Point of View – 2007 Detroit Auto Show: For three days in January, Detroit is the heartbeat of the automotive world. Of course, it used to be that way all year, but that’s another story. For now, it’s about the 2007 North American International Auto Show, the biggest, greatest and most marvelous of all shows anywhere, a most superexcellent show – or at least that’s how the Changfeng Motors English copywriter would describe it. We, uh, took a different tack. On the following pages, we share our personal point of view about the show, what happened and why we care. Or don’t. There’s Blackett on the jaded nature of journalists, Buglewicz writes about springtime at General Motors, Perry waxes poetic about the Holden Efijy, Chee prattles on about China’s presence at the show and Wardlaw takes the North American Car and Truck of the Year Jury to task. But heck – check it out for yourself.
