So who's going this year? We had a few last year go. I personally don't know if I'll be able to make it since I think I have my Air Force Reserve weekend.

The dates are Nov. 2-6. For more info go to http://www.seattleautoshow.com

Just seeing the Carerra GT up close made me drool for a month

And then this will be there:

Mazda MX-5

Miata’s sleek cockpit is packed with eye-catching amenities, including red-glow aluminum gauges, well-bolstered bucket seats, a short-throw shifter and a three-spoke leather-wrapped steering wheel. Silver-finished interior door handles, air vent bezels, center panel and gauge rings enhance Miata’s sporty yet sophisticated look.

For the 2005 model, Mazda poured two new exterior paint colors into the Miata mix, adding Razor Blue and Nordic Green to the carryover Classic Red, Sunlight Silver Metallic and Black Cherry Mica. Also new this year is a retractable key for the Miata’s keyless entry system with the optional Convenience Package and the availability of Sirius satellite radio. Sirius provides more than 120 satellite channels from coast to coast and is compatible with both the stock and upgraded sound systems.

MazdaSpeed6

The 274-horsepower, 280 lb-ft of torque, all-wheel drive MAZDASPEED6 is expected to add additional customer and media accolades to the MAZDA6 family’s already impressive collection.

Power from the direct-injection turbocharged 2.3-liter engine is channeled to an all-new Active Torque Split All-Wheel Drive system for traction and handling in all conditions.

Milam has one of the special edition miata on thier showroom floor. To be honest I'm not all that impressed with it, I think I like the look of the second gen interior more.

Granted I haven't driven the new one yet, so I'm just going off of athstetics.

Ohh, and get this, the MSRP of the special edition was something like 27,000. Milam marked it up 5 GRAND because it's a special edition!!!!!! CRACK SMOKERS!!!!! IT HAS AN MSRP FOR A REASON!

Well, the "S" does stand for "suggested," and it's not at all unusual for a hot new car to sell for well above its MSRP. For instance, when the Miata first came out in 1989, it was going for many thousands of dollars above MSRP.

But this can only happen when there is no real competition for the car, as there wasn't for the original Miata, or the Elise now. But charging $32k for a Miata now places it at exactly the same price as a brand new S2000. I know which I'd rather have.
