The Show Season Has Begun!
The show season is upon us and the Tuner Tour is on the road! The kickoff happened at San Mateo HIN this past weekend. After a two-year hiatus from the season opening Hot Import Nights show in San Mateo CA, the GM Tuner Tour has returned. Kicking off the 2008 season, the GM Tuner Tour rolled into San Mateo with engaging new displays and the undeniable presence of the all-new GM VIP Studio and hot new feature vehicles.
Our placement was awesome as we were in the front row near the main entrance. We were also surrounded by what were clearly the event’ s hottest show cars. Foot traffic was very heavy throughout the night. Crowds of people gathered around the new GM VIP Studio to catch a glimpse of Jason Whitfield’s Cobalt and our GMTunerSource.com models. The throngs of gathering onlookers were prompted by the GM Tuner Tour Staff to come in to the studio and have their picture taken with the 900hp Cobalt and models. We where overwhelmed with the amount of traffic in the new GM Tuner Tour display. The show was a HUGE success for us!
The VIP Studio, new for 2008, is now incorporated into the display, and we added a GM Tuner Tour roof sign that is visible from everywhere on the show floor by standing almost 20 feet tall and being flooded with light. By far, the Pontiac Solstice SD-290 garnered the most attention of all of our display vehicles from the Northern California crowds. The single-seater Solstice regularly had dozens of consumers surrounding the vehicle with their cameras flashing. At times the crowds around the SD-290 Solstice spilled out of the display and into the aisles as the show attendees awaited their turn to snap a picture of this former SEMA vehicle.
Jason Whitfield’s ECOtec powered Chevy Aveo also grabbed the attention of the most technically savvy consumers. Jason’s Aveo had not yet been shown in this market, and we received more technical questions about the LSJ swap on this vehicle than for any other feature vehicle.
