Its The Last Weekend to Visit the Minneapolis Auto Show

Earlier this week, Poquet management visited the 43rd Annual Minneapolis Auto Show, at the Minneapolis Convention Center, to check out the vehicles they will be selling next year. To say the least, they are excited for what will (literally) be in store in 2017.

During the trip, Dave and Anne decided to stop by Camp Jeep, a 4-wheel drive experience that takes you on a Trail Rated off-road course right inside the Auto Show’s main hall! Check out their video from the course!

Additional Minneapolis Auto Show Highlights:

  1. The New Porsche 911 Targa is amazing!
  2. You can push the sticker price of a Chevy Spark to almost $20,000!
  3. This year, the auto show introduced:
    1. The Electric Room, a whole room devoted to all electric vehicles
    2. The Classic Car Walk, a trip down memory lane on the second floor featuring some of the classic cars you know and love.
  4. Friday the 18th is Downtown Day where you and your fellow co-workers will have the opportunity to receive discounted admission between 10am and 10pm.
  5. On Saturday the 19th, Timberwolves star point guard Ricky Rubio will be at the latest Lexus model to take pictures and sign autographs from 3:30 pm to 5 pm.
