But, are they coming back to Chicago? Last years display by a local dealer flat out sucked. They had the cars roped off. The people behind the ropes looked to be porters who were uninterested in helping people or selling cars.

Who cares, the cars will be roped off, locked and surrounded by security just like they were when they had a presence at the show. Unless your an owner or have a Amex Centurion card your out of luck. So for me, don't care. If I wanna drive a Porsche I'll go rent one for a day.

The last time they were here they had them open so you could get in and generally see the cars, just like a Chevy.
