TweetTwo cities have been vying for our automotive attention this week. While Shanghai has been rolling out the more exotic stuff, New York offered up more things that are down to Earth – more like, down to our country’s consciousness.

Washington 2019: Plugging In and Taking It All In
TweetThe Twin Cities Auto Show was not my final stop on the circuit. That was reserved for something that challenged my memory.

Chicago 2019: We Got Videos, Yes We Do!

Commentary: Next Stop, Chicago
TweetWorking this year’s North American International Auto Show from the comfort of my home proved to be easier than I thought. It came down to predictability.

Detroit 2019: A Bit of Warmth Inside Cobo for One Last Winter
TweetForget about Emotional Support Musical Instruments, airports understaffed due to the government shutdown, trains, and Wisconsin…can we talk about automobiles, again? We can.
