2011 North American International Auto Show

[MOstang]

I had an opportunity to attend the 2011 NAIAS Industry Preview day on Thursday here in Detroit. Ford continues to outshine the other participating companies in many different ways. A good mood this year and elevated over the past several years. One could observe that GM and Chrysler once again invested into their displays. A few manufacturers returned this year (including Porsche) after not attending the past couple years. Still no Nissan, though, even with a large R&D presence in the Detroit area.

Several of the new Boss 302's were there including the racing version (Laguna Seca) up on a stage with a dyno. I had a chance to film a few differen't pulls and will soon post that video so you can listen to it run. That was fun to watch and hopefully I'll get a chance to drive one of them sometime in the near future. The new Ford police vehicles were there too.

The public event began today. Took a few pics and they can be found in my Fotki album following the link below.
