Highlights From the 2014 New York Auto Show
Bigger and better than ever, the 2014 New York International Auto Show served as the launching pad for a long list of new, significantly changed, and slightly updated new car, truck, and SUV models. In the gallery that follows, listed in alphabetical order, are 20 of the most significant models to debut at this year's show.
2015 Acura TLX
Replacing the TSX and TL in Acura's lineup, the 2015 TLX sedan is offered with a 4-cylinder or V-6 engine, the latter available with all-wheel drive. New transmissions, driving dynamics systems, and safety technologies inspire Acura to call the 2015 TLX the most dynamically advanced car it has ever produced.
2015 Alfa Romeo 4C Launch Edition
Marking the official return of Alfa Romeo to the U.S. car market, the 4C Launch Edition is a limited-production version of the new lightweight, mid-engine sports car that presages a new lineup of U.S.-bound Alfas.
2016 Audi A3 Sportback
Audi says the A3 faithful are responsible for the return of a 5-door hatchback to the company's A3 lineup in the United States. Shown in New York in TDI Clean Diesel form, a plug-in hybrid version is also heading to the States.
Equipped with 4+1 seating, frameless glass for its four doors, and a power tailgate that raises to reveal nearly 50 cu. ft. of maximum cargo room, the new 4 Series Gran Coupe from BMW blends style, performance, and utility, especially in 435i format.

2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Convertible
Stuffed full of supercharged V-8, the new 625-horsepower Corvette Z06 Convertible is made possible by the sports car's stiff aluminum structure. The car in New York was the second one produced by Chevrolet. The first? That was in 1963, when one of 199 Corvettes produced with a Z06 option package was a convertible.

2015 Dodge Challenger
It might look the same on the outside, but the new Dodge Challenger benefits from a long list of mechanical and technological upgrades, coupled with a new interior that Dodge says is reminiscent of the 1971 Challenger.
