Sadly, due to family commitments I wasn't able to attend the LA Auto Show this year. My lovely wife did remind me that I just attended the Paris show a few months ago and more recently the San Francisco show. Hmph. Well, no use crying over it now. Okay, so now let's start getting ready for Detroit! Woo Hoo! Mitsubishi made good with some photos of the production Lancer, so I thought I'd russle up what photos we do have for a little show and tell.
Toyota will present its FT-HS concept.
Lincoln will show the MKR concept, featuring a twin turbo V-6.
Jaguar will be showing a four door concept called the C-XF. This is the future of the S-Type.Mitsubishi will debut the Lancer. Certainly a make or break for Mitsu here in the States. It's nice but not exactly rocking my socks. I'm eagerly awaiting the Evolution...
Nissan is promising a small crossover called the Rogue (shown in sketch form) and a concept called that Bevel (no sketch provided) that is "a dynamic, multi-purpose vehicle with a small size, big utility and fresh thinking."
Honda is giving us a peek at the next generation Accord with the Accord coupe concept.
From Kia comes the Kue concept.
Chrysler has dished out sketches of the Chrysler Nassau and Jeep Trailhawk concepts.
Mazda will rev up the Ryuga concept.
GM will have the product Malibu and CTS on display.
Volvo will show the XC60 Concept.
Acura will be showing its Advanced Sports Car concept
As for other vehicles that should be at Detroit: The new Caddy CTS, Hummer H4 concept, restyled Ford Focus, 500 and Interceptor concept, Toyota has the Tundra CrewMax and Highlander, and Chrysler minivans.
Certainly there are more vehicles debuting, but this gives us something to chew on!
Update: More photos added so I've bumped the story back up to the top
Update2: Back to the top as there are several more photos.
Update3: The buzz continues to build!
Update4: The last update before Sunday. Enjoy!sources: automotive news, carspyshots.net, manufacturers' press releases

I represent HUMMER Division PR and wanted to clarify that there are no plans for a HUMMER concept at NAIAS next month. Dayna Hart
My source for the HUMMER concept was a widely quoted Automotive News Story. It's true that HUMMER itself has not made official announcement of a concept as NAIAS. I guess we'll just have to see what shows up at COBO!
