Crap, I never read this forum. Probably better suited to the Ontario forum.

I'd like to go to the Detroit show, but can't today... let me know if you went or not.

Okay, very late, but here are my shots...

Hehehehe...

This was Audi's booth.

It had a cool sleek feel to it.

So much bling everywere!

Nissan I think had the coolest looking booth, with this giant cylindrical LED wall in the ceiling surrounding the whole thing.

Lots of this kind of stuff...

...bragging about this kind of stuff. Wow, a whole 18 MPG! I'll buy two!

Chrysler "Imperial"... I dunno what it is, but it looks huge and expensive....

Cute lil' Scion tC!

Ahh... Scion...

One day I could totally see myself buying an xA (if I can't get a forfour).

Toyota pimps it up with a cool sleek exhibit featuring hybrids at centre stage. Good for you Toyota!

Big news for the US: Yaris comes!

Camry Hybrid...

The Fine-T concept car.

Another shot of the Toyota booth...

This is from Subaru. Lil' electric jobbie. I think it's ugly as sin though...

Some fast cars at Subaru...

Jeep had their cool programmable water wall back this year...

Cool Honda booth! It had a funky fresh feel with all these huge light towers that would change graphics and stuff in synch.

The big light towers... pretty freeky!

The Fit comes to the USA! Hopefully, to Canada, too.

About time Honda had a nice affordable entry level vehicle.

Ugh, big american booths. Power power power power power power power.

Obviously you can see where the popularity is in terms of what size of vehicles people want to be driving...

Volvo's booth was sick, lots of hardwood and all the peeps dressed in turqoise!

um, it's gettin' kinda crowded up in hurr!

Some GM stuff

Lights and things everywhere.

Aww... Nosedive's all' scared by the big bullies! Time to go back to Canadia.

[MikeT 744]

No smarts....they had a few last year and chickened out this year.

[Duck 16]

Yeah.. not even a hint or anything. There was a big sign that showed the... I think it was Daimler-Benz family of companies, including all the subsiduaries... no mension of smart at all!My dad was joking that I should ask them if they wanted me to pull my car in and have it sit somewhere in their booth...lol!-Iain
