This isn't nearly as big as Detroit, but still a nice setup. I plan on attending one day at least as I only live within 1 hour of the event.Schedule / Hours / Location / Events

quote:Nick, that would be great if you could do that for us. Thanks. Just got back .... and just in time.. roads were horrible coming home. Took about 2 hrs when it normally takes a little over 1.Anyways, it was setup very nice and I did get some good pics.. most of the same vehicles as in Detroit, obviously, but I think I got some more clearer shots this time.I'll be posting them up in a day or two.

Well i'm just about ready to head out of the door to the Cleveland Car Show, can't wait. Of course look out the window......SNOW!!!

Are there any special incentives relative to the Cleveland Auto Show? I know the standard GM ones, but am curious if there are any additional incentives for the auto show.

Ford is also doing the same. I can't say for any others besides Ford and GM though as I have not seen any additional advertisements.

Thanks Salsa! and Nick. My Vibe is ready to be picked up, but my dealer advised waiting until Saturday, because additional incentive would likely be offered in conjunction with Mpls Auto show. Additional incentive is worth 2 more days wait, especially if it is $500.

Thanks for the advice. It's a tough wait. I lease a 2000 Grand Am GT, but let it sit in my garage for the last month so I did not exceed my lease miles. Since that time, I have been driving the wife's Sienna. It is a nice, smooth ride, but miss driving a fun car.

quote:What do you think of the Sienna though overall?Give me details. Overall, it is actually a very nice vehicle. It is a very smooth ride and handles well for a mini-van. Seats are easily removed for a lot of cargo space. Gets fairly good gas mileage.The only issue to date has been a pesky engine light coming on. But, tinkering with the gas cap actually turns it off. I have not had this issue for about a year. Otherwise, it has been great.I'm not thrilled with the stereo, but oh well, that could be replaced if I wanted to.If you are in the market for a mini-van, I would highly recommend it. I'm just looking forward to zooming around in something a bit more fun.

quote:LOL, now I am trying to think of who makes the Sienna. Man my mind is gone today?Toyota.

Well went to the Cleveland Auto show and it was pretty good... i was impressed with the Pontiac display except for the Vibes...There were no Vibe GTs or anything special for that matter... The new Grand Prix looks pretty hot, the GPX looked great. I guess there is a Vibe GPX in the works but there were none at the show...It is still always fun to go. I brought my wife with me for the first time, she had a better time than she thought she was going to have...Of all the cars i really liked the Mini Cooper. I think that is going to be my next car. I'm going to go to the Cleveland dealer this weekend for a test drive...

Nothing really spectacular... but still good to see them. They had 3 at Detroit including a Vibe with the Sport Package.quote:I guess there is a Vibe GPX in the works but there were none at the show..I was also really hoping to see the other Pontiac GXP vehicles at the show.. but only saw the Grand Prix GXP. Here's a pic of the Vibe GXP from SEMA:http://www.genvibe.com/images/wallapape ... pgquote:Of all the cars i really liked the Mini Cooper. I think that is going to be my next car.
