Toronto Auto Show GM Booth

lupo · Feb 24, 2019

It might have been the time of day or the day itself, but have to say the GM (Chevrolet) area of the auto show was lame--like very lame. Aside from being quite empty, no doubt in part due to rolling 'protesting' by frustrated GM Oshawa workers there was zero buzz--right down to the sleepy crew representing the brand. Sadly in middle of this sat an absolutely stunning orange ZR1 that GM felt was best presented with muffled audio of the car exhaust while running a hot lap. To the right, a really sharp Grand Sport rag which was drawing little attention.
Oh my..I really hope the C8 lifts things up.
Across the room, the Ford booth was humming, and I wont even get started with Subaru, Honda, Kia, Hyundai, Toyota etc.

No, I didn't. I took very few pictures, although this pic of the Lego 'Bugatti' does not do it justice!

Agree. I dropped by and passed on by pretty swiftly. I think Acura took the prize for liveliest booth with their VR sim and seizure inducing lighting. They're really trying to offload the NSX. Auto show here has become a bit of a dog over the years.

And that dog makes its way west in a few weeks.
