No. I know we sent some Impreza's and other vehicles(Tribeca's and all). Not sure why we didn't send any being we have 3 STI's here at the dealership.

Just got back from the VIP showing. IS-F was there, some massive ass ford truck prototype that was ugly. No Nissan GT-R which I was hoping to see. No ZR-1, but they managed a ugly ass blue Zo6. Saw the STI, that was better than I had expected. A Ferrari F430 and a Aston Martin, those were nice to see in person.

Also, the VIR booth in the very back corner had an Aerial Atom. That was real ballin.

Other than that, the show was pretty bland. Ill be there again tomorrow night.

I disagree, the jetstream blue is gorgeous.
