[Updated] The 2011 Detroit Auto Show, also known by its North American International Auto Show [NAIAS] moniker, is arguably one of the world’s most important motor shows. Held at the Cobo Center in Detroit, this year’s event will open its gates to the public on January 15, but as usual, we’ll be covering the action from the press days starting Monday, January 10. The show’s organizers are anticipating some 30 to 40 world premieres, with manufacturers gearing up for what is expected to be a much better year in terms of sales.

We’ll be constantly updating the list available below, as the new models and concept cars hit the showroom floor.
