The lone Ferrari was in the back where all the small vendors were....

...I believe there was a 430 that was one of the fleet availabe to be "rented" for a day (this was a business).

I thought the auto show was so-so...

Went for the preview event and was underwhelmed. Chicago needs to receive international status to get manufacturers involvement similar to Detroit. I understand a plan is currently being implemented to rotate the international show around the country between Detroit, Chicago and New York.

Most of the concept vehicles at NAIAS are a no-show...

The exhibit costs at Detroit were rumored at over $200 MM this year. Looking around Chicago, and I think that you will agree, that Chicago exhibitor costs are much lower. There were fewer members of the press in Chicago this year than in recent years as very few model introductions occurred.
