"Of the North American trade fairs in 2008, Porsche will among others be attending those in Chicago, Los Angeles, Miami, New York and Toronto."
Well, jeez. In the days of digital photography and websites dedicated to new/future models, how many shows do you need per region?
If a car shows up for the first time at the Frankfurt show... everybody from Paris to Detroit knows about it two months in advance, has spy shots two weeks in advance, and by the time its actually at the first show, its being replaced in the headlines already by the design announcement of the new next best thing.
We're a lot more mobile and informed these days and perhaps the idea of the traveling circus hitting every town is a bit of a dinosaur.
