Thanks for the link, Manny! I can see an Imola Orange NSX, a lime green Murcileago, and a couple of Lotuses (Loti?) being set up!
 
Will be attending Tuesday afternoon (when the rush has abated!!). Let me know if anybody else is interested in going.

Regards.

Has anyone been to the auto show yet? What did you think? How was the Honda/Acura section? My friend went and said it wasn't too good.
 
Jim my plans changed and I went Sunday what a Zoo tons of people. The Acura set up was fair nothing to get to excited about a Orange/Orange NSX and a million kids fingering it up. The only reason I went was top see the Yellow Enzo and the Lime Green Lambo Murcelago which are roped off but are cool as Hell. My friend took a lot of pics I will have him post them as soon as he can FYI $10 to get in and $12 to park.

I went Saturday and it was a zoo... in addition to the above cars, I thought the new Mustang GT and Ford GT prototype (aka "GT40") were cool too.

Ferrari/Maserati were in their own booth, which included a silver 575M and a red 360 Spider. The Shell 'exotic cars' booth also had a nice pearl yellow Diablo and several Lotus (Elise, Esprit), in addition to the cool lime-green Murcie.

SUVs and trucks were, as usual, very well represented.

Thanks NSXaholic! I'm looking forward to finally seeing the body style in person, in a color I haven't seen in person yet. BTW, did they have the factory-performance RSX and Accord coupe there?
 
Well I finally made it to the Chicago show and have a few observations:
1) there are way too many SUV's!
2) I like the new NSX body style and I like
Imola orange over orange leather. The new NSX drew alot of appreciative comments
from onlookers.
3) The Accord coupe concept is sweet, I wish they would build it, I'll take mine in black with a smaller (or no) wing
4) The honda/Acura display was otherwise disappointing: The S2000 present was in the worst possible color combination, there was no RSX factory performance concept and they really should have a CART or IRL car there to remind people who is the leader in Japenese racing development.
5) I need a Lotus Elise!
All in all, an OK show.
