Check out the latest cars from the 2014 North American International Auto Show - NAIAS - in Detroit

The North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit is one of the most important gatherings for new car manufacturers in the world.  This is where many of the most significant models are introduced to the public for the first time.  If you watch the news or read the paper, you probably know that the press preview is happening at the NAIAS right now.  This is actually the first time in many years that I am not in attendance.  But that doesn’t mean that I can’t cover it here.  The manufacturers have great media departments, and you can pull up videos and pictures from almost all the big reveals.  Let’s check out some of the action from COBO Hall.

When you think about all the old cars that we normally look at here, do you ever wonder if today's cars will be looked upon in the same way in 40, 50, 60 years? What are tomorrow's classics? What will people be driving to the local car cruises?

One of the biggest new car shows in the world is held every January in Detroit, Mich., where the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) previews the newest and hottest offerings from most of the major auto makers. The actual show doesn't even open until next weekend, but I was there this week for the exclusive media preview days, and I brought back pictures and news straight from Detroit's huge COBO Hall.
