I thought so when we went a couple of years ago. They even had some bikes on display. We might wander down there this weekend with the boys.

I went free last year, its like a big car lot with all the makes...I thought it was pretty lame but I am used to the Detroit Auto Show.

I was there to help a Volvo rep (friend) drive the Volvos off the floor at the end back to the dealer. I really liked the S80, lots of power, the S30 was okay but not my style of car. At least I got in free, hassle free test drives and had lunch FREE.

Otherwise I say skip it...

I'm going on Sunday...If you're into cars and like looking at new cars, it's a great way to see them all in one place. I go almost every year, but I'm a bit of a car guy.

I plan on going, hopefully it's cool.

the one in Philly used to be pretty solid...we'll see if i feel like driving down there

This is all the bigger the Denver one is...LOL Quit small, no special displays not many concepts...like I said its a car lot, with salesman handing out their business cards. It just does not seem professional, more of the come in next week and buy a vehicle. Oh and I am a big car guy. But when its to see normal vehicles I can see on the lot, I go to a lot, maybe even do a test drive *shrug* I guess if you have not seen Lamborghini's in person, even then I say go to the dealer on Arapahoe and you probably could sit in one (they seemed friendly).

I'm not trying to poo poo it, but if your expecting Detroit size with the glamour, the hot car girls, and concepts...no this is not it.

[salsashark]

yeah... I wasn't terribly impressed when I went.

If I was new car shopping, this would be nice because you could kick tires without dealing with sales people, but other then that... not worth it.

Detroit, LA, or SEMA would be THE ones to go to.

I agree, I've gone a couple times, but unless you're looking to purchase a new ride and want to see the new models, it's pretty boring.

Now I'd love to go to a similar event for motorcycles, I could look at bikes all day long.
