When the Detroit auto show was the premier place to launch new vehicles, it was a global event. Now that there are so many other auto shows around the world competing for that honor- it's a tougher pill to swallow. How many times have we seen vehicle launches at the Chicago show? The Munich show? The LA show? The New York show?

Personally I'd love it if the Big Three automakers only launched their products here at the Detroit show and bring back some of that prestige to this show. But I also understand the desire not to share any of the spotlight with their competitors as well.

I don't blame Porsche, but that doesn't mean there still can't be some glam and glitz at the Detroit Auto Show.
