BenzInsider visited the North American International Auto Show in Detroit this year. The mood was quite different from years past – much more somber. The majority of the free food and lavish drinks dished out to us media had vanished – exception being the Mercedes Benz display. Irregardless of the recession, Mercedes showed their true luxurious style displaying vehicles like the 2010 E-Class, SLR Stirling Moss and the Blue Zero Concept alongside dishes you might see on Top Chef.
Overall the show was big on “green” and minimial on flash. However we want to tip our fedora hat to the home town luxury car division; Cadillac! They skipped the superficial glitz but displayed some great looking vehicles; 2010 redesigned SRX, the CTS wagon and the Converj concept car.
