MAIN Recreation Cars Detroit Auto Show

Time once again for the hottest ticket in new car concepts — as the annual North American International Auto Show at Detroit's Cobo Conference Exhibition Center celebrates its 105th anniversary this year.

The 2012 Detroit Auto Show officially opens to the public on Saturday, January 14 through Sunday, January 24, 2012.

Despite Detroit's recent struggles, the auto industry is making a huge comeback in the US, with major strides being made by American car makers.

Along with major manufacturers showing off their newest models, home town pride will be everywhere on display in the historic Motor City in 2012. At Cobo, the big news this year will continue to focus more on the sexiness of saving on gas prices with the debut of new concept electric cars and hybrids.

In 2012, also look for the introduction of new models offered by Land Rover, Rolls Royce, Suzuki, and Nissan along with splashy debuts of the new model turbo-charged Hyundai Genesis Coupe, and the Bentley Continental GT V-8.
