The 2019 North American International Auto Show in Detroit opened to the public on Saturday and runs through Jan. 27 — and although our crew of journalists covering the show preview found it to be relatively inconsequential in terms of exciting model debuts, it still managed to generate some big headlines. One of Cars.com’s most popular stories of the past week was a model comparison performed straight from the floor of the Detroit auto show, pitting a pair of resurrected-for-2019 SUV nameplates against one another: the Chevrolet Blazer and the Honda Passport.
