The 09 Chevy Corvette is available for all to see and drive if the circumstances are correct at your local Chevy dealer.

The real question is will a preproduction/ non concept 5th gen be available to look at even if it is only from behind a silk rope or on a pedestal?

they probably won't have any of the good cars there.
apparently,
seattle gets the shaft, it's always the same weekend as sema in las vegas.
they didn't even have a G8 last year (only 3 months before the car was in dealers)

I don't see him making that point, but in general the Seattle show has a very lame turnout for showcasing the marquee model trims in manufacturer lineups.

Having one or two cool cars usually doesn't justify the cost of entry just to VIEW a car. Unless you're all hip on walking through a line of Kia's best, meh.

I think the Seattle show is great if you're in the market for a new family car to browse and sit in the cars without hassle but the Seattle show caters less to the "fast" car crowd IMO.

not at all !!!!!


I'm just saying, (from past experience)
they probably won't have the ZR1
(they didn't have the G8 last year, or Camaro)
and "if" they do, it will probably be roped off, so you won't really get to look at it anyways

if you go to the listing, you will see that they DO have the ZR1, the G8 & the Traverse will all be there. http://www.seattleautoshow.com/


They do have a hard time getting the concept or new cars there.

& yes Expect the Traverse & the ZR1 to be roped off

Unless something majorly happens as of right now we are not slated to get a camaro or even a bumblebee car (which was there last year) due to the fact that most of the cars may be over at sema (Dang Tom I wish I would have taken you up on that one) lol.

Why would the Traverse be roped off? I looked at two and test drove one this weekend at local Chevy dealers. If your interested in seeing what GM has to offer the Seattle Auto show is not the place to go.

some of us are not lucky enough to having a dealership with in driving distance that is lucky enough to have one of those.

I personally like going to the seattle auto show because it gives me a chance to look at alot of what not ony what GM is offering but what every one else is.

Wasn't it one of the Z28's they used in the movie? Seems we were all lookin' at the underside of it more than the rest of it.

Might go for fun - Howard hit me up if you want to go, I'll see about tickets

That's called Hollywood.

And like it or not, it was a prototype of the new Camaro -- GTO or not.
