NAIAS - The Greatest (Automotive) Show On Earth
Tuesday, November 13th, 2007
Greetings fellow autofolk, and welcome to Motor Musings, where there’s always time to stop and smell the exhaust.
In much the same way that it’s never too early to start advertising Christmas specials (and it gets earlier every year), it’s also never too early to start getting excited about the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS), in Detroit.
The NAIAS is quite possibly the biggest spectacle in the automotive world, and it’s open to the public. That’s right, YOU can attend this breathtaking event. In addition to the booths set up by just about every major automaker (as well as some new entrants from China), there are also a ton of special events taking place. Some of these events are the 2008 North American Car and Truck of the Year Award and the Automotive Education Day. This event gives high school students the chance to learn more about the automotive industry (and possibly plant the seeds for some more autohounds).
If you are unable to attend, fret not! NBC Sports will be presenting an hour long International Auto Show special to air Sunday, January 20, 2008 at 3:00 pm EST.
The show is open to the public from Saturday, January 19 through Sunday, January 28, 2008. There’s a press preview scheduled from January 13-15, 2008.
To summarize:
- Christmas is good
- Black Friday is bad
- NAIAS is awesome
- NBC will cover it
- I want to go (that’s not actually written above, but I was thinking it.)
Any questions? We’re here for you. Let us know what you think in the comments.
