Disappointing L.A. Auto Show

Just got back. What a disappointment. The only GT on the floor was a brilliant blue GTC roadster, locked with the top up and a spokemodel who knew nothing about the GTs. There was what appeared to be a GTR on an elevated stand, which was race-prepped.

The Mercedes Project One concept car was on the stand, too, but it was elevated and it was hard to see.

As a Bimmer driver, too, I was interested in seeing what BMW was doing. No Z4 or 8 concept cars but there was the new all electric i Vision Dynamics concept sedan as well as the hideous X7.

Porsche had its own hall, but Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Ferrari and Lamborghini didn't bother to show up. I don't blame them. I wish I hadn't bothered.

Noticed this trend in regional auto shows lately, seem to be trending towards the “common car crowd” and leaving gear heads disappointed.

I have no idea. I don't go to car shows to eat.

That's true. But it was a tan top. Jarring.

GT3
The SF show wasn't horrible McLaren, Ferrari, British Motor Car with a Pagani and Lambos and whatnot. GTR was there. A bunch of other exotics too.
