Default Portland Auto Show

Went to the Portland Auto Show last night. Overall I enjoyed it but was dissapointed that the G8 wasn't available; except on a carousel like a concept car. I was told they will start shipping next month; so GM couldn't have one available at the show for patrons to "touch and feel"?!?

The 08 CTS is nice but no leg room and about as much headroom in the backseat as in my TA; scratch that off the my of possibilities. No I take that back, I think my TA has more headroom in the back!

There were 2 cars that I saw where one had to wait in line to sit in them: 1 was the Z06, obviously, and the other was the Acura TL. The Acura was nice. Had plenty of leg room and I like the big navigation screen. Guess that will replace the CTS on my list of possibilities.

I loved the 08' CTS from the SEMA show. I'm 6'-1" and had plenty of leg room?? I loved the seats too, and everything was very well laid out on the dash etc..

That G8 is gonna be SWEET.

Did you happen to check out the new Malibu? I have yet to go see one in person.

I can't believe I didn't make it this year It's a great event.

I don't remember seeing the Malibu either accept on a carousel like the G8.
