1/19/14 - A locally-based automotive analyst says the 2014 North American International Auto Show in the Motor City is back with an amazing feel. The show opened to the public this weekend and the next generation of transportation is the experience this year. More than 500 vehicles are on display, with more than two-dozen world debuts. This is the first appearance of the 2015 Ford Mustang and two new versions of the Corvette Stingray including a race car are expected to be big draws. Joe Rohatynski of Howell represents several automotive suppliers with operations in Michigan and also coordinates publicity for the auto show. He says the show floor is comparable to walking through a mini Times Square with new exhibits, design and architecture. An earlier deal was signed to keep the show at Cobo Center, which Rohatynski tells WHMI has undergone an expansion and gained a new addition since last year. For any Livingston County residents heading to the show, Rohatynski advises against trying to park at Cobo, saying the city is extremely short on parking around the convention center. However, he says itâs an easy trip and a short taxi ride from the Greektown or New Center area with the People Mover also running continuously. The auto show runs through January 26th and details can be found in the link below. (JM)
