NE International Auto Show Pics

Went to the auto show on Thursday at the Boston Convention Center. Here are some pics. The show was alright this year, wasn't as good as the previous years.

I went Thursday as well - definitely not as good as the last few years. Fewer concepts and fewer makes (no Porsche), and not many performance cars (no M's, 370z, etc). Got to see A. Hernandez though - go Pats!

similarly disappointed here too...nice M6, really would have loved to see a LRP M3 or an M5. The new 328 touring was nice though.

That ZR1 was also similarly disappointing and cheap.

Best car setup was cadillacs. Loved the 3 cts-vs

Sorry, but the Boston show has always sucked. It just sucks a little less now that it's in the model year and at the Convention Center as opposed to in November and in that decrepit Expo center.

The show will never compete with the good shows where debuts are made.

For my wife and I, we thought it was worth it since we are looking to trade up her car. It was nice to check out all the cars in one place without getting harassed by a sales rep. But...if you were going to see "cool" cars, I can see why you were disappointed.

For that purpose it's worth the trip, definitely.
