2008 North American International Auto Show announces family-oriented attractions

Detroit - The 2008 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, January 19-27, will feature many fun, family-oriented activities, say the show organizers. "This world-class event has so much to offer everyone from car enthusiasts who visit the show annually, to kids wanting to see their first concept vehicle," said Carl Galeana, senior co-chairman of the NAIAS 2008. "The cutting-edge technologies mixed with interactive attractions and entertaining displays offer an event perfect for the entire family."

Family attractions will include:

  • the Mach 5, a supercharged race car featured in Warner Bros. Pictures' new high-octane, live-action film, "Speed Racer".

  • a special interactive display that showcases four 3/4-scale racing simulators

  • "The Convincer," a crash simulator that allows family members to feel how seatbelts save lives firsthand.

  • Games and realistic video simulators including exhibits from Denso International America, Inc., XM Satellite Radio, SIRIUS Satellite Radio, State Farm Insurance, MSU Formula Car, UMich Solar Car, DUB Magazine and many others.

The NAIAS also expects many local, national and worldwide celebrities to attend the show.

Public Days will be held Saturday, Jan. 19 through Saturday, Jan. 26 from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Sunday, Jan. 27 from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Early access to the show is available for the disabled at 8 a.m. via the Oakland entrance.
