Yahoo Autos 6 Most Significant Debuts of the 2014 New York Auto Show
Heavy on the glitz, often corrupted by horsepower, and rife with carnal temptation, auto shows can be a hard place for a mid-priced, high-volume model to make its mark. But to dismiss them entirely would be a mistake, as it’s on the backs of these less-glamorous models where the majority of automakers trade, filling their coffers and honing efficiencies in design and production. So while the vehicles outlined here might not light enthusiast fires, they serve as a compass for the near future (and even the past) of their respective brands-and the industry as a whole.
Much has been made of Acura’s meandering quest for a strong identity. The new TLX rolls onto the scene as the instrument for bringing the company’s amorphous image into sharper focus. The star of Acura’s New York show, the TLX replaces both the TSX and the TL, preserving the TL’s wheelbase but with an all-new body shell that the company says is both stiffer and lighter.

This morning, on the first media day of the New York auto show, Hyundai took the wraps off the 2015 Sonata.

Land Rover Discovery Vision Concept
Land Rover is proud of its sturdy Discovery SUV. Through 25 years and four makeovers (the last two rebranded it in America as the LR3 and LR4), The Discovery has never strayed too far from its rugged roots.

2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Convertible Debuts: Hot Z06 Performance, Droptop Body
In a desert some 20 years ago, Blazer-driving baddies were chasing Paul Hogan, who easily outmaneuvered them with his Australian accent and the “world’s first sport-utility wagon.” Those early TV commercials for the Subaru Outback, little more than a jacked-up Legacy wagon, were prophetic. Looking at the car-based crossovers saturating today’s SUV market, it’s no wonder the Outback has lasted five generations. READ FULL STORY ››
The Camry has been America’s bestselling car for 12 years running, cashing in on a reputation for reliability, value, and unobtrusive motoring. But the Camry name is not one you’re not likely to hear when hotshoes get together to talk cars, unless it’s accompanied by a yawn. READ FULL STORY ››
