Orlando Autoshow - No Nissan?
So we went to the Orlando Autoshow on Saturday. The show was small as usual - comparing to the ones I've been to in Chicago - but we noticed no Nissan? As well as no BMW (except Mini), Mercedes, Audi, etc.
Anyone know why Nissan wasn't there? I mean this event usually has all the daily d manufac's in it.
I missed test driving the V6 Camaro which they had properly set up in the back parking lots this time but I'll find a V8 to test drive. Stupid sunset and long line...
Also once again no CR-Z ... grumble. But it is supposed to hit the showroom floor August 2010.

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.

Yeah, it was weak. I was really pissed that Nissan wasn't there, because I really wanted to check out a 370Z. CRZ would have been nice, and an LFA would have been great. Also, Subie didn't even have a WRX, let alone an STI. WTF.

Lexus had the ISF which was nice. We saw one at OSW the night before but I missed it run.
The Crosstour was there by Honda but last year it wasn't. It's wierd that they do that. I was talking to one of the reps and was like fine, I'll just head to the Tokoyo Auto Salon to see the cars I want to see.
Nissan was there last year and even had a GTR. I didn't know they were struggling that they couldn't even make the show.
The Caddy Wagon was pretty nice but not one will be made in a manual. I guess that kind of makes sense but that still sucks. I guess Holden has a wagon that they would have brought over as a Pontiac but again ... nope. So one out of two then?
