^It does suck. Seeing (and sitting in) a Z34 at last year's show got me all fired up to look into Z's again (I wanted one back in HS and again when the Z33 came out but couldn't afford it at the time). It seems to me that the shows are a significant marketing tool and shouldn't be sacrificed so easily, especially since Nissan was one of the only major players absent here this year (Mercedes-Benz was the only other no-show here this year).

There are Nissan TV commercials every other commercial break it seems, it's hard to imagine that attending a car show is too expensive to justify, and we're a small market compared to some of the other cities you guys said they skipped, again it's hard for me to believe.

I hope this is temporary. I can always go to a dealer to look at a car but the show makes it so easy to see everything in a few hours, compared to a few days to see the same number of cars at the dealers.
