Highlights of the Detroit International Auto 1 Show

Script

The latest concept cars were unveiled at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit on Monday.

More than 700 cars featuring the latest styles and technology will be on display for public viewing from January 12th through the 21 st.

One of the cars on display, Honda’s pilot Sports Utility Vehicle, is made of an impressive 90 percent recyclable material. Designed to be family friendly, it has the largest cargo 2 and passenger loading capability 3 in its class.

Another of Honda’s concept cars, the Acura RD-X was created to perform well on both city and country roads. Targeting young urban professionals, the futuristic RD-X features rear seating that can be folded away to provide extra cargo room, power rear doors that open to the side, making it easy to load large items easily in even the tightest of spaces, and side doors that provide a large entryway in minimal 4 space.

The Mitsubishi Hybrid 5 Sports Pack was designed with the outdoors enthusiast 6 in mind. It features a waterproof 7 interior, a freshwater shower complete with retractable 8 shower head and refillable water tank built into the exterior 9, seat-mounted backpacks, and a convertible 10 top.

Another one of Mitsubishi’s concept cars, the Space Liner, was designed to use the car’s interior space in new ways to provide the most comfortable ride possible. Envisioned as a car of the future, it gets its power from fuel cells.

Carmaker Suzuki also provided its share of innovative 11 designs for this year’s show.
