Why?

LA, and arguably NYC, is more important than NAIAS for Porsche.

Plus, who really wants to go to Detroit in January.

I'd happily go to Detroit for Buddy's. But not in any month that ends in an "r" or "y".

It seems Detroit is more focused on boring cars...

Fiat Chrysler is skipping NAIAS entirely to debut their new offering(s) at CES in Vegas.

Times are a changing.

Be nice Detroit is coming back big time and doing great. The Detroit auto show is one of the best in the world. An unpaid public service announcement by someone that is a native Detroiter (suburbs).

Buddy's owner also drives a Porsche! Good reason to visit.

That can't be the entire show, can it?

I was planning to go to NAIAS this year. However nothing to miss out on since I don't think Porsche has anything I haven't already seen (except for the Misson-E concept).

I am looking forward to seeing:
- Mercedes-AMG W213 E63
- BMW G30 M550i
- The new Michelin PS4S tires

The one absence I am disappointed about is Tesla. I really did want to see the Tesla Model 3.

Why is Pixar on the map? Is Disney/Pixar showcasing movies (or with VR)
