Thanks for keeping us on our toes, Detroit Auto Show [w/poll]
Wed, Jan 14 2015
It's made our jobs a lot more exciting and challenging this week, and even though it's actually more work to react and run-and-gun when the sheet is pulled on a surprise reveal than it is to publish an already-written embargoed story, we've had more fun covering this show for you than any domestic show in memory. We hope you've enjoyed the surprises along with us.
To that end, borrowing the words of an unnamed automaker PR flack, we'd like to thank the following automakers for enduring "mountain of antacids" and that "creeping sense of paranoia" necessary to keeping ones' wares totally under wraps until the sheets are pulled off the sheetmetal:
- Buick Avenir concept
- Chevrolet Bolt concept
- Ford GT concept
- Ford Mustang Shelby GT350R
- Ford F-150 SVT Raptor
- Hyundai HCD-15 Santa Cruz concept
And while we're at it, we'd like to throw in an shout-out to Detroit's substantially revised and revitalized Cobo Center, and in particular, the redone Michelin media center, which is arguably the single best accommodations for writing show stories that we've encountered on the entire international circuit.
Well done, everyone. Thank you, and keep the surprises coming.
