For this blog post, I have chosen to write about another auto show. This auto show takes place in New York City, NY every year in early April. The show first began in the year 1900 and has been a huge success ever since. This year is the one-hundred and thirteenth anniversary of the New York International Auto Show. The New York International Auto Show is the oldest auto show in North America. Also, the New York International Auto Show is one of the biggest and most well known auto shows in all of North America. The New York International Auto Show has been referred to as the "Geneva Auto Convention of the Western Hemisphere." At this auto show, many new production and concept vehicles are announced and shown to the press as well as the public. Of the many production and concept vehicles announced at this year's New York International Auto Show, there were a select few that clearly stood out. These impressive new cars included the new Subaru WRX, the Jeep Cherokee, the Volkswagen GTI, the Mercedes CLA45 AMG, the Chevrolet Camaro Z28, the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible, and the Jaguar XKR-S GT, all of which are pictured above. All of the designs of these newer models have greatly improved in many ways since the previous models were released. The Subaru WRX is a completely new design, Subaru has changed the entire exterior look of the car to make it look more agressive; also, Subaru modified the engine to make more horsepower and be more economical. The Jeep Cherokee also has a completely new exterior design for 2014, and its transmission has been modified to get better acceleration and be more economical. Also, the new Volkswagen GTI has had very subtle cosmetic changes that can only be noticed by a true fan; furthermore, the engineers have decreased its weight significantly and it now has over 50 more lbs. of torque. The CLA45 AMG is an all new car that is based off of the Mercedes CLA, both of which have yet to be released, the CLA45 AMG is a much more track ready and powerful version of the new car. The Camaro Z28 is famous for being a very agressive and fast machine, and this new edition continues that legacy well with its large increase of horsepower and it agressive styling. The video below includes a tour of the New York International Auto Show.
