My favorite was probably the Mercedes Gullwing. Veyron was nice to see in person, but I don't like the car aesthetically. I thought kuni bmw was supposed to bring an lfa, but I didn't see it.

The huge Chicago show gets the FT-1 proto. Portland is considered a B-roll show so we get the smaller traveling displays for all three brands.

The motorcycle display has expanded the past few years and worth the visit.

It is strange that Porsche hasn't had a display in years. I talked with the dealer last year and he said corporate told him he'd have to pay for, staff and display his inventory. Cheap SOB's considering PCA has an active chapter here.
