I expect to go, but need to go with my wife because we are shopping to a new family vehicle The 95 Odyssey has +90,000 miles...thinking about Subaru Legend/OB, Passat Wagon. Other suggestions? We'll prolly go on afternoon of Friday 1/11...much less crowded than nights/ weekends.

BTW, I think it starts this Saturday and runs thru the next weekend. Many auto dealers have $3. off cpns...neat since the msrp is $9.

I'll watch to see what interest develops....maybe go two times

The Philly show usually leaves a lot to be desired. Then again, I've never been a Honda enthusiast before. Maybe I'll check out their booth for the first time to get a look at the Civics and the Accords...NOT!

In my other life as a die hard Ford performance guy, I've never been thrilled with Ford's booth as SVT, Roush and Saleen have always been absent. Dodge and BMW always have a nice display, but you can forget about sitting in a M3 or M5, as hoards of people are in line for such an experience.
