The problem is... Press days are for the PRESS! Not for the competition to spy on each other. Its way out of hand these days. All you need is to come to a major auto show on a "press day".

The other problem is these "spies" will sit/stand there for HOURS taking measurements. Some stands indulge these "guys" more than others.

This year at Frankfurt, I was kind of shocked some people attending brought very small children(under five years old) with them. I saw a few people doing that. I mean what were they thinking!?


Back to Spies... my friend ChrisM135i took this picture at Detroit on Monday's press day. The guy literally would not move from the grill area...
