Default The Dallas Auto Show is this coming weekend

Assuming the GS-F will be shown there?

I would love to see it in person. I haven't really taken to the bolted-on RC look of the front end, but I may just like it in person. Hey, my lease is up in Jan. '17. I'm already planning.

If you mean which brands, pretty much every major brand participates. Even niche brands like Aston Martin.

No, he just posted the link to who's going to be there, it's just embedded to his post. He likes doing that to confuse us!

That show ranges between "State Fair shopping extravaganza" and "dealership in a box". If you wander around enough, you may spot the Z club's cars there, or some classics, or a full carbon fiber Zonda you have to stay 15 feet away from.

That being said, Infiniti had their not-finalized-but-not-concept Q50 at the 2013 show. Lexus also brought their 2013 and 2014 IS350. Mercedes had a full suite of snub-nosed cars on display, and Subaru had a super cool cutaway view of a horizontally opposed engine that you could crank by hand.

I like trolling the booth babes, and evidently they are hand picked, mostly well trained, and can go "off script" if they are veterans. The Infiniti girls told me way more than I expected. I asked the chick at the Nissan Leaf booth where the plugins were. She looked at me kinda puzzled, and I said well, the car is essentially one giant battery, so you should be able to plug in electronics like boom boxes, laptops, you know? What if I want to have a DJ party in the forest? She laughed but conceded that would be cool to have.

Anyway, I'll be going and taking lots of pictures. Thanks for the heads up, almost forgot!

Thanks. I wondered why it was in bold? (Duh) I'm easily confused these days!
