Jeep booth was by the entrance
In Vancouver BC, Canada, we have Auto Show every year in the end of March.
Compare to Tokyo, it is way more relaxed and more brand….at least I though most of the brands we see in Canada today.
But….why was it that relaxed…? Was it because of the Easter weekend or people in Vancouver are simply not interested in cars?
At least, it is good chance to check around randomly at the same time.
Then….what I felt was….Americans are still way too fat for nothing and wasting space a lot.
They are very hard to judge the size from driver’s seat and interior space is not big enough for its size.
Even me 5.8 feet tall did not have enough head clearance in most of American cars.
I spend nearly half a day and 2013 Honda Accord was my favorite…..what is the boring result???
Quite well designed next American standard.
The person next to the red shirt had quite good understanding about American car industry. They need this kind of person for their management.
In American cars, I would say 2014 Chevrolet Impala was my favorite.
As I mentioned in a past article, the design is quite well done and so as interior design.
It also had generous interior space on both front, rear and also extremely big size trunk as well.
At least, it was way better looking than brother “Cadillac XTS”.
There were couple of concept models in Chevrolet booth.
This compact Italian super car look model was slightly more popular.
From rear, it looked like small Camaro….
A stuff told me those are only empty body shells for design research and taking votes which we liked.
When I was there, the Yellow one was a little bit more popular. But I could say it was partly because of body color as well.
The gray one would look way better with stronger color as well.
Generally speaking, Vancouver BC has never been to be the place to reveal exiting brand-new models as result, and all I saw was something I already knew from some other media including internet.
But, it is hard to play with so many cars at the same day is very valuable experience and compare to some other big shows like LA, New York or Detroit, it is quite relaxed and I did not have to deal with long waiting line at all apart from Free Cafe ran by Buick.
$15 for this was great deal form me…..
This is where we had the show.
This was built before Vancouver Olympic and now criticized as waste of tax money.
