Live From The 2015 Chicago Auto Show
Today I’ll be posting to Twitter & Facebook from the 2015 Chicago Auto Show, which opens to the general public tomorrow morning and runs through Sunday February 22nd. Yesterday and today are media preview days.
The St. Louis Auto Show is organized by local auto dealerships, whereas the Chicago Auto Show has exhibits from manufacturers — all makes are represented. Several new vehicles will make their debut at this show, including:
- GearOn edition of the St. Louis-built Chevy Colorado
- New Ford Police Intercepter SUV
- An off-road Kia
- A refreshed Chevy Equinox
- 2016 Acura RDX
- 2016 Honda Pilot
- 2016 Toyota Avalon
- Special editions of Toyota’s Camry & Corolla sedans
We visited this show last year — on a busy final weekend. It’ll be nice attending some manufacture press conferences and seeing vehicles on the floor without massive crowds. The only press allowed into the recent St. Louis Auto Show were those being paid to promote the show.

So . . . you’re now “automotive press”?! I don’t know whether to question the standards of the automotive industry or your credentials as an urban design critic! 😉
The show seeks press from all types of outlets, there are lots of media here — not all are Motor Trend columnists.
Waiting for the bus afterwards a writer for AARP asked me about the accessibility of the show. It’s very simplistic to think only automotive writers would attend.
