Fuel efficiency was the theme among many manufacturers at the 2010 New York International Auto Show (NYIAS), but power and performance were also available in abundance. Hyundai revealed a hybrid Sonata using a new lithium-polymer battery, while the Sonata 2.0T promises power and impressive fuel economy from a turbocharged inline-4. Reigning at the top of Hyundai's lineup is the new Equus flagship luxury sedan, which should give Mercedes-Benz and Lexus reason to pay attention. Sister automaker Kia showed a handsome new Optima and Sportage that look far more sophisticated than their predecessors. Mercedes brought the SLS GT3 supercar, tuned by AMG to take on Porsche and BMW on racetracks around the world. BMW displayed the new 5 and 7-Series sedans for its affluent NY clientele, as well as a mildly restyled 3-Series coupe. Mitsubishi quietly revealed the new Outlander Sport crossover, slotted below the current Outlander in size and price. The news at the Infiniti stand was the burly new QX56, which continues its tradition of bold styling and impressive V-8 power. Volvo's long-awaited S60 made the US debut at New York, after its international introduction in Geneva in March. Porsche and VW displayed hybrid versions of the new Cayenne and Touareg, respectively. The Cayenne hybrid uses a 3.0L supercharged V-6 coupled to an electric motor/battery drivetrain. Scion's new TC is more aggressively styled than the original, while the Scion iQ promises 4-passenger accommodations and the compact dimensions suited for tiny parking spaces. Cadillac's CTS-V wagon is an impressive addition to the model range, but likely will have limited appeal in the wagon-averse US. Nissan had the funky Juke powered by a small turbo-4 that promises fuel economy without sacrificing sporty performance. At the Acura display, the new TSX wagon is the perfect fit for customers who cherished Accord wagons from the 1990s. Lexus shipped over the compact CT200h hybrid, first shown in Geneva. Aside from a few hyper-expensive models, the 2010 NYIAS focused on affordable cars that would tempt buyers to head to dealerships, which is ultimately what an auto show is all about.
