Seattle Auto Show: Tailpipe Edition

I spent Saturday morning tooling around the 2012 Seattle Auto Show with my son checking out the latest models from the major auto makers. As usual, I was more interested in some of the less-expensive small models than the exotic sports cars and luxury brands. Rather than do a broad recap of the show I'm going to do a series of posts that focus on trends or details that I found interesting.

This edition looks at some of the tailpipe and exhaust designs that I saw on the show floor. Also see my look at the wheels and rims. 

Two, four, six, eight, we really appreciate fancy tailpipes.
