-definitely going to the Vancouver Auto Show at the convention centre.


The exotics is the show's highlight for me. -taking pictures of the cars that Bugatti, Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren, Maserati and Aston Martin are displaying at the show.

2013 Vancouver Auto Show full preview and event details

Based on the link above, there's definitely gonna be quite a few sick cars there.

I'm gonna check it out tomorrow night! I've been to the last 4 or 5 auto shows and I think it's gotten a little better every year

I'd go only if I was in the market for a new car. Not paying 15$ to see cars like the ones at the automalls or on the streets. The show lacks prototype cars or showcasing new technologies in the auto industry.

Just came back from the media breakfast/preview. It was pretty sweet! Audi, BMW and Benz were the best sections. The supercar area wasn't that great except for the new Aston, which is dropdead gorgeous.

I don't really see the point of the van auto show unless you're in the market for a new car. Most of the exotics can be seen at MCL, Weissach, and the other dealers on that block.

Don't waste your time. Grab a coffee and walk by MCL, Ferrari, Weisach?, and the other dealers in the area downtown.
Or walk around the automall....unless you want to buy a car I see no point to this show anymore and sadly there are not many photo ops at the show now with the crowds of people around any interesting cars.

I'll be going. I'm not exactly in the market for a new car, but I don't think it's a waste of time.

I enjoy seeing the new cars up close and getting to sit inside some. Even check out the new interiors/features on the Toyotas, Hyundais, VW's, etc.

It's not just about taking pictures of Ferraris and Lambos.

For me, anyway.
