Detroit auto show
Nothing tilts the market in the consumer?s favor like a little competition! We?re connected to a nationwide network of dealerships that are hungry for business. When dealers are forced to compete with other dealers, one can be rest assured that the quote one receives will be competitive. Request multiple new car quotes to put one in an advantageous position over the dealership.
Contrary to popular belief, there is little if any advantage in waiting until the absolute last day of the month to go car shopping. Dealers are on the lookout for the best deals no matter what day of the month. Furthermore, this assumption is so widespread that one just ends up competing for salesmen?s attention with the flocks of shoppers hoping for the same edge.
Detroit is the largest city in the U.S. state of Michigan and the seat of Wayne County. Detroit is a major port city located north of Windsor, Ontario, on the Detroit River, in the Midwest region of the United States. It is known as the world\\'s traditional automotive center.
The North American International Auto Show (previously called the Detroit Auto Show and often abbreviated NAIAS) is an annual automobile show (or auto show) that occurs every year in Detroit, Michigan.
The first auto show occurred in Detroit in 1907 at Beller's Beer Garden at Riverside Park and was held there every year except 1943-1952. It was renamed the North American International Auto Show in 1989. Since 1961, it has been held at Cobo Center where it occupies 1 million square feet (93,000 m ) of floor space. The show is particularly important because the Metro Detroit area is the location of the headquarters of the Big Three American automakers, Chrysler, Ford, and General Motors.
The NAIAS was long the only auto show in the United States sanctioned by the Organisation Internationale des Constructeurs d'Automobiles, however since 2006 the Greater Los Angeles Auto Show was recognized and, starting in 2007, the Chicago Auto Show will be as well.
The 2006 show was held from January 8 through January 22.

The technical challenge presented by a hybrid sports car isn't small. Lithium-ion batteries are about half the weight of nickel-metal-hydride cells, but they are extremely sensitive to temperature and burst into flames when overheated. In addition, lithium-ion batteries don't like to be recharged quickly.
Yet efficiency is a cool thing in our culture these days. It's even about to become cooler, because the power structure in Formula 1 is talking about regenerative braking for the racing cars by the 2009 season and the reuse of waste engine heat by 2010. Since Toyota's F1 team will be on the leading edge of this development, the technology should find its way into its street cars like the HSC.
There's a lot about the look of the Toyota FT-HS Hybrid Sports Concept that might seem awfully speculative to the crowd at the 2007 Detroit Auto Show, but it's probably a mistake to dismiss it. Inside this computer-generated image is a dream of a Toyota Supra for the future.
The Detroit auto show is a huge theater, a Las Vegas-like stage where carmakers do their best to thrill and amaze a world audience. Toyota will step up this year and present its FT-HS Hybrid Sports Concept, a futuristic sports car that would be powered by a 400-horsepower hybrid power train.
Of course, the Toyota FT-HS Hybrid Sports Concept is just a concept, little more than a container for the overheated dreams of a bunch of designers at Calty Design Research, Toyota's design studio in Newport Beach, California.
Some of the concept car model were:
Suzuki Flix.
Kia Kue
Chrysler Nassau
Mitsubishi Prototype X
Mazda Ryuga
Mercedes-Benz's Ocean Drive.
Ford Interceptor.
Saab BioPower Hybrid
Chevrolet Camaro Convertible
