Nissan Car Dealerships drop out of 2009 Detroit Auto Show

Last year, Porsche backed out of the Detroit Auto Show, which goes live next week. The luxury automaker was quickly followed by Acura, Infiniti, Lexus, Nissan, and Suzuki. Nissan dealers originally planned to attend the show in hopes to encourage the Japanese automaker.
Now, though, it looks like that plan's been nixed. Per MotorAuthority:
Nissan's dealers were willing to foot their own expenses to show up at Cobo Center anyway, but Nissan issued a request that indicates other motives could lay behind the absence from Detroit. Owner of Ann Arbor Nissan and co-chairman of the Detroit Show, Doug Fox, told the Detroit Free Press, "They just said they had made a national decision not to participate in this show and they asked us to respect that."
Nissan will be attending the Chicago Auto Show.
