Automakers' worries over the continuing fallout from the pandemic and a loan dispute between event organizers and authorities could jeopardize the auto show next year.

The show, which was initially set for early April and is typically used to unveil many new vehicles, was previously postponed until August.

The redesigned Grand Cherokee, the Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer, and a new three-row crossover are all on tap for 2021 releases, and would have generated headlines during the city's first summer show.

The company's 11th generation Civic and Acura MDX were expected to debut at the auto show in Detroit this year.
