New Car Tracker: 1.29.08

We’re now smack dab amidst two major auto shows: Detroit’s in January and Chicago’s in early February. That means we have a lot of new models that were introduced, along with when we expect them to go on sale. Here we track as many as we can think of, and we always welcome reader feedback on any cars you don’t see here that you want info on.
