    Detroit 2019 Preview

      What's going to be shown at the North American Auto Show in Detroit for 2019?

    The Detroit Auto Show is smaller this year compared to years past. This year is also the last year for the show in the winter. As we've reported before, the North American International Auto Show will move to June for the 2020 show, so no more mucking about in the snow in downtown Detroit for @William Maley and I.

    Here's a rundown of what we can expect to see for Detroit 2019.

    Cadillac - 2020 Cadillac XT6

    The 2020 Cadillac XT6 will make its debut on Sunday, January 13th. We expect it will be based on the same chassis as the Buick Enclave and powered by the same 3.6 liter V6 and 9-speed automatic found in the XT5.  We could get a surprise engine option available which would be needed to take on the fantastic new Lincoln Aviator.

    Ford - Shelby GT500 and 2020 Ford Explorer

    The 2020 Ford Explorer was previewed at an event in Detroit on January 9th. We expect further trim information, including Explorer ST and an Explorer Hybrid to be released on Monday during the show.  We can't yet say what the hybrid powertrain will be, only that it will not be the same setup as in the Aviator.

    The Shelby GT500 will debut on Monday. Packing a supercharged, handbuilt V8, we expect between 600 and 800 horsepower to run with the Camaro ZL1 and the Challenger Hellcat

    GAC - Entranze Concept

    The Entranze Concept is a 7 passenger SUV that promises to add a lot of technology and comfort ergonomics.

    Hyundai - Unknown

    We can't say what Hyundai will be showing just yet. Last year they showed the Veloster N. We do hope a demo of their new augmented navigation system will be available to try. 

    Infiniti - QX Inspiration Concept EV

    Infiniti will be showing the QX Inspiration Concept. It is an electric vehicle that claims to reduce range anxiety, so expect an ambitious range estimate. It also showcases future design language for the Infiniti QX crossover and SUV lineup.

    KIA - 2020 Hyundai Telluride

    The Kia Telluride was shown at NY Fashion Week back in September, appropriately overdressed.  On Monday, we'll finally get to see the production model without all the fluff.

    Lexus - RC-F Track Edition, UX200 and UX200ht, Lexus LC Convertible Concept

    Lexus will be showing the Track Edition of their RC-F and some powertrain updates to the Lexus UX first shown in Geneva.  Lexus will also show off the LC Convertible Concept being considered for production.

    Lincoln - Continental 80th Anniversary Coach Edition

    We've seen the pictures of the 2019 Lincoln Continental Coach Edition, but now we'll get to see it in person. Lincoln is only building a limited number of these beauties, so get your reservation in now. 

    Nissan - EV Concept

    We're not 100% sure on this one, but we expect a new EV concept from Nissan.

    RAM - Heavy Duty Pickups

    Last January, RAM update the 1500 series pickups.  Now it is the Heavy Duties' turn. Expect most of the powertrains to carry over and some mild electrification. Update: We now have some teaser images of the 2020 Ram HD trucks

    Subaru - WRX STI 209

    Subaru will show a limited edition WRX STI called the S209. Expect bigger brakes, better shocks, bigger wings, and limited sales numbers.

    Toyota - Supra

    Last, but not least, the Toyota Supra will be making a return after a 17-year hiatus.

    Very excited for what might be shown that has not been talked about. Hope they show some cool concepts.

    What you see is what you get.  The only ones not listed (Hyundai, can't release the info yet) and (Nissan, honestly don't know yet) are the only surprises that will be there.  It's going to be a light show this year.

    Funny story about this. I was on Twitter late last night and saw a journalist mentioned that automaker had lifted an embargo on a vehicle that was debuting at the show. Couldn't find anything about it at the time. Then this morning rolls around and I find out what vehicle it is.

      Yeah, given Stellantis' quality/reliability issues, a 5000lb SUV w/ a 2.0 turbo 4 just seems like asking for trouble.    I just find the current market pretty boring and uninspired.  The only vehicles I have any interest in are $75k to over $100k.  Which I can afford but really can't justify the spend..  Better to invest in upgrades to my house and maybe purchase a winter home as I approach retirement in the next decade (which I'm having a hard time admitting to myself), keep my current vehicles going indefinitely...

      Thanks. I did not know that they were at a 4 cylinder. On a GM, 1.5 liters is 90 c.i., so they have to append a turbo to it.  In looking at the Nissan Sentra, they use a 2.0 L4, for example ... 120 cubes is a displacement that has been standard lingo across many car brands for years. Once the Charger, which had been continuously revised to become such a nice car, left the fold, my interest in Stellantis it is all but gone.

      For the smaller crossovers, I've found the Chevy Equinox quite pleasant to drive.  Comfortable seats, smooth ride, even w/ the 1.5 turbo 4, decent power for freeway driving.  I've driven my sister's '23 LT quite a bit around town and on short road trips the last few years.  Good ergonomics and layout, Car Play and Android Auto work fine.  More back seat room than my Grand Cherokee.  Easy to get in and out of.   I haven't looked at the new generation model that came out of '25, though.   My sister looked at the 25 when had her 23 in for service, thought the new one was ugly.   As for myself, if I were shopping for a new car, don't know what I would get.  My Jeep and Cadillac are both in excellent condition and paid for..and working from home, no real need for a new vehicle.   I don't think I'd get another Grand Cherokee given Stellantis' quality problems in recent years and that the '26 GC comes with a 4 cyl standard.

      Since I  haven't yet decided which side of the pond and if I wanted to throw out a little bit more money and it didn't have to be a car, I could choose a GMC Acadia.  Of the vehicles which were not sedans that I've rented, this one might be the most pleasing in terms of looks, comfort, and ride. I am almost sure I've reviewed it in the knot too distant past.  It has a slightly bigger engine ... since the number 1.5, as in liters, gives me heartburn.
