The much-anticipated 2017 Detroit Motor Show is less than a month away. With the start of the new year comes new vehicles from almost all major company will unveil production and concept cars that will innovate the cars for the future. Detroit, also known as Motor City, will surely feature cars that will pave the way for futuristic cars.
Starting Early To Sell Early
Although the 2017 Detroit Auto Show starts off the new year with its featured new cars, we can expect that some major players will skip, to prepare for the Los Angeles and New York auto show. It has been a trend for some companies to show their arsenal later on as a form of marketing strategy. However, a quote also says "the early bird gets the early worm," that translates to companies who sell early can sell more.
Porsche has already confirmed that they will not be joining the 2017 Detroit Auto Show. Fiat Chrysler already announced that they would appear on the Consumer Electronics Show that will be held from January 5 to 8 in Las Vegas Nevada. Other car brands have not given any statement yet if they will be appearing at the Detroit Auto Show. Here's what we know so far:
