2009 Chicago Autoshow Begins


Another year - Another Chicago autoshow. Today was a great day to go see it. Temps in the lower 30's and the little snow we got overnight was gone by 10:00am. You could feel the effects of the economic downturn at the show. Gone were the flashy exhibits, not many concept vehicles and the few that were there were "green."
With both Chrysler and GM on life support, they stayed with simple displays. Ford had flashier displays as well as Toyota. I must admit that I have a vested interest in what Ford is doing after buying into the company. They seem to be the healthiest of the Big Three.
Over the next week I'll be posting pictures and commenting on what I saw. I hoping to get back at least one more time.
