The New York International Auto Show kicks off this week at the Jacob Javits Convention Center in New York City.
While the hot new cars will surely be the stars (like the Cadillac CT5 and 2020 GMC Acadia), there will be plenty of smart people on hand to share their knowledge of the automotive industry. One such convergence of automotive expertise is the Bank of America Merrill Lynch 2019 New York Auto Summit, which will be held today, on the show’s first press day.
Cadillac Senior Vice President and President Steve Carlisle will serve as General Motors‘ representative at the 2019 New York Auto Summit. Other automakers in attendance will include Ford, Group 1 Automotive and Shiloh Industries, Inc.
In late April 2018, General Motors ousted Cadillac President Johan de Nysschen, replacing him with Carlisle who was formerly president and managing director of GM Canada. The sudden departure of Nysschen came as a shock to the industry at the time.
Nysschen made several changes to the American luxury brand, spearheading a move of the company’s headquarters from Detroit to New York City. He was also the force behind a push to overhaul Cadillac retailers and the brand. However, sales lagged as Nysschen focused on sedans when consumers were beginning to flock to crossovers and SUVs.
The 2019 New York Auto Summit is scheduled to start at approximately 1:20 p.m. and will be followed by a brief Q&A session.

The big hit at the New York Auto Summit is electric or hybrid vehicles which means despite all the chatter and pronouncements made by General Motors CEO Mary Barra, the company is still 1-2 years out of sync with the rest of the industry which means unless GM does something to move forward.. it will find itself out of sync for a very long time and need to play catch up; it’s a shame that General Motors abandoned their Volt architecture.. because with it, GM could make almost every vehicle in it’s line up into a hybrid as all that would be need to change would be the output from the electric motor.
I have an idea that fits perfectly with the GM/Cadillac management. We will no longer call him Steve Carlisle. Instead, in keeping with Cadillac’s brain-tumor names, we will now refer to him as CPS-C (for Cadillac President Steve-Carlisle).
For Mary, we can just call her MB-1! lol
He is a good figure head – boring as is the car that just came out/ Dead on arrival with that blobalicious window treatment, and a rip off the BMW interior from 10 years ago – such imagination! Such setting the bar so high! Cadillac in reverse.
The New York International Auto Show remains at the center of attraction not only for the new innovation but also for the awesome directorial speech of the expertise. I hope, Steve will give the ultimate guideline to the future generation of the automotive industry. Actually, nothing can be more effective than the first-hand experience. I feel it when I work with the college students on https://australianwritings.com.au/essay-writing-help/ as an academic writer. Students admit that they have learned more in writing than class lectures.
Interesting article. Thanks Author
