2007 New York auto show
By Kevin Massy
Coming less than three months after the big one in Detroit, the New
York International Auto Show used to be a peripheral event on the
automotive calendar. Not any more. We already know that New York is going
to be a bonanza event: General Motors alone has six production models
making their world premieres, plus a "closely guarded world concept," which
will follow on the heels of the Chevy Volt. Other new models on show will
be the all-new Infiniti G37 coupe, the Lexus LX570 luxobarge, and the
Suzuki SX4 sedan. On the performance-car front, we're going to be getting a first-hand preview
of the Honda S2000 CR, and a hands-on look at the Nismo-tuned Nissan 350Z, the
Ford Shelby GT500KR, and the Corvette-based Callaway C16 Cabrio. Other
highlights of the show include new concept cars from the likes of Hyundai
and Infiniti, the results of the automotive journalists' 2007 world car of
the year, and all the latest roadworthy gadgetry from the world of Car
Tech. We'll be on-site at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in Manhattan to
bring you blogs, videos, and photos of all the show-stopping action live
from New York.
AUTO SHOW SPOTLIGHT Chevrolet's minicar concepts
Chevy is using the 2007 New York auto show to launch three concept cars. The Trax, the Beat, and the Groove are the forerunners to a Chevy production minicar that will be here by the end of the decade.
