Autoblog Obsessively Covered Day One of the 2013 Chicago Auto Show

On one hand, McCormick Place offers the most expansive show floor, meaning that, technically, it's the largest; but in terms of the amount of actual news and vehicle debuts, Chicago is by far the smallest show. Ironic, don'tcha think?

Nevertheless, we're having a good time here in the Windy City at the show's 105th installment(!), and while there wasn't a great deal to ooh and aah over on Day One, there's still a lot to talk about at the Chicago Auto Show.
