Did anyone go to this show last year and was it any good? I might possibly attend this if I have time this weekend.

definitely the worst one i've been to in recent years...

All of my favorite automakers were missing this year WTF...
Audi, Porsche and Ferrari. :P

Weak economy or not, isn't the point of bringing cars to this event to spur interest (& thus sales) of your cars? People are *paying* money to see your offerings...that's the best (and easiest) form of advertising ever!

I'm just glad we had those $5 off coupons and free motortrend magazine subscriptions. Basically went there just to sign up for a year of motortrend for $5.

oh and weak sauce from BMW. Sure they were present, but this year no M's....wtf...

Agreed, there were a few new highlights of the show but quite a few makers were missing or not very well represented. At least I got some good pictures of what was there.

+1 on this, went to the SJ show last weekend and it sucked. Can't believe how much worse it is when you compare it to SF show at Moscone Center.
