The North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit is only a few weeks away and auto enthusiasts can’t wait to see the new concept vehicles that will be unveiled. Though details are still scarce, a few manufacturers have released information about the models they will show. Here 6 automobiles that will debut at the NAIAS show taking place January 10th – 23rd.

2012 Honda Civic

Yesterday, Honda revealed a sketch of the 2012 Honda Civic concept car. The new model, which will go on sale in the spring, is the ninth generation of the Civic family. Is that a glass roof?

2011 Chrysler 300

Images of the 2011 Chrysler 300 sedan are slowly making their way to the Web, with the most recent being this interior shot from Automotive News.

2012 Ford Escape

Ford will reveal a concept version of the 2012 Ford Escape which is expected to go on sale sometime next year.

Chevrolet Sonic

Meant to compete against the Ford Fiesta and Hyundai Accent, the new Sonic is a subcompact car made by Chevrolet. General Motors will begin producing the car in its Orion Township plant in August 2011.

Mini-BMW Concept

Mini is thought to be developing a new small car for its parent company, BMW, and many believe the mini-BMW will be unveiled at the Detroit Auto Show next month.

Porsche

Porsche is returning to the auto show this year and have announced they will be unveiling a “spectacular” new vehicle. When pressed for details, a spokesperson for the sports car maker said auto enthusiasts will have to “wait and be surprised,” but some are wondering if the cryptic announcement refers to 918 Spyder Concept (below).

Which model are you most looking forward to seeing? Obviously, the "spectacular" Porsche unveiling will be exciting, but I'm interested in the more affordable models.
