Default Auto Shows taking a hit

Unless you live in Detroit, Geneva, Tokyo, or where ever, maybe you have noticed the autoshows in your cities are lacking from previous years?

I just went to the Silicon Valley Auto Show last weekend like I do every year and this year was seriously lacking. Even in a place like the SF Bay Area that still has an amount of disposable income...a place where my mom drove by a veyron on her way to the airport to pick me up on friday. Nissan, Mercedes, Jaguar, Audi, KIA, Infinity, Volvo, Smart and Mitsubishi were just some of the companies that were absent from the show this year. There were also no displays with extreme concepts for the future or rotating car stands with people talking about the model. I wanted to compare the KIA Forte Koup and the Mitsubishi Lancer because Im interested in buying one but......

Have any of you experienced the same thing in your cities?
