Default 2010 Motortrend Auto Show

I went last night for a media night thing before they opened today and all and I was disappointed.
I knew the snow would affect the show, but not this bad.
It went from the yearly 3-4 floors just down to 1.
There is no aftermarket alley, which is a major let down.
Not many auto makers showed up, just the domestic and a bit of import brands.

If you don't have a AAA card (gets you in for free), don't bother going.

Here's some pics,













Full album,

A few of us attended the DC Auto Show this year and the best part was when we left. It was terrible this year, no exotics, no prototype cars and the biggest celebrity draw was the Redskins cheerleaders...

I like the DC show. I go every year and I'm never let down. This year was different since I went for "media night" which actually was a investors/bankers/media moguls night lol. Free booze and food, I had a jolly good time!
DC show,

Yeah, it sucked *****. With all those boring sedans and suvs, I'm pretty sure it was tailored for suburban families. Anyone else see that fugly CL550 and R8 in the "aftermarket alley" section?
