No Audi either.
I test drove the Fusion Hybrid, and the Ford Edge. I'm not an SUV person but I did enjoy the Edge.
Hung out at the Ford display for a bit, had too much fun playing with the folding seats on the Flex, Edge, and Explorer, oh and the self closing tailgate. Saw an old timer asking one of the Ford reps about the 2012 Focus, the rep knew NOTHING...even though the answers were in the literature being given out from their own display. Oh and no Mustang test drives , the nor*cal dealers didn't wanna give up a 5.0 GT in fear of losing a sale.
Chevy was doing test drives in the Camaro, way to be close minded bay area Ford dealers.
Poked around at a bunch of the Hyundai's, a LOT of people were *wowzers* over the Sonata, Genesis sedan, and Eqqus. Korea is definitely a force to be reckoned with.
I'm trying to talk my co worker out of buying an Acura MDX, hell I'd recommend a Buick SUV over the MDX after chceking them out.

I went on Saturday night, I think I was there around 6PM to 9-ish PM on Saturday.
To be honest, a bit disappointed that some manufacturers didn't show up. But that wasn't the big one.
The big one was that the Mazda area did NOT have an RX-8. Did they stop production already???
