I actually rather like Detroit. Some cool neighborhoods.
And some sketch. But I live in la we have sketch that's ocean adjacent.

 

Porsche cancelled Detroit awhile ago.
Said they are doubling up on Chicago.

 

New 5 series looks like a nice 991 complement to me. Boring is not always about the car.

 

heading to Detroit in 10 days, I go every year and it is really a fun show.

 

+1 for Buddy's -- and gluten free options to boot!

 

Porsche will be at the Pennsylvania Auto Show in Harrisburg this year.

 

I never realized there was a PA auto show. Always just went to Philly,. how long has this been in existence?

 

Years?


My latest issue of Motor Trend has two complementary tickets attached.

 

haha... good to know.. I dont read motor trend either. Although its almost worth the $5 subscription to get free tickets.

 

I like the detroit show. My wife and I used to fly up for it, but haven't been able to since 2010.

 

reminds me, I went to the Paris auto show in I think, '05. The C6 corvette was brand new at the time, but it might have been '04. Anyways, its about 4 times as large as Detroit, even with a giant hall of used cars. I spent 8 hours there. At the time, I was really interested in getting a Lotus, and they were the only manufacturer not there!

 

The Pixar stand is probably related to the new "Cars" movie coming out.

 

Thanks for the heads up. Makes perfect sense now.

 

Porsche is at the more exclusive show across the street -

"The North American International Auto Show is losing some luster as a can’t-miss destination for luxury car companies, with many now giving wealthy buyers their only glimpses of the priciest models at another associated event in the shadow of this city’s downtown convention center.

The Gallery, an official auto show event held Saturday evening, attracted 500 people for cocktails, dinner, and expensive cars at the MGM Grand Detroit casino, complete with food from Wolfgang Puck. A car must carry a minimum $100,000 price tag for a company to hawk it."

“Experience over the past few years has shown that our new products attract very great interest at the shows in Los Angeles and New York,” said a spokeswoman for Porsche, among the brands showing vehicles at the casino event. “As a consequence, we shall be concentrating on our presence at these shows in the future.”

 

FWIW...maybe they skipped because the VW execs thought they might get arrested like
the fellow in Miami last month.
