The Detroit auto show begins next week.
- The 2019 North American International Auto Show in Detroit officially opens to the public next week and runs through January 27.
- This will be the final time the Detroit auto show takes place in January. In 2020, it will move to June.
- Lots of new SUVs and sports cars will make their North American debuts next week during two media days before the 2019 Detroit auto show open to the public.
- Ford, Cadillac, RAM, Infiniti, VW, and Subaru will all be showing new vehicles.
Soon enough, no more frozen journeys to downtown Detroit's Cobo Hall to see the newest automobiles in chilly, upper Midwestern January. The North American International Auto Show will move to June in 2020.
