remotehuman · 11-05-2009, 12:58 AM

sure, why not!

I'm probably not gonna go.

These shows are always CRAZY slam packed with people. I'd rather enjoy looking at the cars from my living room couch. I can probably get a better view of them too.

Danny Boy · 11-05-2009, 09:09 AM

I'm going. Hopefully the RS swap will be running by then.

Go on a weeknight, nice and quiet.

I've been to the NEIAS for about 20 years straight now. The new location is so much better than the Bayside Expo.

o man i cant wait to go. last year was fun but f***ing cold outside. plus i am debating to go either friday nite or saturday afternoon dk yet and maybe sum friends will tag along

Urban07STI · 11-05-2009, 02:23 PM

Probably will stop by. I saw a few subaru's last year in the parking lot.

rabydanimal · 11-05-2009, 03:16 PM

I am really hoping Subaru makes an effort this year. Their booths at these shows have been piss poor. Generally this show isn't as good as in other cities but it's all we have!

hnasko · 11-05-2009, 04:16 PM

I cant wait to see the new Hummers.

I cant wait to see the new Saturns.

I cant wait to see the new Pontiacs.

Last year was actually pretty quiet.

At least there will be more room for the rest of the car companies now

I doubt it, but it would be nice for Subaru to put up a good display. I'm sure it will be all Outback/Legacy/Forester though. Maybe an Impreza 2.5GT thrown in for 'fun'.

delongedoug · 11-05-2009, 06:39 PM

I didn't think it was "CRAZY slam packed with people" and I went on Saturday night last year. I went in my friend's Viper GTS, which was nice.

cprincipe · 11-06-2009, 01:17 PM

Oooh going to the Bruins game Saturday 12/5, maybe turn this into a double-header.

Snow Drift · 11-06-2009, 02:00 PM

The reason the displays aren't that great is that it is put on by the local dealerships, well Subaru of New England. It is not sponsored by the manufacturers like the NYIAS, LA, NAIAS, Frankfurt and Tokyo. It is not sponsored by the manufacturers like the NYIAS, LA, NAIAS, Frankfurt and Tokyo. All you will see is current models and maybe a 5 year old concept car that no one wants. I went when I lived in Boston for 7 years, after the 1st few times I realized it was a waste of money, just go to a dealership.

rabydanimal · 11-06-2009, 03:35 PM

^^ This. The only car I really wanted to check out last year was the GT-R and of course you can't sit in any of the $50k+ cars (aside from that roped off area that had some Astons and stuff but had bouncers checking the thickness of people's pocket books). Worthless, absolutely worthless. At least I can put on nice clothes and go to a BMW dealership pretending I have some money and take a M5 for a rip. IMO these shows should be free or close to free. I hate paying to be advertised to. If there were cool, rare cars at these shows it would be one thing but how many base Imprezas, Ford F-150s and GMC Acadias can you look at before you realize you just wasted your money?

delongedoug · 11-06-2009, 04:54 PM

I'll let you know how it is next time I'm in Tokyo.

you swapped? say it ain't so!

Snowphun · 11-07-2009, 09:06 AM

The CT Auto show is in Hartford this weekend, not sure how they compare in size. Lotus will be at that one with the new Evora, hopefully they'll also be at the Boston show. Their booth would be the size of three cars.
