Was it just the next gen GTI that was there?  Or was the next gen Golf, and Golf wagon there?

Only the GTI, and for some reason two of them in the same colour, one locked on a podium and one opened up on the show floor. No Golf at all, neither the current one or next year's.

That classic Mustang was just there for press day - it was gone by Friday morning.

The Lexus stand was near the exit of the last hall, and I was looking for the CT200h but did not see it at all...perhaps too much new car fumes by then  :fall:

Oh, and Infiniti's already tight display got more crowded as they had acrobats from Cirque du Soleil perform right in the middle of the place, crowding all the car doors. Unless you can balance a Q50 on top of another Q50, I don't see the reason they were there. My opinion on the circus act:  :stfu:  Get out of my Auto Show time!!
