Detroit is well known yes because of the auto industry, but also because it's always been a cultural mecca especially in music; the Motown talent explosion, the creation of techno, there are entire genres dedicated to the city and it continues to produce legends today.
Anyone who would honestly argue Detroit isn't still the automotive capital of the world is mislead. The Detroit region boasts one of the highest concentrations of engineers in the world.
