Payne: The Dandy Dozen, Detroit Auto Show 2026 highlights

Detroit — Brave the ice outside, come see the ICE inside the 2026 Detroit Auto Show.

From muscle cars to trucks to off-road dirt-kickers, ICE vehicles are the stars of the show. Even Aston Martin brought a quartet of its greatest ICE hits. Not that EVs have gone away. General Motors Co. is still bullish, with electrics fronting the Chevy display — and you can take test rides on a dedicated EV track.
