Ford and Cadillac SUVs and Toyota sports car star at auto show

- AP Detroit

SUVs and a big pickup truck will get top billing at Detroit’s auto show this year, but there are some surprise sports cars and electric vehicles on the agenda.

Press days for the show begin Monday, although there were a couple of unveilings held before the show started.

The most popular vehicle of the bunch is the Ford Explorer, revealed ahead of the show on Wednesday night at Ford Field, the home of the National Football League’s Detroit Lions.

Cadillac was set to show off its XT6, a smaller-than-a-truck, three-row family hauler at an event Sunday night. Toyota brings back the high-performanc­e Supra on Monday. The sports car developed a cult following when it was on the market from 1978 to 2002. Nissan and its Infiniti luxury brand plan to show two concept electric vehicles on Monday as well.

This year’s North American Internatio­nal Auto Show will take place in January for the final time. In 2020, it switches to June to escape the cold weather and show off more products outside, including self-driving vehicles.
