#12 of 26 road hog by steve_ HOST

"No matter what boldly conceived concept vehicles or irresistible new cars and trucks are displayed at the 2013 North American International Auto Show, the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette rules over them."

#14 of 26 It's like the circus by steve_ HOST

"But for all the gleaming metal, most models won't be new to fans. Corvette lovers have been salivating over drawings posted on the Web. Spy cameras snapped an Acura MDX last fall, months before its official debut in Detroit. Mercedes has already released photos of its E-Class coupe and convertible.
 
But even with all those spoilers, visitors keep flocking to Detroit and other auto shows. They want to touch the cars, check out the trunk space or just hop in."
 
Why attend car shows when photos are a swipe away? (adn.com)

I am. 3 days baby. My son even stayed home an extra day (on college break) so he can go on Saturday too. he is a senior, and is now fixated on getting a car when he graduates. I am using that as the carrot (if not the stick) for getting him to spend time on the job search now!

#17 of 26 speaking of the Furia Concept by steve_ HOST

Jan 18, 2013 (1:26 pm)

Well, imagine we were talking about the tease of the Toyota concept in Detroit.
 
A reporter is looking for a subcompact car owner or shopper to weigh in on what kind of impact a sleeker design, like the "Furia" concept released in Detroit, would have on their purchase decision. If you own or are looking for a subcompact car, and think a sleeker design would impact which car you buy, please send your daytime contact info to predmunds.com no later than Monday, January 21, 2013 at 4 p.m. PT/7 p.m. ET.

just got back from the philly show. Good time. lots of people, but not overly crowded, and rarely had to wait long to get into any car. Saw the new stuff that I had not seen in the flesh before. And my wife has a lot of new bags to use at the supermarket (the companies have really stepped up on the quality of the give away fabric bags).
 
legs are tired from the walking (we also took the train in ans walked around town a bit). But did get to go for cheesteaks and beer at Oscars on Sansom. Have not been there in ages, but it has not changed a bit. Great steak and fantastic onion rings. In case anyone goes in and gets hungry!

We are headed down on Monday. We are leaving the Hershey area around 8am and stopping at Nifty Fifty's in Ridley for breakfast. After spending the day at the show we are then going to hit up DiCostanza's for hoagies before heading back.

Courtesy of Chevy while supplies last - have to pick them up at dealers in the Chicagoland area after getting a certificate online. They want your life story though.
