With the Australian International Motorshow gearing up, the Paris Motorshow (which began on the 30 September), probably gives us the best indication of the sorts of things we'll be seeing in Sydney.

One of the big cars to hit Sydney, following it's debut in Paris, is the Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione. As with most of the Alfa's I'm not all that excited about the nose, but other than that, looks like an interesting car.

I've been checking out a few car blogs, and this one came up, B.G. Lindemann Jr. Exotic Cars. Notice anything familiar? Yup, it's the Lindemann name again, it keeps popping up everywhere. Anyway, the car blog there had quite a bit of info about the Paris motorshow, but what really caught my eye was the link from that site to this story about Tom Cruise and his struggle to open his exotic car door at the opening of MI3. You can watch the video here. In case your wondering the car in the video?is a Bugatti Veyron, and at $1,440,800 US, is probably out of reach for most car owners.
