Thought the same thing. I was surprised that they had the Camaro concept and not the production version out. The ZR1 Corvette was awesome! I really like that new Dodge Challenger in person but that interior is so.....blah.

The Porsche section was funny, all of the Porsche dudes were freaking out over kids touching the cars when I was there


I thought the bike section was weak, just a bunch of Ducatis with a few BMW bikes there.

The GM test drive was great, I drove a a G8 GT and a Hummer H3T.

i agree, but seriously Chrysler didnt even need to be there or Saturn or Mercury for that matter,i see a grand marquises like every day. just a waste of space. The ralliart Lancer seems like its going to be hit for Mitsubishi. Even the Caliber SRT-4 is a great bang for the buck. The new BMW X6 is flat out badass imo, Lincoln had some crazy looking concepts. I have to say the GT-R is awesome in person,not like it was my 1st time seeing it in person tho. I also like the New Toyota Venza, after the pics and seeing it in person it really is unique and should do very well for Toyota. The Saab booth was pretty cool with their big ass wall photo of the heritage of Saab Turbo's.

I was dissapointed that you couldnt sit in the R8 or ZR1, I can see why they would lock em with some of the people I seen there tho. The ZR1 looks so much more impressive in person and compared to the Z06 next to it you really see what makes it stand out so much, it sits so low .

The bike section sucked they need to organize something next year. There was quite a crowd there but no japanese manufactures taking advantage of it.

And props to the guy who gave me and my buddy free tickets when we were walking in. Overall it wasnt exactly what I was expecting but Id deffiently go next year.

holy shit fuck foriegners!
They have no fucking manners.
I was waiting for this old dude to get out of one of the Saabs and so he stated opening the door and climbing out I'm right next to him,
by the time hes out of the way i have my hand on the door and im about to open it up more so i can get in.
that some foriegner puts his hand on the door too.
he pretty much lunges inside before i can say anything and shuts the door.
the window was open and i said excuse me pissed off, in return he says:
"oh may i go before you, thanks"
i said, dude i was here before you, you just shoved me aside,
he didnt say anything,
so i bent down closer to his face and said
in A-M-E-R-I-C-A we fucking wait our turn and i was too pissed off to wait so i just walked away

that was my bitching

all in all though it was pretty good, $10 for parking is a lil much though
