Autoblog at the 2007 Chicago Auto Show
by John Neff on Feb 5th 2007 at 2:45PM 
Press days for the 2007 Chicago Auto Show are Wednesday and Thursday of this week. Tomorrow we'll be mobilizing the Autoblog crew and meeting up in the Windy City to prepare for our all-encompassing coverage of the show. You should expect the same amount of detail that went into our excellent coverage of the Detroit Auto Show in early January, including tons of posts, galleries of official images and live shots, and we may have some new video features from the show floor, as well. In order to keep up with our coverage, you can subscribe to our Chicago Auto Show RSS feed using this URL: http://www.autoblog.com/category/chicago-auto-show/rss.xml... or clicking this link.
You'll also be able to bookmark a single post like we had for the Detroit show in which we'll keep all our show coverage material up-to-date by the minute. That post will be up on the site tomorrow and we'll repost its contents each night as a wrap-up for that day's coverage.
The Chicago Auto Show usually lives in the shadow of Detroit, but we never count it out when it comes to big surprises. So be ready to refresh your browser a lot come Wednesday morning when the Autoblog show coverage machine kicks into high gear.
PS: If you want to see or know something in particular, let us know in the comments and we'll do our best to comply.

When you get to the Saturn booth, shake some of them by their lapels and ask where the hell Jason's Astra Redline is. Bah.

Maybe not see anything, but please ask GM if they are planning a Firebird/GTO off the Zeta. I know they won't spill it easily, but i'm sure u can get something out of them.

Ask the MINI people why the hood scoop on the "S" is fake. Also find out if you can get fake chrome side pipes.

do the push test on the new tundra and see if the metal bounces back! you'll get a kick out of it. (hopefully not from a toyota rep)

As for Diesel wranglers. All DCX employees are only to talk about current released products.
The VM 2.8L crd wrangler will be made available outside the north american market.
I'd love to see the MB 3.0L crd be offered in the USA in all vehicles chrysler offers in overseas markets.
I wouldn't mind an alturnitive 3.0L crd from VM too. It's been suggested that the VM 3.0L crd is more affordable to do maintenance with and more capable to be rebuilt. Thicker walls than the MB. But so far the MB 3.0L crd is in multi vehicles and VM 3.0L crd has yet to announce a buyer. Maybe Hyundai, I've seen that they have been working with DDC/VM on other motors. http://www.dieselnet.com/news/2000/01ddc2.php
