密歇根新闻广播 组织者考虑更改底特律车展时间（在线收听）

For decades, January in Southeast Michigan has meant it's time for the auto show.

Thousands trek to Cobo Center for the North American International Auto Show, often picking their way through snow and ice, but it seems that the snow may give way to autumn leaves.

Daniel Howes, Detroit News business columnist, joined Stateside to discuss a potential change for auto shows to come as organizers float the idea of moving the event from January to a different time of year.

Listen above to hear what a new timeframe for the event might offer, why October might be the "sweet spot" for the show, and what Howes sees as the likelihood that 2019 will be the last Detroit auto show held in January.
