We went (thanks to a forum member) the year the Gt was launched. We were fortunate enough to go on Thursday night. There is a big change over on that night, from trade, and press to public. The booths are packed with cars for the public, where on the press days, the booths are sparse with only the featured new cars, so the photos are better. Accessibility changes too, were ropes etc are put up for the public. For us it was totally worth going, seeing the GT for the 1st time was incredible. We enjoy the Detroit / Dearborn area. But it is just a car show, but will have new offerings, not seen before, like the rumored corvette.
