I might go, too (that is if I get free tickets). :D

The new Yaris was at the Chicago auto show, so hopefully it'll be at the Milwaukee show.

Hey, I'm Sarah, the new Scion Champion here at Andrew Scion! I just talked to the Toyota district manager for Milwaukee, and he said there will be a 2007 Yaris, 2007 FJ Cruiser and 2007 Camry at the Milwaukee Auto Show! Please let me know if you have any other questions about the Scions or the other Toyota models!

Went to the show today.....kinda small, some cool cars(New Civic SI ), no green xB It wasn't crowded so you could actually sit in the cars and not have too wait for kids to get out of the way

Oh yeah, Scion owners get Black and Grey reversable beanies at the Scion booth...

..... After sitting in the Civic, I really liked it. Personally, I would rather have the new SI than the tC....

Yeah, they had the 2 door hatch and the 4 door, I didn't care for them. The hatch is uglier than a Chevy Aveo

I think you could sit in the 4 door but not the Hatch...

I don't recall seeing a Fit. The show was almost exactly the same as it was the last time I went two years ago. I'm not too impressed with the Milwaukee Auto Show anymore, so next year I think I'll skip it and hit up Chicago/Detroit instead.
