Great pics! Looks like the same cars and displays as was in the Chicago Auto Show back here in February, except for the Chevy SS.

The new Corvette is so weird in that pictures never do it justice. It looks much better in person. At the Chicago Auto Show a few weeks ago, the female spokesmodel started her speech by saying something like, "Here's it is, the new Corvette, totally new! And yes, it looks better in person than in pictures!" What an odd thing to say, but I guess in today's world of instant marketing and social media, Chevy was aware of the criticism immediately.

And yes, the Camaro from the upcoming Turbo! movie was at the Chicago Auto Show too, but there were always about 4-5 little kids around it! That was their target audience, so I think it's pretty effective.

I liked the Hot Wheels Camaro, both the 1967 and the new one. Very cool blue they used on those cars. The 2014 version was displayed on an orange track, looking like it just came out of a Hot Wheels loop.
