Well, is it there?

I'm wondering if the show is worth my $20 this year aha!

 

Went by the autoshow tonight and there wasn't anything interesting at all... besides to GTR and the Lexus ISF...

 

No, they only have the 40th anniversary edition RX-8.

Don't pay full price for the Autoshow. You can get $14 tickets here:
$14 Autoshow ticket

All the action is in the MTCC south hall this year, so plan on spending most of your time there. And don't miss the History of Lambo exhibit. The north hall is super lame (Toyota, Chrysler, Hyundai, Subaru and Merc). Mazda and BMW are in the Skydome.

The Skyline GTR is really fugly in person. It looks like a riced up G37 coupe.

 

Do they even have a demo of the new Renesis 16X engine? If not I don't think i will be going

 

I was lucky to get a few free tickets from the wifey... but I think it's a waste money overall if you have to pay $20 to get in... Not nearly as impressive as the pictures that I've been of Detroit autoshow...

 

If you went to Detroit, like some of us went together this year, there is seriously no need to see the Toronto one.

Detroit has hotter car models and more cars/concepts to see.

 

So I heard..

 

Went to both Detroit and Toronto this year.

Detroit for the 1st time. So I was interested to compare. My finding was that the Toronto show holds up very well to the Detroit show. They didn't have the Challenger at Detroit either, which we have in Toronto. On the whole, yes Detroit has more premiers, and ultimately more concepts, and that over the top American way about it, but the Toronto show in my opinion is almost as good.

The '09 RX-8 isn't at the Toronto show. And Detroit had the 16x cutaway, but it's no different than in the press release pictures. Just bigger rotor/bore, and direct injection. Nothing earth shattering. The fact that all housings on that engine are to be aluminum however is very interesting.

I sat in the GT-R. You can't see anything out the front. Doesn't inspire anything resembling a sporty feeling. It feels big. The design looks disjointed. I don't doubt the performance, but ultimately I bet the fun to drive isn't there. I'd rather have a Lotus Exige.

 

i went to both, i was disapointed by detroit. i found the toronto one more enjoyable for a few reasons. one of them being lotus, porsche, and aston martin were absent in detroit and present for toronto.

 

I went to the Toronto Autoshow and could not get over the white rx8 with the mazdaspeed body kit. I'm body kit hunting now. It was a very very expensive autoshow for me.

 

SO about the 09 rx8, i went to northhill mazda to ask them if there really is a 09 rx8 for canada. my buddy is the sells manager there and his answer was "i havent gotten any notice about the 09 mazda rx8 but i have seen it on some ads but what i have been told is that....the 09 mazda is neither gonna be a canadian model nor US."
thats what he said but who knows.......

 

What ever you do...do not go witha replica...thats all I have to say.....

You will not be happy with the results....

 

That is funny cuz thats the same **** they said about the '07 RX8

 

Everyone says that so thats what I'm going to do. Just need to find a relatively cheap place to buy them from.

 

PM rockstar...I think he might be selling, he's local too..so shipping dosent kill the deals coming from US..

 

I'm buying his CAI. I'll see if hes planning on selling his bodykit too. He didn't list it on his post.
