The largest American auto show, as well as a major industry exhibition in the world-the Detroit Motor Show, is going in terms of what we might call a car "restyling." Almost mortally wounded many absences from the 2009 edition, in 2010 NAIAS aired at a reduced size, and only this year returned to levels truly international.
However nothing is done for a long time to bring home the importance of the show host, and of course the arrival of the dark years of the crisis has sent the car's speech. Now the time seems ripe for a revival: in 2014 is finally ready for the upgrade of Cobo Center. Work will begin later this year, and the 2015 edition of the show would eventually be completed.
Today, and we can testify after having visited it for the first time this year, the building conveys a sense of abandonment that seems to remember the nearly lethal risk that the city has faced in very recent times. Salt abandoned, dilapidated ceilings, elevators that do not work, depressing hallways.
It is not just a few thousand journalists to see this sad spectacle: it is mainly the hundreds of thousands of viewers to have to suffer.
