So i go the auto last night with wanting to see one car the ZL1, we start out at the audi side because i have a friends that works for them( not worth the money if you ask me, but to each their own) we make are way across the room to the GM section get the the Chevy part see the corvettes, find the camaros but no ZL1, i must say i was dissapointed. Good thing i didnt pay to get in.

They had all three versions of the CTS-V but no ZL1.

You should've asked to speak with a manager!

The Mpls Auto Show is usually pretty lame anyway compared to other shows, but I thought the ZL1 would be there. Thanks for the heads up.

Ray@RDS · 03-16-2012, 04:48 PM

I agree It was lame! I too wanted to see the ZL1!!!

Drake Heminger · 03-16-2012, 05:47 PM

That's funny the other recent one didn't either... Maybe they recalled all of them?

eolson · 03-16-2012, 09:08 PM

What a joke, it reminds me of the 2008 Detroit Show, no Challenger even though it was ready to launch in the spring, un believable. Erik

Ridiculous, now they are not even marketing it?

It was lame, I spent most of the time talking to some good friends from Automotive Concepts, like I said one car that I've been waiting to see and it's like a unicorn, I'm starting to think it only exist on paper.

PSP-SS · 03-17-2012, 06:33 AM

None at the PGH auto show either. Obviously we are not in the cool city group in GM/Chevy eyes. :(

DrkPhx · 03-17-2012, 09:38 AM

But the 2013 GT500 was there. Go figure.

I was disappointed they didn't have a ZL1 too. It was strange though, I was in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and went to their auto show the week prior. It's a much much much smaller show than Minneapolis and they had a black ZL1 there. I was extremely surprised when Minneapolis didn't have one.

+1 On that one.

You need to complain to GM about how the shows have been less effective the last year or so. The guy that used to organize them did a great job! That was one change at GM that didn't go well.
