It’s been two great days. For me, the New York Auto Show is an annual two-day escape from the reality of my day job and my family. I love going there, seeing everything, and talking to a lot (but not all) the people there. Like any vacation, it’s never long enough. See you next year, Javits Center.
This is the last photo dump. We didn’t cover everything as that’s impossible for two people, but we did cover what we thought was interesting. Enjoy the pics, all feedback is always appreciated.
Aerodynamics become crucial at high speeds
Still one of my favorite off-roaders, now on proper tires too. Honest and simple, get them while you can.
Lipstick on a pig. Bad lipstick… really, really bad lipstick.
Downstairs was full of so-called “tuner cars” – meh.
Question – at what point does a pickup truck become a really big truck? This thing was huge!
New RAM van. Similar in concept to the Transit, oh so Euro, too.
Got to say, this side door opening to superior to any previous full-size American van.
Oh so Euro dash… it’s about time.
Bro!!!…
Gotta go Ace Ventura driving this…
Subaru’s first hybrid. I recently reviewed the XV Crosstrek and liked it a lot. This hybid version seemed even more jacked-up.
GM had its own pavilion, over to the side. I heard many-a-auto-journo complain about how far it was from the rest of the show. Waaahhh….
Jeff’s fav vehicle at the show.
Gotta say… very handsome. 420hp TT V6 is impressive too.
LED all the cars!!!!
LED all the trucks!!!
Chevy SS. I love it. I loved the G8 too, and this is more handsome. And yes, I love how understated it is. Remember the original M5? Wolf in sheep’s clothing… same idea here. I’ll take mine in black.
Great seats, much improved interior over the G8. What’s not to like?
Again… understated. In the days when everything is wild and crazy, this is a welcome change.
Is this the SS, the Impala, or the Malibu?
Exactly…
She was very nice. The car wasn’t bad either.
In hind side, I should have invited her to our Hooniverse/Blip-shift meet-up as I would have loved to see Jack Baruth in action.
Chevy Volt hardware but tuned for more power. Great looks too.
This was in the truck of the Caddy ELR. Usually you see sixteen switches there, but I guess nine will work too.
Yes. Want. Gimme.
Gotta say… it’s an interesting concept.
How do you get all the journalists in the show to come to your press conference which is about a face-lift on a low-volume model? You hire Tom Colicchio, of Bravo’s TopChef (ask your wife/girlfriend if you don’t know), to make appetizers and have an open bar. John Krafcik, and his team, is a genius. I couldn’t even get to the Equus.
I hope you enjoyed our coverage of the show. It was mostly just Jeff and I, and it really is as much fun as it seems… but it really is a lot of running around too. While some full-time real autojournos will complain about attending shows such as this… well, they need to STFU. They’re wrong. And if they don’t like what they’re doing, there are plenty other real jobs out there which could to complain about.
