Wow...I'd do the same thing, honestly.

Sucks. Not sure if I'm going to Chicago auto show this year. I was really looking forward to a first look at the 370z in person. I guess it will depend on what Honda brings out or if there are any other big unveiling's.

Wow, Nissan/Infiniti and Mitsubishi wont be there. I think Ferrari did the same as well. Whose next?

Not a good year for car shows to be sure. I wouldn't be surprised if GM pulled out too.

that is dumb. the ones who show off their goods will sell more in 2009, 2010

Crap. Now I don't really wanna go to the Chicago Auto Show.

interesting, nissan drew the crowd in at the sf auto show. people were flocking to gtr and 370z. acura also had a big crowd.

it's tough to see this stuff happening as a detroit myself.

first porsche dropped outta the show back in 03/04ish. they did it because they just didn't have enough sales in michigan to justify coming. that hurt enough, but now, Rolls Royce, Suzuki, Ferrari, Mitsubishi, Land Rover, and Nissan are all out of the 2009 North American International Auto Show. most hav all said they plan on coming back, but it's part of their company scaling back during these economic times.

Nissan is back on for Chicago. Still a no go for Detriot.
