Figured it couldn't hurt to start a master thread for all pics/news/etc. about the Detroit auto show.

Some links I've found:
Production models

Day 2 photos

New Vehicles

World Premieres

Concept Cars

Use the arrow buttons on the left side of the page to cycle through the images.

It's sad the big 3 are going bankrupt. The new buick sedan looks nicer than anything toyota or honda has released in the past couple of years. The new shelby gt500 isnt bad either. Only if they drove as good as they looked.

Yeah GM and Ford both have some great looking vehicles in the pipeline.
Even the refreshed Ford Fusion looks good for a practical sedan.

IMO, this Cadillac concept stole the show on looks alone.
Lose the rear seats and drop in a mid-ship V8 or super-charged V6, and give it RWD or AWD.

Their designs are improving but they still lose money on every vehicle sold.

They need to go.

They can come back under new names without the unions and all the baggage.

That Cadillac is insane. One of the best designs I've ever seen.
