The Best in New Cars, Showcased at the 2017 Detroit Auto Show

Updated: Jan 11, 2017

2017 has some great things ahead.

We just walked about 18 miles and wow, are our feet tired! But it was a glorious 18 miles of carpets and polished floors under the brights lights of the Detroit Auto Show.

We got to see the best of the best new cars, the innovations that are coming to the marketplace and the thoughtfully redesigned cars built with you in mind. The big news? The year of the family car continues! From the utility car of the year—the Chrysler Pacifica—to some of the most exciting new cars to come to the market, here’s a look at what the car future holds—and it’s really good.

A bold look at the Detroit Auto Show

Our friend Desiree Miller put together this little video overview of what you’ll see at the Detroit Auto Show:

#Repost @roadshowautos with @repostapp ・・・ Honda unveiled the 2018 Odyssey yesterday and it packs a super quiet cabin and a surprising amount of tech. Including an entertainment system that can stream video for second and third row passengers through an optional Wi-Fi hotspot. Also, the second row of seats can slide sideways making access to the back of the Odyssey easier. #naias #honda #hondaodyssey
