Can this have been the most prolific Detroit auto show ever? Mercedes debuts its SLR Silver Arrow concept, while Chrysler's own retro star, the PT Cruiser, also breaks cover. AW editors name it the Most Significant. Onstage, an enthusiastic J Mays, design chief for Ford, shows off a "Super 8 Yellow'' Thunderbird concept that AW dubs Best in Show. Cadillac shows the Evoq (our Best Concept), which we will come to know as the XLR. And Most Fun is the Nissan Concept Z. And there's the Pontiac Aztek.
Honda debuts its VV concept, which hits streets not much later as the Insight hybrid two-door. That shaking you feel is the world changing.
