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.

Her love of cars started when her father insisted she learn to change the oil in her MG Midget, but now it mostly plays out in the many road trips taken with her family.
