Development of World Car: Nissan Auto Gallery

Nissan is the latest and biggest automaker to withdraw from Detroit's North American International Auto Show, scheduled to take place in January. Mitsubishi, Land Rover, Rolls-Royce, and Suzuki have all said they will not attend the show.
"I certainly respect Nissan and any of the other companies that have to make a decision -- hopefully a short-term decision," said Carl Galeana, co-chair of the Detroit show. "It's tough for everyone right now."
Although relatively small in terms of consumer attendance, the Detroit show tends to get the most press exposure among the major U.S. auto shows, especially from foreign journalists. The 2008 show attracted about 700,000 attendees when it was held in January.
