I plan on venturing to Detroit but after going last year I have to say the Toronto show is great. Detroit was nothing special - perhaps VIP and media days tell a different story. I just want to go to see things sooner rather than later (new GTI, Eos, some other manufacturer's goodies). I enjoy the CanadianIAS more though, and Toronto has lots of good places outside the actual show for after as opposed to dirrty Detroit.

I may be going during VIP day myself. Definitely with you guys (will take the entire day off so I don't miss anything this time 'round - couldn't voice my opinion on the RidgeLine last time  :D)

Careener, the Union Station LCBO we passed in the PATH shortly after (a long time standing) realizing Wing's nifty GPS Flashlight wasn't helping our noble cause. Mmmmm... booze...  :cheers:

Really lookin' FW to this...  :bounce:

Well JB we will be there. I will be getting a room at the Dome overlooking the show just like last year. DSW….you coming down again?


Not sure if I'm making the trip this year yet, Snowy.  I really want to, though.  I'll keep you posted.

Come on man…..and drag the MDX character with you. You can share a room so you don’t have to expose yourself to my toxic fumes.
