 2007 Consumer Electronics Showcase Lowered Truck

As a first-time visitor to the Consumer Electronics Showcase, I was expecting SEMA-like displays, as well as a fairly overwhelming turnout of exhibitors at the Hilton Convention Center. But, even with those lofty expectations, CES still managed to blow me away with their huge displays and production that went into 2007's event. Every big name in car audio was there-Sony, Alpine, Pioneer, MTX, Polk Audio, Kicker, Rockford Fosgate, and the list goes on. Every sort of electronic gadget you could think of was represented: stereos, plasma screens, navigation, and even kitchen appliances. We've shown you some of the hottest products from the show, and we'll continue to bring you more in our New Products section this month, as well as the months to come. But for now, here's a look at some of the hottest trucks and best displays the show had to offer.
