Automaker Suzuki said it will take a pass on the Detroit auto show-- the most important auto show in the U.S.--in January because the venue, Cobo Hall, is too small. It had reportedly planned to
debut three vehicles during the show.
Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick will announce plans to expand the arena by 80,000 square feet, per the Detroit News. The paper says the
embattled mayor announced the expansion a day after Suzuki's announcement.
