When I went, the lot of us sat inside this one car that looked like a CTS from the early 90's... and we were just ruining it by sitting inside it. Honestly... the dome light fell out, the glove compartment simply stopped functioning, the sun visors were a disaster, and all the knobs went on strike. The roof lining adopted a completely different shape by the time we got out. The brochures, however, were COMPLETELY worth the trip to Detroit. God... classic Engrish!
