The first media day of the 2011 North American International Auto Show has come to a conclusion. This year's show was marked with high points and a few disappointments but overall it is getting back on track. Porsche did not make their return to NAIAS a quite one, they brought what is one of the most gorgeous cars I have seen in some time, the 918 RSR. The body of the car is modified from the 918 Spyder and is powered by the technology from the 911 GT3 R hybrid race car. Other highlights included the New Audi A6, BMW 1 Series M, New VW Passat and Hyundai Veloster to name a few. Please have a look at the slide show for a quick view from some of today's events. Over the next few days hundreds more photos will be added and new cars highlighted.

The concept car was called the NMS or New Midsize Sedan, but the veil of secrecy around the name of the Passat replacement has been beyond odd for the auto industry. Sure, many companies use a name for a concept and then a different name for the production model, but VW’s history with odd names has us a bit concerned.
Come Monday we’ll all learn what that new name is … oh, and see the completely new car, too. This model will replace the Passat in the VW lineup, and it will likely look similar to the new Jetta, which has seen strong sales despite lukewarm reaction from the automotive press.
If you could name VW’s new sedan, what would you name it?
