The MotoringFile team will be at the nation’s largest autoshow today in Chicago. It may not have the debuts of LA or Detroit but neither of them come close to the scale the Windy City’s show. For fans of the Roundel, the BMW Alpina B7 will be making its North American debut today and we’ll get some insight into the car the engineers who designed it. But the MINI? Well there isn’t anything scheduled so we’ll be focusing on the competition. Look for the entire gallery later tonight.
<p>Why does MINI do this to us here in Chicago???? For BMW and especially the M brand, Chicago is a huge market so we normally get some of the good cars and debuts. But MINI, noooooooooo</p>
<p>The Chicago Show is Bigger than Detroit and is not so kiss butt to the idiots that nearly bankrupted the world economy. GM and Chrysler. Quite Frankly I wish that nature would have taken its course and made those dinasaurs extinct! FORD is the only american car company that did not nead a bail out. If I were to consider an american car.. I would only choose a FORD!</p>
<p>OK so nothing new at Chicago…</p>
<p>The twins aren’t new… Will they be there at Chicago?
I may have to go!</p>
<p>Yes , newer B7, maybe B3, or B5 in future.
I did not go because no twins.</p>
<p>You can still see pics from Detroit , I added more.</p>
