North American International Auto Show Shifting Dates To Avoid Brutal Winter

The North American International Auto Show been a January tradition for decades but, in the face of declining participation, the event is changing dates.

An official announcement is scheduled for July 24th but the Detroit News is reporting the Detroit Auto Dealers Association has decided to move the event to either June or October. The change will take place in 2020 and the DADA released a promotional video showing what fans can expect.

With manufacturers debuting vehicles one their own terms, car shows are less and less a valid marketing tool for them to use.

October is indeed better. United we stand, divided we fall.

Ok now that they changed the date maybe they can address the real problem, IT’S IN DETROIT! Most people would rather go to Gitmo than Detroit.

Indeed. Given the crime rate of Detroit and the sheer ugliness of the city in general, I can't imagine anyone looking forward to going there ever.

You haven't been to Detroit lately, have you? It's a changing city.

This is Liberal bullspit: "You haven't been to Detroit lately, have you? It's a changing city." Crime is still rampant in Detroit. And yes. It's a "changing" city. It's changing into a 3rd world city.

Yes I have, let’s just say if Trump had said “immigrants from Detroit like counties” instead of “shithole countries” the meaning would have been the same.
