Meh. I'm always very underwhelmed when I go. Not enough crazy concept cars or newly released cars. Paying ~$10 admission for what I could do for free at the Richmond Auto Mall...

When I have gone in the past it has taken me around two hours to walk through all the displays and sit in some cars.

If you walk fast and go during a less busy period you might be able to see a good portion of the show.
