Default 2009 Chicago Auto Show

So, the auto show is over by this Sunday, has anyone gone yet? Lexus has a pretty good showing with two F-Sport cars, an IS and a GS, you also see the new IS250C as well as the HS250. The new RX350 is there also. A bit smaller then typical auto shows in the past, but still not bad in itself.


















Just a few quick pictures I have from the Lexus booth. I have other pictures on my flickr if anyone isn't planning to go and just want to see a few photos of it: http://www.flickr.com/photos/andrew_...7614094269786/

Bumblebee from Transformers is there!

man when I was a kid we always went to the Auto Show, dreaming about all the hot new cars. Now that I'm grown and could actually afford one, I don't go...to much of a tease.

Haha, they are just shot with a Canon DSLR, nothing too special, only the two were edited for fun, but the others were more or less straight out of camera with no much post processing.

It's up to you if its worth the $10, I had free tickets from dealerships, so yeah, you might be able to get discount tickets at Shell gas stations I believe. But if you go to a dealership this weekend, they should have free tickets remaining to give out typically to potential car buyers. It's just something fun to do on a Sunday or something with some friends.

You could take public transit..

But yeah, it's about the same every year, just new cars. Packed on weekends though. Might be worthwhile if your actually considering to purchase a car.
