Hi All:

___Just a quick note. Tom B., Rich K., Eric P. and myself had a mostly uneventful and long day at the 2007 Chicago Auto Show with only a few tidbits worth reporting. Mainly the Nissan Altima hybrid is not being sold for a loss … Ok, so that was not that big of a news story but it was a very non-noteworthy show so far. All of us are tired and have a very cold drive to get home.

___Good Luck

Hi Ed:

___I do not know about free but Eric gave you the Chicago Autoshow prices. I think I remember hearing a radio spot of local GM dealers having a multi-free ticket give away if you test drive a Chevy or something similar? Call up a local Chevy dealer and see if they have anything like that. Driving anything they have on the lot would be a complete waste of your time today but for a few free tickets it may be worth it??? Notice I said “may” ;)

___Since it is so darn cold out right now, the Press Event is all but empty of journalists and I bet the show will have similar results when it opens for the public starting tomorrow.

___Good Luck

Wayne: Thanks, I "may" give it a try. Do you know if the Volt concept is at the show?
