5th OGB Post: Auto Industry Trends and Insights for 2011

I spent the better part of last week in Detroit at the North American International Auto Show working the show floor, stalking folks in the media room and learning a lot about what makes auto writers tick.  I was armed with a bunch of stats and insights - gleaned from Google's data - and landed some stories.

But, this data needed greater exposure, and although just last month, I had my fourth post published (about Google's 10 year mark in Chicago), I figured the OGB would give the data a pretty wide audience.  So...I wrote a post for the OGB entitled:  Auto Industry off to a Fast Start in Motown. 

This was the second time I've been to the Detroit show and it always amuses me how the industry treats the new models:  they're like brand new babies - kept under wraps.  This (I think) is the new VW Jetta. 

Those of you following along at home will notice a similarity in this Auto Show post on the Official Google Blog and the other ones I've written - 4 of the 5 have dealt with trends!  Because his one involves our business and some of our largest customers however, may have turned out the best!
