As U.S. automobile sales rebound, the world's automakers are betting big on next month's North American International Auto Show, with nearly 50 products slated to be unveiled at Detroit's newly renovated Cobo Center.
Most of these will be global reveals — cars and trucks making their worldwide debut.
More than 30 marques will be featured at this year's show, which is open to the public Jan. 19-27. A number of luxury brands are making their return, too, including Britain's Jaguar and Land Rover, and Italy's Ferrari and Maserati.
The Chinese will be back as well, represented by Guangzhou Automobile Group Corp., which will unveil a new car in Detroit.
"(The automakers) are all very excited about the show," vice chairman Bob Shuman said. "I think they're all very positive."
