The North American International Auto Show, hosted each year in Detroit, appears set to return to its former glory for 2010. Many of the automakers absent from last year will be displaying and introducing models, while fears of bankruptcy for the U.S. manufacturers have been realized and have now subsided thanks to generous government aid and the help of foreign partners, the cooperation of the unions and a lot of tough decisions.
Important debuts for the first auto show of 2010 include the Honda CR-Z hybrid sports car, a Dedicated Hybrid Concept from Toyota, the BMW Z4 sDrive35i, the MINI Moke Concept and the 2011 Ford Mustang GT.
After seeing our Japanese friends exclude American manufactured cars from their own "cash for clunkers" program, perhaps their cars should be banned from the show. I can only imagine the outrage if our "cash for clunkers" program excluded Japanese cars.

I don't know where they got their information, but the US Big 3 were there in full force with their new crossovers, hybrid's, concepts, etc.
GM has some sharp looking crossovers out this year too.

Whew. I am glad to hear that. GM has come a long ways and so has Ford. Good for the Americans.
