Aston Martin

Vulcan

Aston Martin Vulcan 2 the Vulcan's unique brake lights

The Vulcan's rear lights consist of 82 separate orange shards lit individually via LED. Aston Martin Vulcan 1 The Vulcan was a world premier at the NYIAS. This sleek mint green sports car catches the eye in many ways. From its large spoiler to the unique brake lights, this vehicle will grab anyone's attention. Sadly, this is not street legal, so you have to save your excitement for the track.

Cadillac

2016 CT6

The all new 2016 Cadillac CT6 had its world Debut at the NYIAS. Aiming squarely at the 7 Series' driving dynamics and the S-Class' luxuriousness and class, Cadillac intends to make a serious mark in the largest class of luxury sedan.

This new engine, along with revised versions of the corporate 3.6 V6 and even the 2.0 turbocharged four-cylinder were shown, but Cadillac did not announce its planned twin-turbo V8 engine.

Chevrolet

2016 Malibu

[caption id="attachment_1051" align="aligncenter" width="1000"]chevy malibu 1 The hybrid version of the Malibu is estimated to get an average of 47 miles per gallon.[/caption] Chevrolet has gone full force with their 2016 Malibu. With the promise of 47 combined EPA miles per gallon, the reincarnated Malibu Hybrid has certainly raised the bar for mid sized hybrids. With its gorgeous lines, almost 4-inch longer wheelbase and top-notch safety equipment, Malibu may finally prove a tough act to follow. The first successful transplant of a design from a larger stablemate, the Malibu takes the blockbuster Impala's sheet-metal (named best car ever by Consumer Reports) and makes it look even better in 9/10ths scale. The relatively new 2.5 four-cylinder will be replaced with a 1.5 turbo as the base engine, showing a probable improvement of 1-2 MPG. The 2.0 turbo returns as the top power plant, slightly re-tuned, and now paired to an eight-speed transmission. The proof Chevrolet is not phoning in their new midsize sedan: even with a wheelbase stretched by almost four inches, the 2016 Malibu is about 300 pounds lighter.

2016 Spark

chevy spark 1The Chevy spark gets a significant redesign for the 2016 model year. Visually much the same as the 2015, it gets a longer wheelbase and other major structural improvements. It also gets more cargo space and many more available safety features, including Forward Collision Alert, Lane Departure Warning, and Side Blind Sport Alert. A 1.4 four-cylinder replaces the 1.2 and horsepower goes up by 14.

Ford

2016 Focus RS

ford focus RS WRX STI's are shaking in their boots (Evo's aren't scared; they're in hospice waiting for the plug to get pulled) over this beast from Europe. With all-wheel-drive and a promise of over 315 horsepower, the hot hatch segment is getting turned up to "incinerate." This third hot hatch from Ford completes the stair-step program: Fiesta ST (197 horsepower), Focus ST (252 horsepower), and now Focus RS (315+ horsepower).

Honda

Honda is representing it well with the new Honda Civic Concept. This bold coupe has a sporty look and a sharply defined design that will make this automobile very recognizable as it speeds by with its VTEC Turbo Engine. It's been 43 years and 10 generations of the Civic, and this proves that the road towards The Year of Honda will be one that we all want to drive on. Honda has been on a product tear lately. The present Civic was extensively redesigned in 2012, then re-redesigned in 2013 and 2014. With a new CR-V, HR-V, and Pilot, their SUV lineup is completely refreshed.
