Detroit Auto Show: We came, we saw, we covered
Our boys are on their way back to their respective homes, while those of us running the war room are in the process of decompressing.
We couldn't be happier with our coverage this year and judging by the response we've received, the feeling's mutual.
We'll be back on point tomorrow, obsessively covering the rest of the automotive world, but in the meantime, we wanted to provide you one more opportunity to check out all that was revealed in Detroit.
After the jump, you'll find every debut, along with their corresponding galleries and any other information we deemed important, all organized by manufacturer.
Thanks for your time and, as always, watch this space.

Awesome job Autoblog... you guys were really on top of things. Kudos.

I agree, great coverage! NAIAS seemed different this year though, probably because of all the embargo issues which left hardly anything to be unveiled. Oh well, atleast Ford kept the Focus and 500 for NAIAS and the Cadillac CTS looks to be a winner. Bring on the next show!

Very Nice Job Autoblog, you were my GO-TO source for all things auto-show related this year for me.

Best coverage on the web award definitely goes to Autoblog. Many thanks,

Press day is always fun. A bit more hectic and crowded than the relatively subdued LA show. The Autoblog folks were right next to us in the Media Room. Hmmm... I wonder if they were in the firehouse.

Great coverage - 1 question, what happened to the Hummer H4? Was looking forward to seeing it.
Reply
Ted 12:44AM (1/10/2007)
The only issue with the large crowds was that it forced many to go after tight shots and heavy cropping. The funny thing was it forced one to really look at the curves of the vehicles.

Where are the Toyota FT-HS pictures from the show? All of your coverage and pictures are from the pre show press release and are just the computer generated images Toyota gave you.

Nick 2:51AM (1/10/2007)
I see you have visited the show. Could you answer a couple of questions?!
1. I know Ford has just built the huge Ford Transit XXL. Have they showed it in Detroit?!
2. Honda Accord Coupe has been unveiled as a concept or as a preserial version?! I myself don't believe it is preserial, but unfortunately wasn't able to find any info!
3.Could you tell me your personal impression of the new Bentley?! I'm in two minds about this car...to my mind something is not right with...but I can't figure out what it is exactly!
thank you!

Great Job y'all.
You're definitely the first and best place to go for the latest auto industry news. Heck, I have to check out your site before I go and read the Times.
Keep up the good work!

Autoblog is the shiznit! They got the major automags beat, and most of the mainstream media beat also. I am tho looking forward to seeing some coverage on TV.
I can never get enough of the little people talking about the newest SUV.. when in fact its a body on frame and or a Front wheel drive truck platform, and or a crossover (that is really a jacked up wagon).
The details are right on the button when found on autoblog. Thecarconnection.com and autoextremist.com are right next to autoblog when it comes to NAIAS. But autoblog blows them both away with the sheer amount of day to day auto coverage. And for that.. Id buy ya a beer.

I agree, great coverage! Did I miss the "Booth girls of the NAIAS" post? :D

Todd -- The live pics of the FT-HS will be up later today. Sorry for the delay.
Accordsforall -- A few of us we'll take you up on that. :)

Well done on a well written and photographed Detroit Motorshow Blog. I'm based in the UK and it's interesting to see what crazy cars are coming out for the US market, that we'll never see! Also good to see the new Jag has been well received... keep up the good work!

Hmmmm
DAMON the autoblog site..is my crack addict. I love AUTOBLOG. The pics, the sheer amount of auto-paraphanelia (f'ed up spelling) is mind boggling. Who needs porn.. when I can get daily automotive updates. (Isnt there always a catch?!) And for that.. Id by everyone who made a positive comment towards Honda Motor Company a 12pack of the finest beer. *Laughs*
That offer is always good, the site is always perfect (even tho are always little foibles).. and Im always happy.
I love autoblog.. only other sites that compete are autoextremist.com and thecarconnection.
But oh god the pics on autoblog.. *drools*.

Id also like to say.. its the cars for EUROPE that we never get to see here.. that I'm most in love with.
Most of the doo-doo shown in US shows.. get trumped hy the stuff at Geneva and or Paris.
*Drools*.. Id love the Accord TYPE R ESTATE AND OR WAGON/ and the Civic TYPE R hatch and 5 door from UK.. among others.
Ya Lucky bas*ards
