Hanging MINI @ 2006 NAIAS

Caught this in the Wed. December 14th 2005 Detroit News. Couldn't find a pic online, so I scanned it.



It's like Christmas TWICE.

Do you go all the way to Detroit for the Auto show, or does NY have one (just a bit unconnected with events outside Michigan)?

Oh, I just noticed it said "North American" .. Well, New York does have one too. It's not as great as Detroit's but definately worth a look if your nearby. I would love to go to Detriot for the auto show sometime though...

The Cobo in Detroit, is the worst location to hold the NAIAS. It's limited to space.. Chicago is actually better square footage wise. A lot more concepts are being unveiled in Chicago as well as LA and NYC. Philly has more traffic through their show than anyone else. The NAIAS is not the show it used to be until they relocate to another facility it will not be # one in my eye's
