2009 North American International Auto Show
The NAIAS is just as often called the Detroit Auto Show, and with good reason: it is the showcase for the Big 3, even in their weakened state. If it's a splashy introduction, Detroit is the place for it, even for the Germans and Japanese. Detroit isn't the biggest market for import manufacturers, but it attracts the most diverse mix of journalists of any American auto show. Ironically, the NAIAS is more of a massive media event than an auto show for the typical family.

Auto shows lie at the intersection of car shopping, enthusiasm and entertainment. New car shows provide a rare opportunity to see the latest new offerings and concept cars without the pressure of the sales experience. The controlled environments allow the automakers to display their vehicle in the best possible light. Often, the auto show itself transcends the vehicles, offering showgoers celebrity appearances, activities, and trinkets. By contrast, classic car shows and meets allow current owners and fans to appreciate and celebrate historic, popular and unusual cars.
At Velocity, we cover the most important auto shows, new and old. We track the introduction of new vehicles, and capture a photographic record of the most significant vehicles displayed.
