QOTD: What Do You Want Covered At NAIAS

The first NAIAS press day I ever attended was in 2010. The auto industry was just finding its feet again after coming off record low sales. Discretion was the order of the day, with Ford unveiling the 2011 5.0 Mustang off-site, as fuel economy, alternative powertrains and other politically correct “stories” took precedence of power and brawn. Nancy Pelosi walked the show floor. For the first time in years, there’s an air of confidence surrounding the show. The industry appears to have found its legs again, the OEMs are making money, and a host of important debuts are set to be unveiled. Let us know what you’d like to see covered. We’ll make sure to have our photographers snapping pictures while myself and Juan bring you all the info.

    Some of the smartphone integration software is simply awful. I would love to see who is getting the phones to work well and the ability to do apps that are already on the phones to actually work. Another thing that bugs me especially for the Ford Sync if you wish to update your 2 year old car you have to buy a new one. The old one is already obsolete.

    The C-Klasse in particular. Merc has had issues with interior quality since the Mk. 2 on, I'm curious if they've finally worked on and improved that.

    Do the k2XX SUVs look as ugly in person as they do in pictures? Are they able to even jump a curb with the lack of clearence? Don't really care about the small cars, just wanna know about the trucks and BoF SUVs

    Any info pertaining to the 2015 Volt, Voltec 2.0 or any concept vehicle w/Voltec drive train. No clue if GM will be displaying anything or not.
