BY KEITH GRIFFIN This week I wanted to take a look at the recent Detroit Auto Show because of the impact it’s going to have on the automotive world in 2011. Once again I failed to travel to the wintry wonderland that is the city on Lake Michigan, but I followed events closely through friends on the ground and via the Internet so I could paint an accurate picture of what to expect. DESIGN IS KING That’s the big news that came out of Detroit. Companies are delivering some visu- ally amazing products that are going to turn heads on the road. Heading the list would be the Honda Civic. Technically it’s a concept but you will be seeing these on the road in the next six months. Honda stalled the release of the Civic so it could be more competitive in the compact segment that has become a bat- tleground of late after years of benign neglect by the car companies. The new Civic could signify a new design direction of Honda. On the other end of the spectrum in terms of price and performance is the new BMW 650i convertible. It’s always been a fast car but it was kind of dumpy looking. BMW has created a stunning piece of eye candy that Photo © Honda demonstrates the company is getting away 2012 Honda Civic is a concept in name only.
