Has
Porsche's declined invitation spurred the lodge members behind the
Detroit Auto Show to showcase their appeal to luxury brands? So that might not be the reason, but the
NAIAS brain trust has put together a private soiree that will highlight the other exclusive marques, like
Bentley,
Ferrari, and
Maybach.
NAIAS Senior Co-Chairman Carl Galeana said, "This unique event was designed for those individuals who favor high-end, luxury vehicles and wish to have a special preview of the elite vehicles on display." That isn't exactly true, because we favor high-end, luxury vehicles and we didn't get an invite. Which means this event is strictly for those that have a different working definition of "liquid" than we do.
So far, 200 plutocrats and Big Bank Hanks have been offered access to The Gallery. To also feature music and gourmet food, as well as the opportunity to meet company executives and designers, the invite-only event takes place the evening of Jan. 13 on the show floor.
