As a former Buffalonian now living in San Diego, no one knows the misery of January weather in the eastern region of the United States better than I.
And for next week's Detroit Auto Show it looks like it will be same as it ever was.
Long term weather forecast for Detroit Metro:
Now I know I've been talking about this for years on Auto Spies but with the acceleration of the technology convergence in cars at the Consumer Electronics show (CES) in Las Vegas, wouldn't it make more sense to create the 'Super Bowl' of auto shows and have it start the day after CES?
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying DUMP the Detroit Auto Show.
Just move the date of the show to May or late August and use this 'Super Bowl' of shows to launch the major new concepts and models.
The venue is better, the weather is better, it's more convenient and it's a perfect compliment to CES.
Plus, it would get WAY more exposure.
So that said, do you agree with us and if this WERE to happen WHAT would it be called? SuperShow?
