While most people around town have to wait until Jan. 16 to catch the 21st North American International Auto Show, the Kage peaked in this afternoon for an early look during the Press Preview. (These Kage credentials are unbelievable!)It's always a busy time of year downtown, but everybody seems particularly chirpy this time around, probably because there have been some good-news headlines lately regarding the auto industry. The fact that homeboys at Ford swept the Car and Truck of the Year awards seems to really have people giddy. The media gang was in full force earlier today; all of the local radio stations are set up in the main hallway inside Cobo. About 15 feet from where I took this picture there was a TV guy from Spain delivering a live report. My Spanish is a little rusty, but I think I heard him say, "There are a lot of cars inside. And they're all very shiny."
For more news from inside Cobo, stay tuned to the Kage, the official source for auto show updates that have little or nothing to do with engines, gears, horsepower or anything else car-related. (You can read stuff on that other crap anywhere!)
