Yeah, thats the "quirky" area...

It just makes me feel it is hard to believe that someone will want to live with that design for 10 years.

You think it is more of a crossover or more of a hatchback?

SW17LS

Yeah, they're not lol

Also saw the refreshed Lincoln Navigator which is well done.

Toys4RJill

Wow. Had no idea it was refreshed. That slipped under my radar.

It looks like they have the Sequoia and BZ24X along with most other models. There will be a full lineup of Lexus models too.

I was surprised to see that BMW will have about 15 models on display but no MB or Audi representation. I'm not sure how accurate these pre-show listings are so maybe some things will change.

SW17LS

Just minor tweaks, most improved is the rear IMO and the new infotainment screen

Toys4RJill

Nice. I can't really spot the differences. but I think it looks great. the table works in this car. The way it integrates with the console vents. I like the PRNDL buttons too. Thanks for the pics SW

SW17LS

Tweaks to the headlights and rear lights are really the bulk of it.

Pre refresh:

Yes - absolutely. That's the point of masking.

You are free to do what you like, without me passing judgment on your decision; no need for you to pass judgment on others, tho.

Toys4RJill

I meant as more of fact check. you don't catch a disease, you get a virus which then turns into a disease. That is what I was more referring to. But I guess I'm wrong

Not passing judgement at all. Was really hoping to go this year. Masked up and vaccine passport in hand. Was cancelled at the very very last minute.

I don't see that as politics. It is simply a policy for show-admission....and in line with at least part of the topic of the thread.

SW17LS

I don't think there is any question a vaccine mandate CAN reduce attendance to things like this, but it depends on where the event is located and what % of the local population who would attend would be unable to go or unwilling to go because of the mandate. Here, almost everybody is vaccinated, so I don't think it has any impact.

If we were talking about a car show in an area where 50% or less are vaccinated, absolutely that would impact attendance.

I'm not a doc, but I don't think that "virus becomes a disease" thing is accurate.

But you went there to check out the LX right? I went to one few months back before Omicron but it was already empty, not the event goers but the cars. I went the first day so maybe people came because they didn't know it would be that bad. Highlights were Supra and C8. No Audi, No MB and of course no high end super cars. A big change this time was they had a huge section for RV's which makes sense.
