Default Autoshows

Anyone planning on going to autoshows this week? I've got one in Omaha and I think the new IS model will be there. Just got my oil changed at the dearlship and they had some discount passes. Going to grab some pics. Last year or the year before they had some surprise cars showing for a limited time like the batmobile from Dark Knight.

Seeing as how the IS will be unveiled on January 15th at the Detroit Show. I highly doubt the new IS will be in Omaha for this Jan 10-13th show.

Just checked the website. Doesn't look like it's going to be there. Too bad.

Looks like the LF-LC concept will be there though.

Imo, the Philly show isn't anything special. I see cooler cars just driving around the burbs.

I'm with you. I went to the NY Auto Show growing up--soooo much better. Philly never has anything exclusive or cutting edge. I've been going to Philly Auto Show for 14 years--nothing has ever debuted there. Sux.

There's a chance I may get to go to the Early Access event at the Chicago Auto Show, which would be a huge trip. Would even be worth donning a black tie.
