Despite recently aggressive posturing from the LA and New York Auto Shows, everybody knows the Detroit Auto Show is still the big kahuna in the North America, even Kiwis. New Zealand based Motoring.co.nz lays out some of the statistics of on of the Motor City's greatest assets in a recent article. Statistics like "enough carpet is laid in the Cobo convention centre to blanket 750 football fields and the exhibits alone will be worth $200-million". That's right! When it comes to carpet, we can lay it down like the best of em. We can't wait to trample all over that perpetually bumpy and treacherous statistic starting on Sunday and you can follow along easily with the RSS feed. If we trip, you'll know about it.
