Default T.O. Intn'l Auto Show worth the $15 ?

Anything worth seeing at the Auto show in 2 weeks. I used to go every year, and then I found it to be boring as the nice cars are put too far back and the quality of the TO was pathetic compared to Detroit, LA and Japan's.

But I'm searching for 1 redeeming quality to validate my $15 ..

as my dad says, it gives you an excuse to get out and have the stink blown off you..
Short of that,I can't see any other reason

Simon - This will most likely not answer your question but...

For years I have gone to the Toronto show and very much enjoyed it. Toronto is the closest major city to me and I always have fun when I stay over!
Last year the show had expanded into three building and I was very impressed. I got to see the E46 M3, the Mini Cooper, my first S2000 hardtop and the Nissan Z concept. This year based upon what I have seen at other shows I too might be skipping the show this year, not because Toronto is bad but because I'm not to thrilled with concepts this year.

Now on the other hand, if you live closer than a 3 hour drive ( ) how can you not pop on over for a walk through at only $15? Or drive to Rochester and spend only $10 and see the absolutely crappiest Dealer Show you have ever experienced. It is truly awful!

Actually last year was the first time I ever sat in an S (I didn't go the year before).

Personally I don't think its worth it because they don't have too many concept cars shown like LA, Detroit, etc. ... so there's nothing I can't visit the local dealer for free to look at (and maybe test drive).
