Actually, we really do NOT need something like the Boulder.
The Hyundai rock thing is ugly with front of '80s Chevy or GMC pickup that had stacked rectangular light, and fender flares, rear end of Land Rover thing that is kind of popular right now, pretends to look like old Paris-Dakar rally vehicle
SUV is the soccer parent car that doesn't look cool at all!!!
Does anyone know what the most expensive cars were at the 2026 New York International Auto Show ?
More lifted AWD minivans please! Maybe a Honda Odyssey TrailSport. Also more sporty AWD minivans! Maybe a Acura van SHAWD Type S.
Dead App serious.
Is the new bmw i3 being shown at NY Auto Show 2026?
I don't think it's fair to call the Wilderness trims of Subaru vehicles like the Crosstrek, "Soft Roaders." They are surprisingly capable with 9.3 inches of ground clearance, mechanically linked AWD, and respectable approach and departure angles. If I was spending a lot of time off road, it would certainly be better than any comparably priced trim of a RAV4 or CRV for example.
There's a direct relation between the lack of CARS at the auto show in recent years and my personal attendance. It used to be a "can't miss" event for decades, going back to when me and my dad went together before I could drive. They were great shows once and now they are pretty uninspiring or even interesting to me. Now that manufacturers are increasingly having their own individual press events to introduce new cars, there's not a great reason to go…especially when major manufacturers like Honda aren't even showing up. I used to recommend people go to the auto show if they thought they might be shopping for a new car because it would be a really efficient way to sit in all the cars in one location.
Hard to get excited about the G90 Wingback when a) it's never coming here and b) if it's priced similarly to the G90 sedan, it would START at $92,000.
That G90 is as long as a 70's New Yorker.
The big question is will Stellantis (Jeep, Dodge, Chrysler, RAM) even be around next year. They are teetering on the edge of bankruptcy, still making seriously overpriced really crappy cars that have no after market support. Dealerships can't fix them even if they could get the parts. Why in the world isn't CR being honest with it's readership is beyond me. It certainly brings into question their credibility.
2003-2009 KIA sorento was a body-on-frame.
Make the g90
Who’s the StarTrek away team guy?
So sick of SUV after SUV after SUV. Cars, especially affordable ones, need to make a comeback. Also, NOTHING beats a minivan for families. Good performance, tons of cargo and passenger space, and convenience features (e.g. foldaway seats and power sliding doors).
That Genesis wagon is sick in emerald green, looks very sleek and iconic. Enjoy the show and thanks for the video!
Good to see Genesis was inspired by the Toyota Crown Signia to bring a sporty wagon 😊
An Auto Show in a city that doesn't even want you driving into.
Grizzly van.
Chrysler is just calling out all those drivers that want all the abilities of a van but just can't bring themselves to get one.
Does anyone know what the most expensive car will be at the 2026 New York Auto Show, and how much it will cost?
"Couch potato lifestyle" …… Marketing departments need this guy
Jeep Recon is interesting till you get to the $65K price an short EV range. It's about the same size and ground clearance of Rivian R2, but the Rivian has much better range and lower price.
regarding Minivans.. did you not get the memo on minivan sales being way up in 2025? 😁
The Uncharted should be a Hybrid they would sell more the it being an EV
Viewers would prefer to see more cars and less of the hosts. Perhaps they could have the hosts’ voices in the background and share more car footage on video?
I'm looking for a 2010 or earlier low mileage honda civic. No interest in a new car that must be serviced at the dealership and is tracking me.
Low participation is a bellweather,auto maker know the economy is about to tank for the average american.
Why market to a broke market?
