Over 20,000 guests visited the annual Hampton Roads International Auto Show January 13-15. The show hosted by the Hampton Roads Automobile Dealers Association is one of the Convention Center’s largest consumer shows. In case you were wondering, the most expensive car on the floor was a Mercedes Maybach S600. At $205,525 it comes with a refrigerator rear center console, a $4,950 Magic Sky Control (whatever that is), rear reclining seats with elevated foot rests, airplane style pull out trays for rear passengers, and countless other features found in any good European luxury limousine. The second most expensive car was a more hip Porsche Panamera Turbo with 550 hp and a zero to 60 mph time of 3.4 seconds. This four door luxury sedan even has a Night Vision Assist package worth $2,540. At $185,895 this one screams don’t quit your day job.
Let’s be realistic though. You can buy 12 Chevy Sparks at a delivered price of $16,900, the lowest priced car in the show, for the price of the Mercedes.
We’re looking forward to some larger road vehicles this week with the Annual Recreational Vehicle returns January 20-22.
