I went a few years ago. With the exception of a few cool concepts and stuff it was basically like visiting 9 auto dealerships in a few hours.

Nothing wrong with that if you like visiting dealerships and lookin' at cars.

KSTP showed a half hour special on the Auto Show. They showed a video by Honda which featured a Fiji Blue Si Coupe. Ringpop would have been ecstatic.

FGMN, thanks for the great pictures. Gotta love all the cars you took pics of. Something came up last Saturday, so I and VQ Power will be going this Saturday instead.

Here are some pics I took at the autoshow. Taking pictures and looking after a 1 1/2 year old sucks. I loved the S5 and the GT-R.

I went last Saturday. Lamesville.

I'm going again with the MNAudi club on Sunday. We're meeting around noon at The Local for some beers before going to the most disappointing scene of the year.

Come meet us there if you wish.
