The new York motor show comes around quite quickly. After all, the automotive world hasn’t precisely had time to settle down since the new VW Golf GTI as well as Ferrari LaFerrari were introduced to the world at the Geneva motor show just weeks ago.
And while new York may not rather have the cache of new metal that we saw on Geneva, America’s longest-running motor show definitely deserves your attention.

This year’s line-up includes more than a couple of noteworthy world debuts, however the most interesting newcomer is the new 2013 variety Rover Sport. We’ve already seen the vehicle undisguised in a set of spy shots however we’re waiting on the interesting details that will verify Land Rover has got one more champion on its hands.
Then there’s the Mercedes CLA 45 AMG, the stylish saloon sibling to the bonkers-fast A45 AMG, which was star of the Mercedes stand at Geneva. It’s got the exact same 355bhp 2.0-litre turbo as well as four-wheel drive, as well as can introduce from 0-62mph in just 4.6 seconds.
The questionable Jeep Cherokee is set to be a huge draw, too, with may show-goers excited to see what it appears like in the flesh. After all, it’s styling has already prompted a fair amount of discussion. What’s specific is that it will be one of the most capable off-road vehicles we’ve ever seen.
Jaguar will be showcasing exactly how it does performance, with a new XJR variant of its flagship limousine. featuring the 5.0-litre supercharged V8 from the XKR-S, we’re expecting 0-62mph in around 4.5 seconds as well as a cost of well over £100,000.
Let’s not fail to remember new York is an American show, though, so home-grown designs are plentiful. Cadillac will be unveiling its new BMW 5 series rival, the CTS, which we’re likely to see on UK roads in a couple of years’ time, as well as Chevrolet will be pulling the wraps off a facelifted version of its Camaro muscle mass car.
There are still lots of new York debuts that we don’t understand about, though, including a performance idea vehicle courtesy of Subaru that might well preview the next-generation Impreza WRX.
