Dear Ultimatecarpage.com visitor,

After our in-depth coverage posted earlier this week, it's now time to take a closer look at eight of the most exciting releases on display at the 2007 North American International Auto Show in Detroit. Cadillac released the next generation CTS to universal acclaim and received the first award not much later; the Eyes On Design Best Concept Implementation Award. Equally well received was the Jaguar C-XF, which combines subtle classic design cues with a very modern overall look. Replacing the S-Type next year, it could very well turn things around for the better for the British company.
Ford and Nissan took the wraps off two similar niche concept vehicles; the stylish Airstream and the not so stylish Bevel respectively. Continuing the roll-out of alternative fuel vehicles, GM upped the ante with the Chevrolet Volt Concept, which uses an ingenious drivetrain that is a clear improvement over current hybrid systems. Talking of hybrids, the Toyota FT-HS uses a 400 bhp hybrid drivetrain, packaged in a most striking coupe body.
For the fans of old fashioned American muscle cars, Chevrolet showed the Camaro Convertible Concept, destined for production in 2009. Dodge's 425 bhp Magnum SRT8 should hit the showroom floors in the second quarter.

Lexus LF-A and Mazda Ryuga not included in the top 8? Surely they are more exciting than the Airstream or Magnum.

Possibly the Mazda, but the LFA is already two years old so not including it in the new releases is not a great miss...

(And the Mazda had already been posted..)
