The Detroit News is reporting group vice president and general manager for Toyota of the Americas, Bob Carter, has confirmed the 2010 Toyota Prius will be debuting at the 2009 Detroit Auto Show and will be joined by a uniquely styled and appointed version for Lexus. The Prius was set to move upmarket relative to its former iterations, but with a Lexus version now on the way, Toyota's own marketplace may be getting crowded. But the bigger story is how this news makes things far more interesting for January's Detroit Auto Show. galleryPost('ToyotaPriusSpy', 6, '2010 Toyota Prius Out Testing'); Jalopnik Snap Jugdement : Considering we'll be seeing two all-new dedicated hybrids from Toyota, the formal debut of the 2010 Honda hybrid , who knows what from Nissan , and with the first fully-formed Chevy Volt revealed just a couple months earlier, the 2009 Detroit Auto Show is setting up to be a serious, next-gen hybrid battle royal.

Despite recently aggressive posturing from the LA and New York Auto Shows, everybody knows the Detroit Auto Show is still the big kahuna in the North America, even Kiwis. New Zealand based Motoring.co.nz lays out some of the statistics of on of the Motor City's greatest assets in a recent article. Statistics like "enough carpet is laid in the Cobo convention centre to blanket 750 football fields and the exhibits alone will be worth $200-million". That's right!

var digg_url = 'http://digg.com/autos/Detroit_Auto_Show_2009_Cadillac_CTS_V_Coming_Officially'; We've been salivating over the thought of the upcoming 2009 Cadillac CTS-V for a good long while now, and the press release we just posted on the Provoq concept unveiling is also confirming the Caddy that zooms will be taking the stage for all to see at Detroit. We almost can't wait to see the ultimate expression of art and science (and Corvette power train) in the flesh, but we're just going to have to wait. We're guessing the Cadillac Provoq concept being released at CES will be enough to hold us over till then -- as we've only got a week left until the Detroit Auto Show -- but holding out for a four-door 'merican power sedan with a six-speed attached to a big V8 engine rumored to be delivering power of over 500 horses will be tough going. We've got spy photos below to keep you company until then and the full press release below the jump. galleryPost('2009cadillacctsvspy'...
