The final decision to suspend the auto show in Detroit was made on June 24, 2018, so the last one will be in January 2019. The reason was the auto show in Los Angeles, details and what awaits Detroit.
The unexpected news of the latest auto show in Detroit has been a thrill for many car enthusiasts. For the first time in 50 years, the auto show will not only change its format and name, but will no longer be held for the January holidays in Detroit. Official information came from Detroit News. It cannot be said that the auto show will completely cease to exist, since it will be postponed to June or October, but the exact date has not yet been named.
The reason for this change in the first 50 years of the exhibition in Detroit was the CES electronics auto show in Las Vegas. More and more fans prefer this particular exhibition, as it presents the latest developments in the field of electric cars. This year was no exception: Toyota e-Palette, Byton Concept, Harman Digital and the already well-known Hyundai Nexo were presented in Las Vegas. Audi said that this year she will not take part in the Detroit auto show. Similar plans for the future were shared by Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, BMW, Volvo, Mini, Land Rover and Jaguar. The same opinion is shared by two Italian manufacturers Ferrari and Maserati. As statistics show, many brands began to organize their own events, thereby showing new products and future concepts. This not only reduced the time for the release of a new generation, but also significantly increased the statistics of visitors.
According to the general director of the Detroit auto show - Roth Alberts, it is not the first year that the change has been discussed not only of the date of the show, but also of the name of the auto show itself, since for 50 years there are many reasons for this. Most likely, this will be the main news in the automotive world, so in the near future, neither the date nor the name of the new show should be expected, it will appear spontaneously, just like the news about the termination of the auto show in Detroit.
