2009 New England International Auto Show

[Intrepidation]

This week is the NE Auto show. Every year it seems to get bigger and better so I'm excited. Planning to go Saturday and take tons of photos.

Some highlights to look forward to:

Cadillac will be showcasing its 2010 model lineup and offering complimentary drives to those attending the 2009 New England International Auto Show.

The BMW Isetta is a rare mini car, showing the roots of the modern day Smart. Attendees can have their picture taken with this classic at the Amica Insurance display!

The Newport Concours D'Elegance, a charitable organization commited to the convservation, restoration and preservation of the vintage automobile will be returning for another year. View art deco classics from the 1930s to the 1950s and see how the automobile has changed over time.

Also, meet Wayne Carini on Saturday from 1-3 and 5-7 , master car restorer and host of Chasing Classic Cars, in the Newport Concours area.

Check out Ferrari, Maserati, Lotus and Aston Martin and Lamborghini's latest models!

The Tesla Roadster makes its New England Debut

I've got 434 pics to sort through but I'll post a bunch later.

Got to drive the CTS4, CTS Sport Wagon AWD , SRX, and Escalade Hybrid. Lotta fun, I love the CTS Sport Wagon.

Lotta cool cars on display, a Euro-spec Fiesta, some Challengers, Camaros, a Corvette ZR1, a Corvette Grand Sport, VW CC (not new but I love it) GTR, Genesis sedan and coupe.

There was the Equus, ZDX, 4Runner, LaCrosse and many more new cars.

Plus there were supercars like the Murcielago LP670-4 SV, Gallardo, Gallardo spyder, DBS, DB9, V8 Vantage, Quattroporte, Gran Turismo, Tesla Roadster, F430, F430 Spyder, 599, R8 V10.

Lots of classic like a Miura, and even a 1929 Duesenberg LeGrande

And lots more! This show gets better every year.

Cool! I last went to the New England show in 2004 I believe... It's unfortunate that it's at the very very end of the previous year's autoshow cycle.
