A large portion of this year’s edition of the 2018 North American Auto Show actually took place before the show floor opened up to we members of the media. Despite a rather short press day, the Detroit Auto Show still had plenty for us to take in.
Here are our Top 10 reveals from this year’s big Motown Auto Salon:
Acura RDX
New 2.0-liter turbo 4-pot, 10-speed autobox and more room. Should continue as the brand’s best-seller.
Chevrolet Silverado
Six powertrains, eight trims, longer, taller and wider, this full-size is ready for war.
Ford Mustang Bullitt
Based on a GT but with “at least” 475 horsepower. The right color, so effortlessly cool.
Ford Ranger
EcoBoost power and a 10-speed autobox. If Ford got this right, they will kill in the segment.
Honda Insight
A hybrid that’s as close to being a range-extended EV as possible.
Hyundai Veloster
The return of the quirky little 3+1-door sporty car with a dose more attitude.
Kia Forte
Taking styling hints from the Stinger and with a standard 8” touchscreen. Pretty and loaded.
Mercedes G-Class
It’s very much new, Scout’s honor. New suspension, new transmission but all badass.
RAM 1500
Refined, handsome, and with eTorque mild hybrid technology. 2018 will be the year of the truck!
Toyota Avalon
For those looking the Camry+ experience. Still lovely on the outside and now with more tech.
