The Chicago Auto Show provided a sneak peek at 2010 and even 2011 models before they begin to roll into dealerships. Consumer Reports was on hand to learn about these new vehicles and share candid first impressions. Over the media days, we saw a variety of near-production models and concept cars.

For our online coverage, we cut through the hype to present our insights on the most-significant vehicles. Those that have appeared at prior shows will not be repeated, though additional info and photography for production models may be found in our New Car Preview.
