The North American International Auto Show, hosted each year in Detroit, appears set to return to its former glory for 2010. Many of the automakers absent from last year will be displaying and introducing models, while fears of bankruptcy for the U.S. manufacturers have been realized and have now subsided thanks to generous government aid and the help of foreign partners, the cooperation of the unions and a lot of tough decisions.
Important debuts for the first auto show of 2010 include the Honda CR-Z hybrid sports car, a Dedicated Hybrid Concept from Toyota, the BMW Z4 sDrive35i, the MINI Moke Concept and the 2011 Ford Mustang GT.
Ok, here is the deal: I have created this new Calendar of SSR events to make it easier for people to see when/where events are taking place. This Calendar was created by me using Google Calendars, which is still in Beta testing (that means it's not completed yet). It is not part of this website per se and the old calendar will work as it always has. I just got dascrow to make a parameter change on this website that allows me to now post this. When I have time I will add all the event info/links. If there is an event that is not on this calendar, PM me with the event info...include the link to the event thread on this website too.
