As well, show-goers can take advantage of the popular ‘Green Ride and Drive’ program with a variety of new hybrid and electric cars available for test drives.

Why don't we get to test drive at the NAIAS (even if they're 'green')?!  Unfair.

...turbocharged 3.8-litre V8 that makes 641 horsepower and 500 lb-ft of torque, accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.0 seconds, and has a top speed of 333 km/h.  ... Pricing hasn’t been announced but it’s likely to be in excess of $250,000.
Sounds better than the SLS AMG Black ;D

2 for 1 admission coupon for Sunday.

Coupon is from the local Chinese radio station but just to be clear, you don't have to be Chinese to use this coupon. I've used their coupons a number of times in the past. I'm sure they don't want to be on the wrong end of a discrimination lawsuit.

There's no restrictions of the sort printed on the coupon itself, so I'd be very surprised if you run into any problems with it. Note that the coupon applies to General Admission ($15); this wasn't translated into English.
