While there, we discovered Cadillac's show car's called the XTS (http://jalopnik.com/5432352/cadillac-xts-is-the-new-cadillac-concept) and peeked at the rest of the hall. Boxes, what do you hold?
Random Show Facts: The General's NAIAS stand takes up around 100,000 square feet of space. 85,000 feet of that is tagged for car display, with the rest earmarked for conference and hospitality areas. Forty vehicles will be displayed during press days, with another twenty-one cars added on for the public show. Although the stand is being constructed now, it's designed to allow them to use it for the next few auto shows; the current stand employs a cadre of laborers working around the clock and is scheduled to be completed by January 8th.
GM claims this year's stand will make good use of touch-screen infotainment and a raised floor. No word on whether or not the free food will be worth a damn. (Cheese puffs! We want cheese puffs!)
