    Been attending the show on and off for years and the last few times have had few exotics.

    This year surprisingly their back .

    Ferrari with the new 458 spyder (sweet), breadvan and even Michael Schumacher's F1 car etc.
    Maserati, Aston, Lambo and Lotus too.

    Worth going to.

    I'm hoping to go this saturday for the first time in 20yrs and if the 'Bread Van' is there that is all the reason I need, time to flirt with some women totally out of my league lol!!

    What is the cost of admission $12 and what about parking?

    FF, GTO, Cali convertible and US premier of 458 Spider. Maserati Birdcage, GT, GT convertible and QP, two Lambos, two Avoras, even my beloved 500 Abarth. It was very nice to see the exotics come back to the show.

    I think the organizers made a BIG mistake sequestering them to the far corner. They can be used as the ultimate draw for people to come see; so many would oogle the Italians but take the opportunity to check out the vast offerings of the practical cars. A shame, really.

    Don't see the Breadvan there, assuming you're jokingly referring to the FF?

    I would've flown there to see the real Breadvan.

    I spoke to the Lambo rep at the show, and he said they had just opened up a new location in Austin? can anyone verify this, or have an address? I'm actually heading that way to visit some friends, and wouldn't mind stopping by. The rep said it was a gorgeous showroom.

    edit: nevermind, I retract that previous statement. I don't know why, but I could have sworn that's what he said, but Lambo says "nope." On second thought, it may have been the Ferrari rep instead...
