The 2010 Chicago Auto Show took place this past week at McCormick Place.  Since the event is literally a few blocks from my place near Soldier Field, I thought I'd check it out and hopefully get some design inspirations from the concept cars.  Unfortunately, I thought the show was a bust!  There were little-to-none concept cars, so the place felt like one giant auto dealer showroom with every car company housed under one roof.  Volkswagen had nothing new to show, so there was no "new" New Beetles to be found.  I did enjoy BMW's showings though.  They had the 135i and it looks so spiffy - not too small or too large and not too sporty or too conservative compared to the other BMW models.  The "I Love What You Do for Me" Toyota Company had the FT-CH model, which was the only concept that caught my eye.  It's pretty nice and will surely satisfy all the small car lovers out there.  That's all for this year's Chicago Auto Show.
