Post your pics/opinions here!

Took the family to the show last night.

This is about the same size as last year....maybe even a little bigger. I don't think we noticed BMW, Mercedes, Land Rover, or Jaguar there at the show.

Chevrolet, GMC, and Cadillac were there...I can't recall if we saw a Buick display. Ford and Lincoln were there, Toyota, Honda, Subaru, Acura, Lexus and Infiniti showed up. Kia and Hyundai showed up. Chrysler, Ram, Fiat and Dodge were there as well.

A few manufacturers are still missing, but some came back.

Batmobile at the entrance was pretty cool....



The Ford booth is front and center, so we spent some time there.




Kids loved the simulator game, my buddy at Ford told me this rig cost more than an actual Bronco



The 2025 Maverick was there and there are a lot of interior improvements, I really liked how the inside felt and looked.




Ford came correct with a manual Mustang GT


Trying to convince Mrs 1ags that we need a AWD Transit....



The 2025 Expedition was on display, but they didn't have it open inside. My buddy from Ford Corporate was there, so he actually let us take a peek inside....

its still polarizing to me, but not as bad in person





Notice the headlights are now controlled by the Touchscreen like the new Colorado...



The 2025 Navigator was actually unlocked....and cost more than my first house....


Vw had a nice booth, and a manual GTI to boot....

ID Buzz was pretty cool....


Electric Escalade


Kind of neat to see the Quartermaster is here too


HPD had a Hellcat on display


As we were going to the restrooms, a Jeep employee invited us to ride on the Jeep Experience trail, so we did...
Was pretty neat, except for my kid asking me in front of the Jeep driver "dont you think our Bronco is much better than this?" and "didn't you say Jeep Pentastar is really unreliable?"




This caught my eye....usually the show has the most loaded models but Toyota came with an entry level Camry...at an honest 30K sticker price...




I commented about trunk space, and next thing, this happened...


Chevrolet had this interesting thing...





And we spotted this on the way out....

Chevy Bright Drop van is currently being piloted by WalMart. I wasn't aware (if) they're available for consumer purchase yet.

We spent more time with the boats than the cars!

That awesome man, thanks for the pics. I'm going to try to convince the wife to check it out as I've always been curious how it is

We were supposed to go today, but three of us had the flu. Will try to make it before it ends.

Went yesterday. Was better than last year.

Reignited my interest in the 2 Door Bronco.

Took my dad today. I wanted to look at boats, my dad spent along time looking at the Toyotas, I think we both preferred the Honda options.

Definitely better than last year or the prior year.

I always loved the Oiler blue HPD used to roll with on their cruisers.

That green maverick looks nice. My wife has a very strong itch to replace her escape with one.

Good to hear. I was concerned by your choice of watch case and ring.

Well I finally went today. Pretty good crowd. I was glad to see all the Ram/Dodge vehicles back again. Got to check out an RHO in person. GMC was back with a good showing after a pretty sad one last time. I didn't spend any time at the Toyota area, but they were there in force. Lots of cool, overpriced exotics to drool over. NASA had a big area that we skipped. I don't recall seeing Porsche there.

Were they Jeep guys cleaning up all the oil leaks or their cute little course?

Yeah. Thursday night is skimpy always. Also my favorite night to go because it's not crowded.
