yea, it sucks to have some of the cares roped off, but I guess in todays world its now normal.

Ferrari used to have great exhibits, now, it was one black F430 and that was it.

Mini also had a big showing last few years, no it's much smaller.

I think most of the show was driven by the economy or lack thereof.

Years ago, the show was THE show to go to with all types of cars spread out, easy to see and reach, more working engine examples, more special cars etc.

Like I said, it was a disapointment this year. The big three had large exhibits, but not as "glitzy" as before.

And, yes , it was busy and crowded when I went. Even the Porsche area was difficult to navigate and speak to some of the PCNA people. One dealer who was there wondered why they didn't place my car in the show.. I told him, no one asked.
