Just came back from the NY Auto Show....

Did I miss something on another floor?!?

The 997TT, GT3 and just about everything else was a no show!

Even the Cayman was a base model!

What the hell?!? It was the weakest Porsche booth I have ever seen.

I hope I just missed some other Porsche exhibit....

 

I know - I was there Saturday - they had nothing.

 

Two weeks ago Denver had a TT, Targa, Cab, Cayman, Boxster, coupe and a Cayenne. Both the TT and the Targa were labled "not for sale" PCNA cars.

 

LA had the whole entire selection

 

I was also there on Friday. It kinda sucked, nothing special..!!

 

The only two shows that Porsche (and every other manufacturer for that matter) really cares about here in the U.S., is the L.A. and Detroit auto shows. L.A. Auto show is always awesome, in addition to the multiples of each model, they usually have a nice showing of vintage race cars from 550's to 962's and a current factory car like a GT3Cup or occassionally a concept car.

 

its funny when i was at geneva, i was like wheres the new turbo, and then i noticed I just walked by it as it was in a row of C4's

 

I went there on Monday and it was waist of my time .I look up close on two cars Spyker D12 and new AMG CLK 63 witch was on turntable, but I was invited to look inside The Cayenne tt wit out sport package .looked very unfinished and no 997 tt

 

I was thinking of going on Sunday. Is it worth it overall or was the whole show pretty lame????

 

Agree with Scott, the only two domestic shows worth going to are LA and Detroit.

 

I dont think it was worth it. Nothing to really see other than the Vantage Cabrio, Lambo Superleggera and new Viper SRT10. I am not big on Mercs, the Porsche booth was obviously horrible, BMW disappointing, etc, etc.

If I were you, I would spend an couple of hours at Manhattan Motorcars down the street as opposed to the Javitz center. Much better stuff on hand.

 

I agree. Show was very disappointing!!!

 

I went on Sat and the Sales rep told me she would be rich if she had a $1 for every time someone asked to see the Turbo, Porsche really missed the boat at this show.......

 

i was there on sat and porsche had jack ****! lame! i enjoyed all the amgs! the best one again!

 

Just spoke to a friend who was at the Vancouver auto-show and same thing. Porsche had a lame presentation...a Cayenne and something else, he could not remember. No Lambos or Ferraris that he could remember, but plenty of Mercs, AMG's etc.

Not too surprising really as Canada I am sure is only a small market to them (I know; I used to live there, where these types of cars are unGodly expensive), and Porsche only now seems to want to go where the money goes....
