It's Time for the Auto Shows

It's that time of year when Detroit, Japan, Germany, and other auto manufacturers show off their latest models and plans for the future. The Detroit Auto Show, the largest such event in the world, is open to the public from January 19 - 27. About.com's Guide to Detroit offers excellent information on visiting the show as well as a photo gallery of some of the cars displayed in previous years.

Cleveland's own auto show takes place at the I-X Center February 23 through March 3.
