why would any of the "high end" manufactures put their vehicles next to those sub-standard domestics. that show was more like, the car companies that are going to be out of business in ther next few years. Detroit has not had a fresh idea since 1974. they just don't get the idea that we don't want their junk. build a good car at a reasonable price, we will buy it. Not the junk that they want to push on us

For FireWireRocks and others that may think the same.

The Raleigh AutoExpo is open to all dealers and manufacturers. It is up to the local dealers and manufacturers as to whether or not they choose to partipate. Nissan and it's cousin Infiniti were both in the show - - the others mentioned are under the umbrella of a dealer in the area that does not wish to be a part of the show. Figure it out.

What a huge let down. Looks like Detroit is trying to manipulate the general public into buying their stuff again at inflated prices to save their butts. I've been to this annual auto show a number of times and this year I was very disappointed to find that Jaguar, BMW, Mercedes, Porsche, Nissan, and Audi were not (allowed?) at this years' show. In my opinion, these are the cars people come to these shows to see. The majority of the general public doesn't get to see these cars up close and enjoys the opportunity to drool at them during the shows, but this year it seemed like little more than a very poor collection of boring boxes from Detroit's finest(?).

wow posted at almost 7pm , well after we have any chance to go see it, gg wral

I wish I would have known that Robbie was going to be in Raleigh this weekend. I've been wanting to meet him every since I saw his reality TV series.
