#NAIAS Preview: We're Gearing Up For One Of The Year's HOTTEST Auto Shows — Is Motown Bringing Sexy Back?

When it comes to the BIG auto shows in North America, it really is tough to top the Detroit Auto Show (NAIAS). That's because the biggest debuts tend to be left for the Motor City.

Seems appropriate, right?

Detroit Auto Show Preview



Mostly the Detroit Three use this as their place to debut their biggest products. But considering FCA has rolled out the Jeep Wrangler at the Los Angeles Auto Show, we're left awaiting the less obvious debuts. We know General Motors is going to bring out the all-new Silverado and the latest buzz indicates we'll finally get a look at the all-new Ford Bronco, but there's got to be more.

To give you just a taste of what to expect, Agent 001 has dug into the archives to unearth some of his favorite shots from the Detroit shows of yore. For me it brings back some particularly great memories. Take a peek, below, and let us know what YOU want to see in the Motor City in 2018.


Stay tuned for MORE Detroit Auto Show pictures — we'll be updating this A LOT before the show kicks off!

Ford could debut the Ranger, Bronco, and Focus. They could also show us the rumored Shelby Mustang GT500KR.

FCA will have the new Ram, but a Dodge or Chrysler concept off the Giorgio would be nice.

VW will likely show us the Jetta.

I'd love to see Lincoln show us an electric coupesedan.

I've read elsewhere that GAC will show us its lineup that it will use to enter the US market.

It's also time for Geely to make a move with its LincolnCo brand and hopefully sanity will compel them to get a different name for it.

Lincoln is a registered trademark of the Ford Motor Company - Geely has no choice -It cannot use that name in the USA (the addition of CO - will not be seen as a change) .

Near as I can tell - most of the ones you name will be simply Updates - not totally new - and hardly SEXY. (It depends on what you think of added on nonsense on the Mustang - to make it a Shelby) The Focus- and Ram will not change much. Only the Jetta is being materially improved.

Now - if they show the Next Gen Corvette - that might be something!

Otherwise = all we see for production is minor changes - Even the BMW 3 series is ho-hum.

BTW - I saw a commercial for the "KARMA" on TV today - and was surprised. THAT will be competition for the Tesla S for sure -if it ends up being produced.
