If you were at the show then you would notice that it was a little dissapointing. Of course if you went on the last day of the show, you missed the best part: The Chevrolet Camaro Convertible Concept. At least everyone got to drool over that one.
The Camaro won two consumer “Best of Show” awards, one for “Best Concept Vehicle” and one for “Vehicle I’d Most Like to Have in My Driveway.” Yet this must-see car was conspicuously absent on Sunday. General Motors pulled the Camaro and the Chevrolet Volt Concept on Saturday night after the show closed because both cars had to be transported to California for previous commitments, according to GM officials.
It was interesting and more than a little disappointing.
My co-worker was disappointed by the lack of Ford trucks on display and the lack of literature in the Toyota truck area. I was disappointed by the uninspiring displays and lack of hot cars. With the Chicago Auto Show being the largest consumer show in North America, everyone expected more and better.
We can remember not too long ago when there were waterfall displays that spelled out words, when there were interactive car displays (turn this wheel and see what happens to the chassis) and when there were more than a few concepts and to-drool-over cars.
