Thumbs down Vancouver Auto Show

I'm I the only one who thinks that the Vancouver Auto show sucked big time? Few exotics and the Porsche stand was the poorest I have ever seen. I have been to a few Auto shows in the US and Europe and this was my first one in Vancouver, I thought it was very poor but it might just be the norm?

Canadian's get paid 30% less and have to pay 15% more then the USA.
Canadian Car shows suck. Were about economy cars not exotics.

I have done my LAST TO show also. I went to Detroit and the Porsche display alone was worth it over the Toronto one.

IIRC ... the US shows are put on by the Manufacturers and the Toronto Show is put on by the TADA (Toronto Automotive Dealers Association).

Who has the bucks to put up displays?

I went to the Toronto International show not this feb but last year and it wasn't bad i guess. I mean, it was no SEMA or Tokyo Auto Saloon by any strech of the imagination, but porsche has a nice display with all the cars, free posters and a Fayence Carrera GT.
