I'd really like to know. Any guesses, because I see nothing unexpected from an enthusiast's point of view.

The big surprise is that there is no surprise.

I assume you mean Detroit. if we hadn't seen those last minute Autoweek photos of the SS, that would've been the big surprise for sure. I think it still is the intended big surprise for the vast majority of people who have never seen it or heard of it. I think the SS, along with the G6, will be major attention grabbers.

The big surprise in L.A. was the GTO of course. Everyone on this messageboard is in the minority, being that we knew about it ahead of time. Again, the vast majority of people out there didn't know a darn thing till Jan 3 2003.

Well, the freshened and supercharged Impala and Monte Carlo SS's will debut in Chicago, not that it's all that exciting still being FWD and all...

There is probably nothing. Nothing we are really interested in anyway.

It's GM, come on Mark you should know better.

The line up for Ford's look good, even though I'm not a Ford fan I have to support them now.

guionM - Maybe you can answer my question I posted a little ways up??

Hmmm....Im really beginning to think that Chicago will have more than just a blown Impala SS and Monte SS. Maybe there is hope....
