 DETROIT (AP) - The union picketers outside this year's North American International Auto Show will be one sign that all is not well in Detroit. The show comes at a difficult time for General Motors Corp. and Ford Motor Co., who are in the midst of restructuring after billions of dollars in losses in 2005.
GM and Ford want to put their troubles behind them and focus on their products at the show, which last year was attended by more than 775,000 people, including media from 63 countries. Both companies have new displays intended to play up their strengths and showcase their brands.
"The bottom line is that we are excited for this show," GM spokesman Terry Rhadigan said Friday. "This is important to us, to have an opportunity to talk about what's going to help our resurgence, and that's great products."
