Neon Going to the Auto Show...

I will be going to the Chicago Auto Show this Saturday!

I'll be sure to visit the smart booth, take pics and gather info on the whole deal.

I'll also gather info on what other vehicles the smart has to compete with this year...

I'll finally be able to find out how exactly do I fit in these wonderful machines!

Video may be taken also...

P.S. My friends are not exactly into "smartism" just yet so I may have to leave them at the Dodge booth while I sneak away to the smarts

I went to the Dallas Auto Show yesterday and, of course, had to go look at the smarts. Obviously I'm hanging around too much when both the salespeople recognized me..

I looked from one end to the other and didn't find anything to compete with the smarts.

Cool! I go every year since I live so close to the convention center. All my friends think the auto show is only there for folks in the market for a new car. We didn`t have smart at ours last year, so I`ll have to check this year(next month). Enjoy

Yes, and I had revised the travel plans.

1hr 30min on the Metra train (iPod needed)

10min on the CTA bus (hide the iPod)

One of the two that are coming with me is an expert at public transportation so I'll make sure to heed his warnings

I plan to have fun, getting into any driver seat I could

Let us know if you see the ELECTRIC smart in Chicago?

Howdy
Let us know if you see the ELECTRIC drive smart displayed at the Chicago show?

I read about (and saw pics) of the ELECTRIC smart at LA, Detroit and Orlando.
BUT when I went to the DC auto show (theme this year "GOING GREEN")
The ELECTRIC smart was a NO SHOW. (BOO)

They only had 2 smarts (Passion Coupe and Cabrio) in a very small smart booth, and another Passion Coupe in the "Green Pavilion" with all the other ELECTRIC concept cars?
