This year’s show is featuring lots of new models that American and foreign makers alike are hoping will jump start a badly stalled market and bring create something everyone now wants to see in the industry: profit.

The Detroit Auto Show, one of the most prestigious and anticipated annual automotive events in the world, opened on Sunday, January 11th in the midst of a critical industry-wide slow-down.
