Memos from Motown – 2009 Detroit Auto Show

2009 Detroit Auto Show


Sunday, January 11th , 2009- It is that time of the year again; the beginning of the Auto Show Season when everyone who’s anyone converges on downtown Detroit, MI for the North American International Auto Show. The show officially opens in a few hours and I’ll be reporting from the show floor and posting to this blog when time permits. As usual, I’ll choose a Top 10 from the show and post it next week.
If you are a tech geek, you can follow me on Twitter and if I can figure it out before the end of the show, I’ll have my Twitter feed directly into this posting.
I’m off to a GM diversity breakfast and then on to Cobo Hall for the first press conference at 10 A.M.
If you want to watch it live, you can do so below. If you are reading this after 10 A.M. EST on 1/11/2008, then there should be a video below of the GM reveal. Check back here periodically for updates.


Tuesday, January 13, 2008 – Ok, I’m not sure if it is age or simply the fact that I rarely had a minute to myself but I clearly did not update this entry as I had planned. If you signed up to follow me on Twitter, you got a running commentary but the plan to embed those tweets never came to fruition. I’ll have a Top 10 Vehicles list from the show in a day or two. In the meantime, enjoy the few photos I was able to snap during the show. Anyone want to be my assistant next year? I certainly need one!

I am a big fan of the saying “better late than never”. I finally figured out how to embed my Twitter updates from the auto show into this entry. See below:
