I don't know what I was thinking or typing. I should have said Chicago. Is it going to be there?

The mustang side was bad as well. Only one 2013 boss and a 2012 boss. No Shelby.

No zl1 or zr1.

No gtr.

Porsche had a good showing but its all roped off.

Dodge had all their heavy hitters out. Charger srt8 and jeep Cherokee srt8 looked pretty damn good.

Caddy had an all blacked out ctsv that looked stunning.

Overall dissappointed.

There was a ZR1

what day did you go? On saturday they had an orange one little kids were literally crawling all over

I have tried to upload photos of one repeatedly to no avail

same thing at portland auto show. I wanted to see a ZL1 in person so bad.

GM needs to lay of the F'ing stickers. I know somewhere someone loved their tranformer edition but the stickers were killing me. If I could read the autobot writing maybe it would be cool ha ha. Along with the centenial ZR1 with with black vinyl sticker stripes over the exposed carbon roof.

I am not sure what Chevy's marketing thought about the ZL1 really is. They did not bring a ZL1 to a lot of the shows in the south, Miami, Houston and LA for example. These markets have millions and millions of people. But they did have them at shows in the north, NY, Detroit, Chicago, Oshawa and this past weekend in Philly. I am sure that their marketing people are far more informed than I am, but I really do not understand why they would not promote a car like the ZL1 in half of the country. Unless they figure the internet would cover areas that they not bother bringing a ZL1 to.

You need to make GM know that the show quality has dropped and they are making mistakes. I know that in the past, they would make sure that Texas has Camaro's that matter. They are one of if not the largest Camaro markets in the country. I know I would rather see them here in the Northeast but that's because I am selfish.

The people setting up the shows lack the experience that was gained over the years and I am hearing more and more comments about the shows not living up to expectations. Write a letter to GM and tell them whatever changed isn't working.

When the changes were being made I wrote several to warn them what a loss it would be, but now the facts are in but you have to make them known.

Tim Lane's car. When were there it was evident someone opened the passenger door. The nerve of show go'ers.

Sounds like Houston got the same lot of cars that were in St. Louis this past weekend.

There were some sweet Caddy V's to look at though. I was at least hoping to see an Ashen Grat car in person (even if it wasn't on a Camaro), but no one working the show in Chevy's booth had any idea what I was talking about. I then told a Product Specialist why I wanted to see one, and she couldn't believe that I order a car that expensive without seeing the color. She went on to tell me that she saw some really nice ZL1s (coupe and vert) at the Detroit Auto Show when she was working that booth, (I told her those were AGM since she didn't know) and I was like

Yeah that little sign on the floor tells what the car is and the very clearly says don't touch and right after I took this picture some lady pushed her kid under the rope and had him lean on it for a picture. I pointed out the sign and she to keep my nose outta it cause it wasn't my car
