We know that Scion has been experiencing a bit of a slump lately. So when we saw them in New York we were hoping to see something brilliant that would blow our minds and get us excited about what is to come. When we saw the concept that they had on display our minds were definitely blown away – but not in the good way.
Hybrid SUV’s are becoming quite popular in the market overseas – but when it comes to the United States they are finding it difficult to work their way into the hearts of consumers. Because of this automakers are seriously considering whether or not offering a gasoline-electric hybrid SUV will be worth the money and the risk.
Shelby and Ford are excited about celebrating the 40th anniversary with the production of the Shelby GT500KR that has the power to produce 540 horsepower. Ford was able to express this excitement at the New York Auto Show. Only a limited amount of these special cars were to be made – but it seems that plans have changed.
For months Suzuki has been showing us their Kizashi and Kizashi 2 concepts. We never knew exactly what plans that they had for these cars only that they sported some of the best designs that we would look forward to seeing on some of their future cars.
Ford seemed to keep things low key for most of the day at the New York Auto Show. They showed off their Transit Connect Taxi concept – which was the highlight of their show. While we were impressed with this concept we were looking for something that would attract and grab our attention.
