The North American International Auto Show is the biggest event of the year for the American auto industry. It's the time when Ford, GM, Chrysler, and all the foreign brands that want to sell their cars here gather in Detroit to show off their best work. The fastest sports cars. The strongest pickup trucks. The most family friendly people haulers.
The show opens to the public this weekend, and everyone willing to spend $13 and suffer Detroit in the snow will be able to get up close to some of the newest and coolest cars on the planet. As usual, Cobo Hall is stuffed with more than 500 cars, so it's hard to know where to start.
To help guide you through the show, the biggest in the country, we've selected the 11 coolest cars on display. From the spectacularly ludicrous Ford GT supercar, to the Chevy concept that could beat Tesla in the race to build a practical electric, to the bonkers Mercedes-Benz concept that imagines a future where humans are just passengers, click through our gallery to see what's best in Detroit in 2015.
