I went to it when it was in Virginia Beach last weekend and was very disappointed.
In my opinion, most of the new cars coming out are ugly.
Car makers are making cars bigger and less efficient and I have NO idea what they have been thinking when they design these horrible things.

There were a small handful of cars I did like:
Suzuki Reno (of course! LOL)
Scion xA
Range Rover
Prosche Caymen (mid engine, AWD

!! )
Jeep Wrangler

Then there was this VERY VERY UGLY concept Dodge Viper.
I think the design team must have been drinking and then beaten up by their angry wives when making this.

That's my very biased opinion on the auto show.

LOL

they had an F1 car there with the audi at the end of the audi section

they were part of the michelin exhibit along with the motogp bike that won last year (michelin did a clean sweep in the major racing last year... f1, motogp, and lmp)

I think perhaps not all the cars were at the show I attended.
There were only 4 Audi cars and they were between the Jaguars and Rovers; there were no bikes at all, nor was there a Michelin exhibit.
