Default For those thinking of going to the NE Auto Show...

I went last night on the 2 for 1 deal in the Boston Globe. PS that coupon was hard to find so I just handed the teller the whole paper.

Anyways, I feel that the show gets progressively worse from year to year.

The only cars of interest that might be worth seeing were-

Audi R8
Audi B8 A4
Audi Q5
Nissan 370Z
Nissan GTR
Pontiac GXP G8
Chevy Corvette ZR1
Aston Martin DBS
Ferrari Scaglietti 599 GTB
Ferrari F430
Cadillac CTSV
MB GLK

If you dont have any interest in seeing those cars in person, dont make the trip :-) Overall Im continually disappointed by Porsche's booth year over year. The first year I went they had new models that havent even hit the showroom floors yet. This year they had a Turbo in possibly the ugliest color i have ever seen on a P car. Any car from any manufacturer that was about $65K+ you couldnt sit in as it was locked.

Hope this helps.

Default That sucks, but it's worth it to me just to see the ZR1 and 370Z. Unfortunately, we're just not

home to one of the big deal auto shows with lots of media coverage (like NY or Detroit), so it's never going to be a show of that caliber. Still fun tho imho.

Default I have some pictures I will post but pretty cool. It takes alot of lines from the new Maxima

There may have been a little too many angular lines to the front like one of those japanese body kits but all in all not too bad.
