Lincoln NAIAS Display: Creepy Whispering Is Creepy
For those of you who are unfamiliar with Lincoln these days (and I don’t blame you if you are), the luxury automaker is attempting to rebrand itself, using art and creativity to breathe life into the seemingly ancient brand. The Lincoln NAIAS display, however, might have taken this a little too far. Check out my […]
NAIAS Luxury Car Seats: My Definitive Ranking of Places You Put Your Butt
While checking out all the action at NAIAS, it occurred to me that on an editor’s salary, I’d probably never afford a Benz or Bentley of my own. In fact, this trip was full of a lot of firsts for me, as I had never sat in a majority of the luxury (and other awesome) […]
Ford NAIAS Display: Wait, This Is, Like, Half the Building
Ford’s display at NAIAS was most definitely the largest, and noticeably so. Just the sight of it was overwhelming, especially after we’d already spent four hours on our feet with heavy equipment on our backs in the unreasonably hot showrooms. (For real, my pits were like the Everglades.) We started by checking out the Ford […]
Kia NAIAS Display: The One with the Creepy Old Man and the Hamster
The first part of Kia’s display visible to us was the luxury section. Kia is attempting to enter the luxury market within the next few years, and much to cynical Tim’s surprise, the luxury rebranding is actually going quite nicely.

Audi NAIAS Display: Our First Stop
When we first stepped inside NAIAS, I felt like I was getting off the subway for the first time in Manhattan. I’m sure Lewis and Clark felt similarly on their trip to the Pacific, although I am not quite certain how they made it sans smartphone. There was so much going on: cars and flashing […]
My First Experience at NAIAS
I was sitting at my desk finishing up a history page for the Ford Fusion when my boss nonchalantly asked me if I felt like road tripping it to Detroit this week for NAIAS. If it hadn’t been over instant messenger, I might have tackled her with a bear hug. (Did she seriously think “No” […]
Cadillac and Uber Team to Ease the Pain of Parking at 2014 NAIAS
If the word coming from Jalopnik is any indication, Detroit is currently not the best place to try to park your car. More than 5,200 journalists are present at this year’s NAIAS, making it difficult for folks to find parking spots (we assume that’s even with the help of Parkmobile and Parkopedia). Perhaps they should […]

1970 Mustang Milano Concept: Purple Haze from Pony Car Past
As part of the march to the ultimate pony car’s 50th anniversary, Ford has been going back into the vault and unearthing some of its most interesting and unfairly forgotten Mustangs for public consumption.

The American Le Mans Series resumed competition with its Lime Rock Park event, the American Le Mans Series Northeast Grand Prix, this past Saturday, July 6 in Lakeville, Connecticut.
