Detroit Auto Show ’09 Roundup (Part 1)
Last Friday I made the short flight up to Detroit to roam the halls of the Cobo Center for the second year in a row at the NAIAS. Even though this was a public day it was still a good chance to see many of the upcoming offerings from many of the worlds best automakers. I have to say many, because once again Porsche decided not to attend this show. Unfortunately, their tendency of cutting class seems to have spread, with other brands such as Ferrari, Suzuki, and Mitsubishi (sort of) following suit to leave some empty space on the upper floor. That space was eagerly absorbed by the likes of Tesla, Fisker, BYD, and others, but the feeling wasn’t the same.
Looking through the photos that I have, there’s probably too many to cover in just one post. Therefore, I’ll make this a two parter to be continued soon. For now, hit the jump to check out some of the highlights, including a few instances of deja vu…
