Chicago 2008: Autoblog has arrived

The Autoblog crew arrived in Chicago yesterday, and after a good night's sleep is ready to go for the first of two media preview days for the 2008 Chicago Auto Show. Known in some circles as the Biggest Little Auto Show, the Chicago show likes to point out that you could fit the Detroit Auto Show, LA Auto Show and New York Auto Show within the confines of McCormick Place in downtown Chi-town. While true, there are generally fewer debuts here than at any of those other shows. So we've got three times the square footage for a third of the debuts. Nevertheless, we plan to make the most of it.

Watch out for the snow, and please focus on the European brand a little, just for me.

Recomend Ruth's Chris or Wildfires for a good steak!
How about taking a day trip to the Volo Auto Museum for an in depth report?

? Why do they have the most important auto shows like Detroit & Chicago at this time of year in the WINTER?
For the health & safety of all those involved in the industry, directly & indirectly, would it not make way more sense to have it at least a more forgiving time of year?
You realise how many people loose their lives traveling to + from these shows every year?
Not to mention serious injuries & vehicle damage. Cant the insurance industry put some pressure or incentive?
