You might expect the NAIAS, that granddaddy of domestic auto shows, to lose some of its swagger in 2008, as a shaky domestic economy, rising CAFE standards, and stratospheric fuel prices are giving the indigenous car industry the biggest Cleveland Steamer it has had in decades. Don't worry, though: Carmakers are still planning the big Broadway-style productions in Detroit this year as though nothing has changed. Yes, a few brands such as Infiniti are planning for a low-key show, and Porsche has pulled out entirely. But Cobo Hall will still be packed full of significant, green-tinted, and often powerful new vehicles, not to mention a few new Chinese fascias. Five Chinese manufacturers will show up in Motown, each bearing their own decapitory and derivative $6500 leather-lined luxury sedan that will burst into flames at first crank. But we kid the Chinese.

Here is where you'll find Motive's full coverage and galleries from the show floor. Stay tuned this Sunday through Tuesday for constant updates.
