Default What we found at the Detroit Auto Show yesterday

WATCH TODAY’S VLOG;
Today’s upload are highlights from our trip to the Detroit Auto Show, it was kind of sad and I am very glad GM did not reveal the C8 there, we looked for it just the same – hope you enjoyed this upload!Thanks for your YouTube support and business considerations

I'm like you Rick, the Supra just doesn't do it for me. Thanks for the peek into the Detroit Auto show. BTW, we went to the Charlotte Auto show. It was also smaller than years before. I thought it may have just been the Charlotte show, but Detroit's looked the same.

Gee Rick, to bad you missed the C8. It was parked back in the rear corner behind the Volts.

Went to the San Diego show. 2019's just a bunch of hold overs.

I thought the detroit show was a disaster this year...

as far as the mustang gt500 and the new supra....both are improvements stock for stock from their predecessors...

otherwsie the show was a complete snooze fest...

next up is the chicago show which traditionally has been as well...

the chicago show is the largest visited show I believe....but usually the reveals are or have been less exciting

maybe this year we will get a surprise?

The new GT500 looks like it has plenty of potential. Maybe once its out my trouble ridden Stingray can find its way to a Ford dealers used lot near me!!!! As for the C8, i'll pass until they get the C7 transmission problem resolved.
