Chicago Auto Show 2013
 
I went to Chicago last weekend for the opening day (for the public) of the 2013 Chicago Auto Show. Saw some cool concept cars, and of course the highlight of the show was the C7 Corvette. Emily and I will be looking for a new DD soon so I also looked at a few econo cars, the Dodge Dart was probably my favorite in the compact class. I was sort of disappointed by the Hyundai Elantra and Sonata. Anyway, onto the pics.

Very cool, thanks for sharing! Nothing fun @ Mitsu? Did they have a Dart SRT4 by chance?

I'll take an LFA in white please! Not sure I'm digging the vette. Cool pics for sure though.

Nothing cool at Mitsu that I saw, couple Evos but meh. I didn't see a Dart SRT4, but I was looking at the Dart in the regular Dodge section, only looked at the Viper in the SRT area.

I liked the LF-LC even more, but both were pretty hot. I wasn't sure about the C7 in pictures before, but seeing it changed my mind. Tail lights actually look pretty good in person.

Got delayed to 2016, I have been trying to keep an eye on them too.

I can't wait to see a C7 in person. Nice pics!

Re: Chicago Auto Show 2013
 
Yeah I think the c7 would look better in person pics make the overall shape weird. What's the difference from LFA to LF-LC?

Srt 4 dart? Really?

Gay. By that time the Dart will be old news and dated.

LF-LC is just a concept hybrid car, I like the styling of it a bit more.

Yeah, not digging the wheels or color on the C7, but show lights always make cars look like crap compared to sunlight. Mmmm, Aventador.

Worth going? Considering going this coming weekend.

The first pic of the vette above isn't flattering. Makes the rear section seem too large, kinda looks like a hatchback.

Sweet pics! Wish the MN one had good cars, we usually don't get much here.

We had a black LFA at work for a while it was pretty sweet looking! I think black looks pretty damn nice too.

Sweet! What's with the uber blower setup on that camaro? Were they going for maximum obstruction? :P

They had an LFA on top gear the other week and Clarkson proclaimed it his favorite car, ever. The exhaust note is enough to win me (a-la F1 car) but that is pretty bad ass. LF-LC looks pretty sick :)

Agree, whenever Toyota gets Yamaha involved with their engines, they end up with a beautiful exhaust note.

Great pictures!

That LFA is sexy. Not sure how I feel about the R8 Spyder.

Also... Screw you Lambo for plasti-dipping! Stealing my ideas! JK the flat black is HOT.

Yea I am glad I went, but also had just as much fun downtown after. I probably wouldn't have enjoyed it so much if I went alone. I liked that you can sit in pretty much any car but the really expensive ones.

The back of the C7 is pretty big, definitely has a wedge look, but it is exaggerated in the first pic.
