Each year, the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS), puts the spotlight on Detroit, Mich., and the best that the world’s automakers can muster.

Lately there has been less glitzy razzle-dazzle than in previous years, but in each manufacturer’s display areas there was plenty of booming music and flashy light shows to capture the undivided attention of press and public alike as the new models were dramatically revealed.

Description

The entire initiative seems counterintuitive and a bit contradictory, at least on the surface. In the name of noise-pollution control, automakers have spent decades trying to reduce sound emissions in their machines.

Description

The 2014 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit, Mich., won’t likely have the punch of the 2013 event.

Why? The Corvette was a huge draw a year ago. And with the international debut of the 2015 Ford Mustang already having taken place in December, this year’s NAIAS will launch Jan. 18 to the general public without the draw of a clear headline act.

As smartphones and in-car touchscreen music systems move from the exception to the rule, the technology tsunami threatens what was once a pretty standard practise: getting rid of the factory stereo for something much better/cooler from the local electronics emporium.

Description

It’s the tip of a gleaming spear. Make that a carbon-fiber, stainless-steel and triple-chrome-plated spear. And since we’re in Las Vegas, you can add a couple million blinking bulbs.
The “spear” is the Specialty Equipment Market Association show – the infamous SEMA show – where you can get a first glimpse at all the hot new aftermarket parts and accessories, the latest show cars, and, most importantly, the newest vehicle trends.
