1) Its Detroit. It is still the home of the American auto industry.

EDIT: I have not seen the LA show, but I can tell you the Detroit show is HUGE. I went to the show in Chicago and was disappointed. Maybe 1/3 the size. They put up the big bucks for the Detroi show.

2) Concept cars are the future, and frequently they give us a glimpse into what will be on the road in 2-3 years. They are not supposed to be finished production models, so why the irritation?

3) Companys have become more savy with the aftermarket parts, but they are also always going to be very conservative.

4) Yes, daily drivers are getting faster. No worrys about the guy in the Lexus. He paid a lot for that car, and will drive accordingly. Its the kids in ricers and drunk drivers that worry me.
