Too much to cover in just a paragraph or two but my overall impression is the choices we have are at an all time high. Particularly the domestics which have some real quality vehicles, maybe more so the imports. The big three's stands seemed to have more people than the imports. Of course it is in Detroit. Very interesting. The Ford Focus and Fiesta, both ST models looked great. The Subaru BRZ looked even better in person as did the Dodge Dart. Cadillac's V models looked stunning. Fiat's 500 Abarth was sharp. Side note, Fiat's stand always has the best looking models (women) of the whole show. I enjoyed the show more this year than I have the last few.

Another side note: I had wanted to check out the Nissan Cube in person as none of the dealers in the area stock them. Nissan had a big stand but guess what ? They didn't even bring one. Doesn't look like it is long for the North American market. Please no ugly remarks, I already know I am apparently the only one thatt likes them.

I thought the Cube was doing OK. Odd they didn't have one, but we bought a Soul and never cross-shopped the Cube, so perhaps others are doing the same.

If they don't make that they should all be permanently barred from working in the automotive industry. I want that in a bad way. A really, really bad way.
