Detroit Auto Show

As is the case with every auto show, we hear rumors about what will -- and what won't -- be revealed there.

How do you keep a rather boring vehicle segment like minivans interesting? Chrysler aims to find out with the surprise 700C Concept that quietly stepped into the Detroit show lights.

The Buick Encore is on a dedicated new CUV platform.

Friends, meet the 2013 LX570. While it's still based on the 200 series Toyota Land Cruiser, there are enough changes inside and out for Lexus to call it new.

As the popularity of crossovers continues to build, even the luxury automakers are getting in on the game. Audi has talked about bringing its little Q3 luxury crossover to the U.S. for a while now, and we'll finally see one on U.S. soil at the Detroit show, but only in concept form.

Looking to expand the possibilities of the as-of-yet-unreleased NV200 small commercial van, Nissan is unveiling an all-electric version in Detroit. Borrowing from the Leaf EV's parts bin, Nissan calls the eco-friendly creation the eNV200 Concept.

The still-young Acura RDX is up for a makeover, so the entry luxury SUV will be sitting pretty at the Detroit show with slightly altered sheetmetal to tide it over before its major redesign.

Volvo took the wraps off its XC60 plug-in hybrid concept. Based on the Swedish automaker's small XC60 crossover, the Volvo XC60 PHEV Concept uses an alternative powertrain.
