DETROIT, Jan. 5, 2004 -- Muscle cars, minicars, sports coupes and specialty vehicles. There's quite literally something for everyone on display at this year's North American International Auto Show. And you'll find complete, as-it-happens coverage on TheCarConnection.com.

Two of America's icons took their bows in all new form, the Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Corvette, along with some surprising high-performance contenders. Need to launch from 0-60 in 2.9 seconds? Check out the Chrysler ME 412, an 800-horsepower, mid-engine supercar, as well as the Ford Shelby Cobra Concept. Show cars? For now, but TheCarConnection has details on how these and other Detroit concepts could soon see production.

That list includes one of this year's hits, the Chevy Nomad, a modern interpretation of the revolutionary, 1954 concept vehicle. Nomad and the Saturn Curve are two of several possible spin-offs of the 2005 Pontiac Solstice, which is back in production trim.

Detroit dominates the truck market, but TCC will show you what weapons the Japanese are ready to roll out, including Honda's functional new Sport-Utility Truck and Toyota's absolutely massive new FTX full-size pickup.

For those just looking for a solid family car, there are plenty of possibilities on display at the 2004 NAIAS, including Ford's spacious Five Hundred sedan and Freestyle crossover. And Pontiac has transformed its G6 from concept to production vehicle.
