New York Auto Show

Spyker will take to the Javitz Center in Manhattan next week with its new, Audi-powered C8 Preliator supercar. The car is big news for Spyker as it is the detail-oriented Dutch brand's third-generation sports car, and New York is a fitting place. Spyker CEO Victor Muller said in a release that about half of the brand's sales are in the United States, and that the company's first dealership on local soil was Manhattan Motor Cars. The C8 Preliator formally bowed earlier this month at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show. Powered by a 525-horsepower Audi-sourced V-8 engine, the Preliator is an update of...

Koenigsegg heading to New York Auto Show with Regera, One:1
Koenigsegg has never had a major presence in the United States as its cars were never homologated for local sale. That changed late last fall when Koenigsegg announced its Agera RS had been fully federalized. The first U.S.-spec Agera RS is currently being built and is expected to be ready in the...

2017 Buick Encore leaked ahead of New York Auto Show
That Buick's pint-size crossover was due for a refresh comes as little surprise, but we bet the folks in Detroit would rather we not have seen the 2017 Encore until its formal debut later this month at the 2016 New York Auto Show. Instead, the updated 2017 Buick Encore has leaked onto Chinese...

Mazda has confirmed plans to debut a new model at the 2016 New York Auto Show taking place later this month. No details have been provided other than this being a “world premiere” and a car that will “blow the lid off.” That latter descriptor suggests that the car in...

2017 Acura MDX Getting Aggressive Look, 2016 New York Auto Show Debut
The Acura MDX is a competent, mid-size luxury SUV with plenty of technology, impressive levels of refinement and a reasonable price tag. What generations of the MDX have tended to lack is dynamic styling to let them stand out from the crowd. That should change with the arrival of the 2017 model...

The Scion small-car brand serves as a testing ground for Toyota in everything from how to market accessories to how to recast the role of dealerships in the sales process. While it’s been a success in that—as a ‘laboratory,’ as executives are eager to call it—a sales success it is not. The brand, which was launched in California in 2003 and nationwide in 2004, sold more than 150,000 vehicles in the U.S. back in 2005 and 2006; then it plunged to less than a third of that by 2010, and it’s made only a slight recovery post-recession. Complicating the situation...

Lyons Motor Car Brings LM2 Streamliner ‘Concept’ To New York
When Lyons Motor Car failed to show up as promised with its LM2 Streamliner supercar concept at the April 1 opening day for the 2015 New York Auto Show, many put this down to the whole affair being one giant April Fools’ Day stunt. After all, Lyons was only established in 2011 and yet is...

The Jaguar XF started the styling revolution at the British brand, the one that started after it split from Ford. But now the XF is the oldest vehicle in the lineup—and the only one with a body still made mostly of steel. No more. Say hello to the 2016 Jaguar XF, a new mid-size luxury sedan...

Lincoln has given us a concept previewing its sedan to replace the MKS, which will revive the automaker’s storied “Continental” nameplate when it goes on sale early next year. It’s been criticized for borrowing styling cues from a handful of contemporary cars, but it’s still hugely satisfying in many ways, at least for those with automotive aesthetic tastes that span the better part of the last century. The McLaren 570S Coupe, the first member of the British automaker’s entry-level Sports Series range, has been revealed. As expected, the car’s...
