Best guesses?

Cadillac:
new CTS, revamped SRX

Chevrolet:
revamped Cobalt, "Super" Corvette, convertible Camaro, a RWD sedan concept.

Pontiac:
Variation of the Solstice

Buick:
Lacrosse Super, production Enclave.

Hummer:
H4 near-production concept.

Saturn:
Vue replacement, at least 1 rebadged Opel "production" car.

These are in the pipeline. Whether they turn up at Detroit, Chicago, or New York remains to be seen, but I believe that's the Detroit lineup.

 

The 2008 Mitsu Lancer is supposed to be at NAIAS.

 

Honest question, Is there any plan for a new GTO concept or preproduction model debut?

 

Honest answer, no.

 

Certainly not this year.

 

I would think that the Malibu would want to take the show back after Toyota debuted the Camry in Detroit. If the Malibu is as great as everyone is pumping it up to be, it should be the main attraction really. Something to wash the bad taste after Toyota had the gaul to show the Camry in Motown.
Caddy should be kept for NY IMO, because that is where the bulk of the sales need to be, where E/5/A6 are in abudance. Chicago sounds like a good place to launch the Enclave. Saturn should dominate the LA show with hyrbids and performance, along with the Astra...and the Astra "concept" should be in full VXR trim, wheels, 6spd manual, and 265hp turbo 2.0 motor to really capture the So-Cal import tuner types. There is NO better place. There are just certain parts of this country where cars will get a better reaction, and Im thinking thats how it should be layed out. While im sure that the CTS will get a lot of praise if shown at Detroit, ANY American car will get more praise in Detroit. I think the return of a possible class-leading mid sized sedan should have the MAIN show all to itself, in the home of the American Car city.
CTS will have to work hard to get the real reaction of the New Yorkers and other Tri-Staters who could possibly be looking at this car to replace there German vehicles. THAT would be a victory.

 

Any news with Ford? Wasn't there suppose to be a new Boss Mustang or Mach 1? Just curious on what Ford might bring to the table.

 

Bullitt Mustang debut.

The new F-series is probally going to be shown since the rig will be on sale in just about a year afterwards.

The restyled Five Hundred and Focus should be there, and I'm guessing this new performance truck Ford I keep hearing Ford resurrected.

I'd expect at least 2 concepts from Ford, though I don't know exactly what they are going to actually show. Going by past experience and model scheduling, I'd say a future Lincoln vehicle since Mercury isn't getting anything else new till at least 2010 and Ford seems to have forgotten about Thunderbird, and a pie-in-the-sky vehicle.

Unless Ford throws in a Falcon Ute (very unlikely) that's about it.

 

coupe?

 

No, it will have a 455 cu inch Ecotec I4
