NAIAS dropouts!

Ouch! This is bad news... hopefully for this year only.

The future is looking bleak for the North American International Auto Show, with automakers dropping out like hippies. Nissan and Infiniti were just two among the hoards of car manufacturers – including Mitsubishi, Suzuki, Rolls-Royce, Land Rover and Ferrari as well as Porsche – that have recently announced their withdrawal from the Detroit show. But that's not stopping the show coordinators from continuing their campaign to have Motown's convention center updated as they see the show making a comeback within a few years.

looks like Ford will have the show to themselves with Honda and Toyota after GM and Chrysler go bankrupt by then.

^ Don't count on it... I have a feeling GM will be there. They will just roll the cars in on the carpet and that will be the show.
