Portland International Auto Show

So I am going to the show today and I will be posting some pictures of the goods. If anyone else has gone and has pictures lets get em up on here! I'm hoping to see something along the lines of the new 16C(X) rotary motor or something to represent the rotary world.

Nope, only cool prototype displays were from Ford and Chrysler, and even then they were old ones.

Though the new STI was on display, better looking in person too.

Nope [echo..?]

Though I believe in the early days of its advertisement they claimed it was 1.4Litre instead of 1.3..

There were some amazing cars in that booth. It was so crowded it wasn't worth taking pictures...Gotta love those Audi's.

I have to say my favorite car at the show was the Nismo 350Z. Honestly these pictures dont do this car justice.
