The Detriot Auto Show always has some crazy concept and production car debuts, especially from the US automakers. What are you hoping to see reveiled? I think GM and FCA are going to fight for media dominance next year. We all remember how Ford dominated 2015's NAIAS with the Raptor, GT350R, and Ford GT “Concept” debuts.
I’m seriously banking on GM wanting to repeat what Ford did in 2015 (because GM is the most reactive automaker in the world). Im hoping Z/28, ZR1, and whatever that mid-engined sportscar is as a concept. But FCA is probably going to show off the Hellcat-powered Grand Cherokee Trackhawk, the Durango refresh with an SRT model, and the production form of the Ram Rebel TRX Concept but with the 6.4L HEMI instead of the detuned 6.2L V8, not to mention the AWD Challenger and the widebodied Hellcat ADR.
With all that said, there are still plenty more vehicles that should be debuting at NAIAS and Im most excited for the Kia GT Sedan to be reveiled. I think we’ll get the Genesis G80 Sport in LA and the Genesis G70 will wait for New York. So the Kia should fall in between its trio partners in price, size, performance, and debut.

GM will probably not wow you. The General is, once again, hoping the marketing guys can pull them through. A couple of neat cars but.. Meh.

I think it may be FCA. Between AWD Hellcat Chally, Hellcat Cherokee, and 140k Grand Wagoneer, there’s a good but of hype they could cash in on. Don’t forget Mazda seems to be more serious each day about making the RX-9 a reality, I wouldn’t be too surprised to see another concept or prototype on the floor.

China will dominate the auto show for about 30 minutes. Then the feds will show up and confiscate all their shit for IP infringement.

Split my sides..
GM is still working on the Dan Akerson philosophy. The old “won’t blow the doors off but competitive” strategy. GM is still GM. That dog will never hunt.

Hmm. Well, it looks like there will be an AWD Chally in some form, at least.

Dodge needs to do a Rebel with the Viper V10 - supercharged to 800hp, because why the hell not?

And unveiled, not reveiled.
Unless you mean reviled, which... my answer there is the Chinese cars, as always.

That dog has been in the backyard for an awful long time. It may not be hunting, but it’s up to sooooomthiiiiiing...
But then again, maybe all of this is just a poor photoshop job. Now that’s a side splitter.

Despite FCA’s probable lack of Viper, they will still probably dominate next year, especially if Alfa Romeo brings the hot Italians again.
