Reinventions of legendary high-performance vehicles, popular new pickups and features and a family SUV that returns to its roots headline the North American International Detroit Auto Show at Huntington Place convention center on the Detroit riverfront.
The show opened to the public Saturday and runs through Sept. 24.
The show looks bigger and better than last year and also includes several welcome activities:
- An indoor demo track for electric vehicles with models from BMW, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Ford, GMC, Tesla and Volkswagen.
- Indoor off-road tracks demonstrating the capabilities of pickups and SUVs by Ford, Jeep and Ram.
- Outdoor test drives in new Ford vehicles.

Everyone who wants to know more about electrical vehicles should visit the Powering Michigan EV Learning Center.

Two other stands continue last year’s look into moving flying cars from science fiction to a driveway near you:
- California company Alef Aeronautics, with its Model A prototype.
- Israeli Air’s electric vertical takeoff and landing vehicle, complete with a flight simulator for showgoers to experience.
The cars (and trucks and SUVs) are the stars
The show features more than a dozen important new vehicles going on sale over the next 12 months.
