2008 New York International Auto Show

The NYIAS is a great opportunity to see the latest new vehicles from American, Asian, and German manufacturers, and this year was no exception. Dodge brought all three versions of the hot Challenger coupe. Hyundai showed its RWD Genesis coupe, which should be popular with sport tuners on a budget. Audi's A4 Avant wagon made its first appearance on this side of the Atlantic. BMW's stunning Concept CS sedan was shown for the first time in the US, while the M3 convertible arrived just in time for the spring season. Mercedes-Benz unveiled a broad selection of AMG models that combine stratospheric performance with breathtaking sticker prices. A heavily revised Lamborghini Gallardo now offers even more horsepower with cleaner styling. Bentley's Brooklands Coupe is an imposing 2-door for the wealthy few. Nissan and Scion showed different interpretations of the boxy subcompact with the Denki Cube and Haku, respectively. Honda revealed a new Fit subcompact that should be even more popular than before. The sleek Maxima finally regained its status as Nissan's style leader. Finally, Saleen's surprising S5S sports car was a real show-stopper, with styling worthy of an Italian exotic.
