The Best Luxury Cars at the Detroit Auto Show: Preview

Detroit in January is not exactly glamorous. But the North American International Auto Show (a.k.a. Detroit Auto Show) is without question the most prestigious car show in the world.

It has long been the show automakers choose for their world debuts, premium product launches, and high-profile concept test beds. Thousands of members of the international press show up early each morning to meet with executives and network with their colleagues—and drool over cars. It opened to press this morning and the public can join in starting Jan. 17.
