I noticed there were a couple people in the San Antonio area (maybe more if people would put their locales in the profile), and was wondering if anyone was planning on going to the auto show? The Mazda 3 is supposed to be there and I was hoping someone could take pics or pick up some information.

There's an auto show in San Antonio? WHY?

Good point!

Most metro areas have an auto show. They're not as big as the North American, New York, LA, or Chicago, but they do exist. Louisville and Nashville had one a couple months ago.

I guess some of us are spoiled with large auto shows - Went last year to the Canadian Int'l Auto Show in Toronto and it was pretty solid - had a few Wolld debuts and many Canadian premieres. Went for the while day and I still didn't have time to see EVERYTHING (although I did skip the Fast and Furious display - aka: Tuner crowd shops and rydez yo!)

Yep, they also have a BS auto show here in Atlanta. It should be bigger for the price they are charging to get in.

LOL...We also had that 2f2f BS crap there too. The exhaust on the EVO was like 12 inches wide.

Oh the humanity!

So which Autoshow in the east cost is considered to be the best?

 

[atl]

I really don't know but I would have to say Detriot or NewYork.

 

[mz6zoomzoom]

Wow, detroit is on the east coast now? Iiiiinteresting

but out of those two, definitly Detroit.

 

[Kazbaeden]

I've never been to an auto show, so I don't really know how they work. Are they for industry only, sort of like E3, or are they open to the public?

 

[mz6zoomzoom]

open

I've been to the Louisville one. It was pretty decent. You could even test drive all kinds of vehicles out in the parking lot. Of course, I was only 16, and my dad wouldn't let me. :-(
