For the last couple of years have Detroit has been the most exciting car show of the year, even making Geneva appear fairly tame. This year the exciting news is a new Lexus battleship, a quick Kia liftback, and the official 2018 angry Camry. Considering that CES will probably debut all the awesome concept cars is NAIAS turning into a year end review rather than a new year kick off?
Perhaps everyone is just keeping their big reveals a secret and trying to create the same type of frenzy the Ford GT received. I mean there isn’t a better time to reveal the Toyota version of the Z5upra than NAIAS alongside the two sedans that scream US Toyota-dom. Let BMW have Geneva. Shouldn’t we see a 2018 Mustang, Mach 1, and the hellcat-killer GT500 EcoBeast? ZR1, midengined ‘Vette? I thought the US automakers loved this show!
At least tell me Toyota Sequoia, Nissan Quest, 370z, and Frontier are getting new cup holders or a proper funeral...

I really don’t know or care. NAIAS is a bucket list item and if my Jeep is done in time I plan on going.

What makes a show interesting? Is it not in the hands of the attending automakers? Is it not up to them to make the auto show a priority for debuting their hottest new stuff?
Despite all the overlapping technology, cars are still cars. It’s not like smartphones, where they’re basically handheld computers that are able to act as telephones as a secondary feature. Cars are (and should be) about transportation first.
If they still want to participate in the CES, fine. But they shouldn’t neglect their true place.
