The fusion looks like an aston had a quickie with a Hyundai, and no one told them they were first cousins.

Looks very much like the Ford Evos concept. Apparently, the new Fusion will also be basically the new Mondeo for Europe.

Also, did this list of all the green production vehicles expected at the show earlier today. Bunch of hybrids, few clean diesels, and some other stuff.

 

[RocZX]

You are missing the Honda/Acura NSX.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Replaced the Genesis Coupe photo with a teaser video just released by Hyundai.

You are missing the Honda/Acura NSX.

Still gathering info, patience.

Agreed. I quite like it. I only wish it retained those haunches and aggressive stance.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Removed the 2013 GT500 Convertible. According to Autoblog the car will not be unveiled in Detroit as previously estimated:

Speaking of high-performance Mustang models, Autoblog has learned that rumors of the 2013 Shelby GT500 Convertible debuting in Motown are 100-percent false (as if to reinforce that fact, we spotted a 2012 model on a display stand). The most-powerful 'Stang droptop will debut this auto show season, though Ford wouldn't officially say at which show (we're thinking Chicago Auto Show).

 

[eSZee]

Looks very much like the Ford Evos concept.

I'm not sure about very much. Only the upper grill/fog lights look like they transferred over. Everything else has gone through the usual concept->production transformation and was toned down to 2008 honda accord levels.

I honestly think the Pathfinder looks more interesting then the Porsche, considering every Porsche is the same as the last basically.

I doubt the new Ford Fusion will look that nice though.

Apparently Chevy is going to have a concept Chevelle there too. I'm still working on getting industry day passes to the show, but if that falls through I should be heading down there during public week. It's always too bad that the venue the show is held at sucks, especially since we are supposed to be the Motor City.

Source? First I've heard of this.

[CodeRedR51]

That article is from 2010 though. Anything newer, specifically talking about Detroit?

 

[theotherspongey]

It says "'12 Chevelle" Not '10 Chevelle. The article was talking about what the car could come back to the U.S as.

I honestly hope it's the Ute they promised us and never delivered since Pontiac went belly up.

Added to OP.

 

[NISM0_SKYLINE]

I'm looking forward to the new Chevy, whatever it is. I'll be there on the 19th, so I can't wait either way.

 

[rocko100]

Ill be there at the 14, ill be sure to take pics!

 

[Watt2159]

3 more days until the unveil of the NSX, really getting difficult for me to wait.

 

[Omnis]

Ill be there at the 14, ill be sure to take pics!

If you do, make sure they're pics that you're not likely to see in the press. You have a unique opportunity to explore and document details and intricacies that may not be so obvious.

Just remember... Autoblog and Jalopnik will have better cameras.

 

[Motorcitydriver]

Headed down 11th or 12th, got our tickets today.

 

[dsgerbc]

^Industry preview? Nice.

 

[Watt2159]

Dodge dart looks a bit......odd?

 

[Furinkazen]

2013 Ford Fusion (accidental leak photo)

Thought that was an Aston Martin at first...

 

[RocZX]

Ford Fusion

[Nish]

It definitely has the Aston grill and hood style.

 

[theotherspongey]

I wonder what the rear looks like.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Updated the Fusion.

 

[Joey D]

Looks like the Caddy ATS has been shown.

Yeah, it was gonna be revealed before the NAIAS. I'm certainly looking forward to checking it out at the show though. If it offered a -V version in a wagon trim - I'd be all over it.
