Detroit Auto Show Memorable Moments

Detroit has been known as the Motor City for as long as the locals can remember, and a huge part of the automotive heritage coursing through the city’s veins can be seen at its annual auto show.

从当地人记事起，底特律就一直被称为汽车城，在其年度车展上，可以看到贯穿这座城市血脉的汽车遗产的很大一部分。

Formally hosted in the bitter cold of Michigan winter in the heart of downtown Detroit in what was referred to simply as Cobo, a lot has changed over the years. With a new name, a wider spread into the city and a warmer show date, what was formally known as the North American International Auto Show, or NAIAS to familiars, has been rebirthed as the Detroit Auto Show. Still chock-full of rich history, groundbreaking moments, unforgettable reveals, and enough automotive enthusiasm to keep people coming back year after year, the show is once again ready to entertain car-lovers of all ages.

在密歇根州严寒的冬天，在底特律市中心的一个被简称为“Cobo”的地方正式举办，这些年来发生了很多变化。北美国际车展（NAIAS）有了一个新的名字，在城市中的传播范围更广，展会日期也更温暖，它被正式称为北美国际车展，现在被重新命名为底特律车展。该展览仍然充满了丰富的历史、开创性的时刻、令人难忘的启示，以及足够的汽车热情，让人们年复一年地回来，它再次为娱乐各个年龄段的汽车爱好者做好了准备。

As we gear up for this year’s Detroit Auto Show, let’s journey back to some of our jaw-dropping highlights from over the years.

当我们为今年的底特律车展做准备时，让我们回顾一下这些年来令人瞠目结舌的亮点。

It was the winter of 1992, and Cobo Hall was a buzz, counting down to an unusual, never-been-done-before reveal from the Jeep _® brand. News media gathered around at the far end of the building as a bright red Jeep slowly started to crawl up the steps of Cobo. Moments later, a shattering of glass and a frenzy of camera flashes occurred as the brand new 1993 Jeep Grand Cherokee made its debut.

那是1992年的冬天，Cobo Hall 引起了轰动，这是 Jeep 品牌前所未有的不同寻常的发布会。新闻媒体聚集在大楼的尽头，一辆亮红色的Jeep 慢慢地开始爬上 Cobo Hall 的台阶。过了一会儿，1993年全新吉普大切诺基首次亮相时，玻璃破碎，那一刻，摄像机闪光灯疯狂了起来。

From the outside, what looked like a simple reveal took plotting, planning and perfect execution and ended up being one of the most popular vehicle reveals of all-time for the Company and the industry. The iconic “glass break” reveal was a huge hit and put the beloved Jeep Grand Cherokee on the map.

从外表上看，这似乎是一个简单的展示，经过了策划、规划和完美的执行，最终成为公司和行业有史以来最受欢迎的汽车展示之一。标志性的“玻璃破碎”事件一炮而红，让备受喜爱的吉普大切诺基登上了地图。

This next larger-than-life vehicle reveal that made its way into Detroit Auto Show history is courtesy of the Ram Truck brand, which at the time was known as Dodge Ram. Prior to the Company splitting up its rugged muscle and HEMI® powered speed, there was a herd of 120 longhorn cattle being corralled down Detroit’s Washington Boulevard by a group of cowboys back in January of 2008.

这辆进入底特律车展历史的下一个产品，是由当时被称为 Dodge Ram品牌旗下的 Ram Truck 品牌提供的。在该公司拆分其肌肉产品和HEMI®动力速度之前，2008年1月，一群牛仔赶着120头长角牛在底特律的华盛顿大道。

The brand spared no bells and whistles with the reveal of its first-ever crew-sized cab truck, the 2009 Dodge Ram. This reveal was a lasting moment from the 2008 North American International Auto Show and helped launch the brand into the large-sized pickup segment.

2009年的 Dodge Ram，该品牌不遗余力地推出了其首款 crew-sized 的驾驶室卡车。这是2008年北美国际车展上的一个经典时刻，而此时也是该品牌进入大型皮卡市场的标志。

Concepts are some of the most fun auto show reveals for many reasons, most among them is the ability to push creative boundaries.

概念是车展上最有趣的展示，原因有很多，其中最重要的是突破创意界限的能力。

The Dodge brand did this with their reveal of the 2003 Dodge Tomahawk Concept, a motorcycle powered by a V10 engine from a Dodge Viper. The concept was created to shatter all the barriers of conventional thinking about personal transportation. The four-wheel, single-passenger vehicle was a sleek, rolling sculpture that combined styling with extreme engineering.

Dodge 品牌在2003年推出了道奇战斧概念车（Dodge Tomahawk Concept），这是一款由 Dodge Viper  V10发动机驱动的摩托车。这个概念的产生是为了打破传统思维中对个人交通的所有障碍。四轮单乘用车是一个光滑、滚动的雕塑，将造型与极端工程相结合。

The Dodge brand’s love for speed, power and performance made a reveal like the Tomahawk one that made sense. The motorcycle was a concept created through horsepower passion, innovation and the desire to push the limits of the concept car game to a whole new level.

In 2006, the Chrysler brand was introducing its first-ever SUV. The all-new 2007 Chrysler Aspen debuted in the middle of a blizzard. Surprisingly, the blizzard was indoors and not outdoors, which wasn’t always the case.

2006年，克莱斯勒品牌推出了其首款SUV。2007年全新的克莱斯勒阿斯彭在暴风雪中首次亮相。令人惊讶的是，暴风雪是在室内而不是室外，但情况并非总是如此。

A flurry of “snow” came down on stage as clowns, dressed playfully in their extra-large shoes and bright colors, battled the blizzard conditions to reveal the all-new vehicle. Dubbed the “300” of SUVs, the Aspen was loaded with performance, premium amenities and fuel-saving tech for the time.

舞台上出现了一阵“雪”，小丑们穿着他们的超大鞋子和鲜艳的颜色，与暴风雪条件作斗争，展示了这辆全新的汽车。Aspen 被称为SUV中的“300”，在当时充满了性能、高级设施和节油技术。

The rich history of the Detroit Auto Show has been built on so much more than just automotive. It’s creativity, technology, passion, practicality, heart, soul and resilience. As we’ve looked back at some major history-making moments for the Company and its brands, we look forward to what this year’s show will reveal.

底特律车展丰富的历史不仅仅建立在汽车上。这是创造力、技术、激情、实用性、心灵和韧性。当我们回顾公司及其品牌的一些重大历史时刻时，我们期待着今年的展会将展示什么。

We’re ready to make some more history, introduce to our community what’s new and share our love for automotive, tech and the city of Detroit.

希望你们爱看车展，希望你们爱车展

车展会成为人类似历史上的一个瞬间，车展也会成为一部分人的职业生涯，也会成为一种体验

我，曾经在车展做了些运营管理工作，那一年北京还没有开奥运会

我，一直在车展现场，看品牌的更替和看展示方式的不同

我，很期待车展一直在变化，并活下去
