Don’t worry, Detroit. Sure, eight major manufacturers have bailed on your auto show and two Chinese companies have set up camp on the main floor, but Honda will still be there. Sort of. The company just announced that it has no plans to have a press conference at the North American International Auto Show. That means there will be one less place for the hordes of starving press to get a free meal, but more importantly, the Honda Insight will be unveiled with nothing more than a sheet pull on the main floor. Ouch. [Source: Autoblog]
