ODoyle Posted March 13, 2018 Report Share Posted March 13, 2018 I'll have to keep my eye out for it. Is he going to be in the vw section or is he repping his own shop/booth? I guess its with a bunch of Other VW's that are going to be there. A club or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mojoe Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 Is anyone from the North East side of Columbus going to the Auto show? I'm in the market for a new Subaru for my wife, and they have $500 coupons at the Byers Subaru booth. Anyone willing to grab me one and meet up later? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99StockGT Posted March 19, 2018 Report Share Posted March 19, 2018 Pretty solid turn out from the G/Z/GTR folk as usual, easily one of the most active and involved car clubs in the area. Also the Carlyle boys were out in FORCE all weekend, hopefully pick up some new paying customers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Beard Posted March 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2018 ^^^ Agreed. There were a lot more personal cars there this year than what there have been in the past. Between the G/Z/GTR guys, Carlyle, The Gremlin group in the front hall and all the classics it was a cool turn out. I will be posting photo's of what I took soon as well.

Speaking of the Gremmies...I totally forgot that Eagle made a Spirit sedan that used the Gremlin hatchback body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99StockGT Posted March 23, 2018 Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 They are trying to make this event more community focused as it looses more and more popularity, you'll see more car clubs and businesses involved over the next years. The auto shows just don't draw the crowds they used to and Columbus is a SMALL one compared to most of the big stops. I WILL say this is the first year I've actually done some shopping at the Columbus Auto Show, took the little lady on Sunday and had her sit in various cars to see what fit her best and seemed like something she would want. Interestingly the Dodge Charger which was easily in the lead... didn't fit her well at all, and has an extremely underwhelming interior. Sitting in the 300C it's incredible the difference in comfort / attention to interiors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sitting in the 300C it's incredible the difference in comfort / attention to interiors I took my wife with me Sunday to do the same thing. She wanted something with more power than her civic, awd, nav, and in pearl white. Surprisingly she was all about the Kia Stinger lol. She really liked the interior and all the options it came with. Fit her well, and needless to say I wasn't complaining about the performance aspect of her having it. I would most likely be the one driving when we are out and about anyway lol.

Both Kat and I LOVE the Stinger, it's a comfortable car great styling the interior is excellent BUT... paying $50,000+ for a Kia is something that's reallllly hard to stomach. I know it's judging by a badge but.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

99StockGT Posted March 23, 2018 Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 If by base model you mean RWD twin turbo V6... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Beard Posted March 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 If by base model you mean RWD twin turbo V6... lol well...... then base would start somewhere around $39k. Personally its the V6-TT or bust IF it where my daily. But even in the 2.0L turdo it would still be a decent car for her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
