Hey,

After reading about all the world premiere reveals at this year's Detroit (NAIAS) autoshow, I will be going. Plan on going on the last weekend (Jan 24 or 25) ... the opening weekend (Jan 17-18), I have too many personal commitments.

I'm coming in from Windsor (across the river from Detroit) ... still unsure if I'm driving over or taking the bus over.

Hey Derrick. Moved this to Car Talk since, well, it's about cars... plus, there are usually discussions about this show there... so you'll likely get more traction in CT

I'm going on Saturday. Expect a long-ass thread full of pics from me Saturday night. It's going to be NSX and 3G CTS-V all day long from me. And maybe some other stuff.

This is the ONE reason I'm glad Detroit is only a two-hour drive from me.

^ Works for me. Those are two of the cars I'm most interested in as well. And since I won't be going, I'll look forward to your pics

Maybe we can turn this into the "official" 2015 Detroit Auto Show thread so we can keep everything in one place?

RPhilMan1

Or auto show thread in general? I'll be at the Chicago Auto Show on Saturday February 14th.

neuronbob

Anyone have specific requests for me to take pix of at NAIAS? I'll do the best I can to get to them. I will have my fam with me and so I can't guarantee getting to everything.

neuronbob

Here now. Pics coming later. The NSX is pure sex. Wooooooooow.

neuronbob

NSX Swag. I'll fix the pic later, bug in the mobile forum software.

Went today as well. Was a lovely show, NSX looked good. Other cars that wow'd me: Ford GT, ATS-V, CTS-V, Volvo XC90 (my god this thing is incredible, the interior fit and finish is heaven), facelifted Mazda 6. Audi Q7 looks less like a station wagon in person.

Mercedes GLE is lame. Volt/Bolt are ho-hum. I predict the Nissan Titan will be a sales flop. Indifferent towards the GS-F, front end looks funky.

Any pictures of the new MX-5?

BTW, just looking at and reading about the new production cars and concepts I gotta say, we're living in the times of automotive nirvana. Just look at the automobiles that have rolled off this line in the last 10 years. This is what the 60's must have felt like, but today I think it's even better.

neuronbob

Pictures coming hopefully today. I did get one (bad) picture of the new MX-5. Family was begging me to leave by that point so I didn't get a good pic.

Nice pics Bob. Is the ATS a shade bigger than a 3 series? Photos seem to indicate that.

NSX





















More pix coming, including of the Ford GT. Taking a dinner break first. You can go to my Google Plus photo page for other pix if you don't want to wait.

Ford GT















GT crowd was the biggest I saw at the show. This is the crowd from the ground...

...and from above, in the Ford interactive display.


OK, NOW I'm taking a break.

^Was half expecting to find myself in the background of one of your pics. The Ford GT crowd was horrendous when I was looking at it (3PM or so). Had to wait quite a while for an opening to snap some pics. The car definitely stole some thunder from the NSX. The CTS-V had a huge crowd as well.

neuronbob

More like a shade smaller. The 3-series grew a bit this generation.

Break over. More pix:

My son trying to drive the Hellcat Charger. I couldn't get a clean picture of the side because so many people were crowded around it.

Thanks Bob...Ford is killing it this year.

How did your son like the Hellcat

Thanks for sharing! I'll take the ATS-V coupe and the HondaJet.

neuronbob

Ford had the best display this year, and the best ability to keep people there. We were in the Ford display ALONE for an hour.

My son successfully found the accelerator of the Hellcat and was actively trying to shift when I finally had to drag him out of the car for the *long* line of others.

Dodge/SRT will sell every Hellcat they can build. You heard it here first.

If they make a Hellcat JGC, there is a very good chance that it will be my next car. Not joking.

The new Raptor looks way better in these photos than in the car news thread...still out to lunch on it though.

Great pics Bob! Couple of things: That is actually the GT350R you photographed and you have two i8 photos instead of the M235i. I figured you put so much effort into posting your want to fix them. Thanks for sharing!

Awesome pics... thanks for sharing Bob!

Wow, Cadillac sure is stepping up their game.

Awesome photos! Thank you.

I can't wait to go to the Chicago Auto Show.

neuronbob

Fixed. Thank you!

Those new Caddy's are hot. I just wish they kept the CTS-V wagon as an option...

Love that Cayman GTS. Thanks for the pics.

Great pics, thanks for posting

mrmako

Thanks for sharing Bob. Now about that Hellcat.....I still can't get over Dodge selling a 700+HP car, Cadillac looking great, and Ford putting out better products. Hmm, maybe American is the way to go?

^ I can't get my mind off the new Vette. Almost want to trade the Porsche in for one ...

Funny how the times have changed. The big three are kicking ass right now.

Thanks for posting the pics, neuronbob ... now I'm really excited about this weekend ...

I'll probably be going Saturday afternoon ... that might cost me ...

M.I.N.O.

Great pics! Thanks for posting! Never been a huge fan of Cadillac, but the ATS-V and CTS-V are gorgeous!
