    In something unrelated, can I say wow, what a beautiful building? It manages to be Art Deco and minimalist at the same time. Makes it look like Detroit is, unlike what the NY Times says, still worth saving.

    @bzr: There isn't much that a long exposure photo can't improve on! Its what isn't in the photo that you should be worried about. The area around the casino is a disaster. Still looks like the set of Robocop.

    Five seconds after I enter the Porsche display:

    "Sir, could you please leave, now, without a fuss?"

    (dejected) Okay...

    They can't even get local dealers to show up and fill their spots?

    Of course, that depends on whether or not there are such things as Detroit Aston Martin, Ferrari, Lamborghini and Rolls-Royce dealerships.

    Not exactly a new tactic. Detroit has been pretending it had automakers for years.

    @SerialThriller: I actually prefer "domestic" vehicles personally. I've got 5 GM's and a Ford and I've never had a major component failure (well I did lose a transmission in a '72 Nova back in the 80's). One is pushing 200K and one 250K miles. But I'm not impressed with their management decisions or Detroit politics.

    In reply to Detroit Auto Show: Land Rover LRX Concept
    Partially recyclable? That thing should be instantly recycled. It is both uglier and less useful than a BMW X6. Normally I'm a staunch defender of tall wagons (softroaders/SUVs) but this thing is just an absurd exercise in extreme douchery.

    When police arrived the car was gone, spotted later that night across town in immaculate condition, driving itself.

    Next you will tell us it was carrying a pregnant woman to the Hospital. But after the crash the little bugger shot out and spit fire at those trying to help.

    So I guess the Devil isn't always right on time.

    Uhm, to be honest with you guys, American auto shows usually suck and boring. Nothing new.

    @Theimbellis: Yeah, but Detroit used to be the only one that didn't. Now it's going to be no better than the Cleveland Auto Show or something, more about selling cars than selling companies or dreams.

    ...said BMW North America vice president of communications Tom Kowaleski. "We're committed to Detroit for next year. Our bags are packed, and we're ready to go."

    Huh, I didn't have ol' Tom pegged as a John Denver fan...
