Just wondering if anyone from here will be attending the show.  I usually make it out every year to check out what's new and just read in the Journal that Ferrari and Masserati will be displaying vehicles this year!! sweet!

Along with that there is going to be the new NSX and the Civic SiR hatchback. The NSX will be orange with orange interior. Don't know about the Civic though. Just wanna see how it feels to sit in it and try the strange shifter. <!--emo&:D--><img src="http://asianet.ca/images/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo-->

If they even let you near it...

I might actually skip this year because it just doesn't seem worth it to go and see stuff you can spend a Saturday afternoon looking at for free...

Honda has been pretty cool with letting people into their new cars.  I remember last year they were letting people sit in the S2K's, While Chrysler had it PT Cruiser up stilts.  Hmmm the S2K is only worth what, 2x more than the ugiluck PT?

JDMJOSH
There was only 1 S2K at last years show and you couldn't go near it.  Your thinking about 2 years ago.  I thought it was funny though that Acura locked the doors on a $30K Type R and then I could go over to Mercedes and sit in a $60K Benz

BlueTurboEGG
Yup. Last year in Toronto they Nissan was hawking a rebadged Sentra as a Spec V, of course they locked the doors.

My friend noticed all the little details though, no silver 6 spd shifter, funky orange seats, wierdo colored gauges.

Bah, those shows are getting pointless, I had to laugh when I heard the most recent advert. "Totally new"

CYA
funny nobody has mentioned the ferrari booth yet.  don't know what they intend to show there but ferrari has a 720 square foot space.

SWEET!

Man there's gonna be a record amount of people at this car show.

What about Porshes and Bimmers?

I think Acura locked up their Type R because too many punks will ravage the car.  I dont recall being able to sit in the S2K either.

I am thinking about going.... anyone wanna meet up there?

Marximus
I will be there on Saturday night, around 6-8 pm.

The motor show was okay.... nothing too spectacular, but a good waste of a couple hours. Deiter seemed to be doing very well at Matrix... hope he continues with the luck.  <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://asianet.ca/images/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

Yeah it was pretty cool. Altho the FX setup was super cheezey! haha

BlueTurboEGG
Hmm, not every day you see a Maserati, serial #001, first production. Sweet.

Even comes with it's own European salesman.

Those trashy dancers in the FX booth were horrible, I felt filthy just after 5 seconds of observing their routine. <bleah>

I promptly ran off to wretch my guts out.

About the booth, well... let's just say it's got it's finger on the pulse of one thing: Rice.
