Earlier this week, Emily and I attended our 3rd North American International Auto Show Press Preview with A Girl’s Guide To Cars. Every year the Detroit Auto Show is an educational experience that sparks our thirst for auto innovation, design, and more. So, without further ado, we present the 2nd Annual Bedazzled Britt Auto Show Awards for the very best of the best of the following categories: Most Stylish Car, Coolest Activity, Best Showroom, Best Car For Us, & Best Reveal.
...
Most Stylish Car goes to the Lincoln Navigator Black Label. Lincoln dedicated an entire room of their showroom to display the Navigator with interactive screens to find your perfect Black Label fit. You were shown an array of images, and instructed to choose 4 images that best described your style. It would then give you the car and theme that best fit you, and from there you could customize your car to your liking, and hear the background on the design that went into it. I was matched to the Navigator with a Yacht Club Theme, inspired by the watercraft with cool sea-blue leathers and sun-bleached woods. We found the Navigator to be classic, stylish, and sleek!
...
Coolest Activity goes to the Ford. With the introduction of the new Ford Explorer, Ford turned the back end of their showroom into a driving track with a new twist. They introduced the first-ever completely immersive virtual reality driving experience. Guests were able to climb into the new Explorer, put on a pair of VR goggles, and take off on a 360 ride. As the car took off, we started in virtual city streets, and as we looked around, we could view starry skies above us, people walking in front of us, and buildings surrounding us. We were then taken through desserts, past waterfalls, and ended by descending a snowy mountainside. We found the Explorer to be bigger, wider, and impressively able to tow up to 5,000 lbs.!
...
Best Showroom goes to Kia. Along with the reveal of their new Kia Telluride, aptly named after Telluride, Colorado, Kia created an all-natural driving terrain. With live trees, plants, boulders, stones, soil, and a roaring waterfall being screened on the back wall, you truly felt you were surrounded by Colorado’s mountains. To prove the Telluride was capable in all driving conditions, attendees were able to jump in a Telluride and take a ride around the rough terrain, and up and down the steep track. After taking a ride ourselves, we found the Telluride to be big, bold, boxy, and highly capable!
…
Best Car For Emily goes to the Hyundai Kona. She loved its size, style, all-wheel drive, sunroof, seat warmers, steering wheel controls, touch screen display, and wireless device charging! Best Car For Me goes to the Subaru Forester for the 2nd year in a row. I love its size, sleek design, brown leather interior, all-wheel drive, sunroof, 33 MPG highway, spacious seating, and immense cargo space!

Best Reveal goes to the announcement of the 2020 North American International Auto Show being held June 9th-20th. It will take place right after the Detroit Grand Prix on Belle Isle, and right before the Ford fireworks. When the Detroit Auto Show debuts in June 2020, it will be held all over downtown: Cobo Center, Hart Plaza, Campus Martius, and more. With the beautiful summer weather, the goal is to create a destination to enjoy for the whole day, with food trucks and live entertainment. With static and moving displays, you will be able to take a ride in an autonomous vehicle, the new Ram 1500, and more!
