2007 New York Auto Show Index

New York’s auto show — this year, designated an International outing — opens to the media on April 4 with an increasing lineup of new production and concept vehicles.

Among the cars, trucks, SUVs, and concepts we’ve previewed for you already here at TheCarConnection, the list includes:

 

• The new Buick Supers, V-8 versions of the Lucerne and LaCrosse
• Saab’s concept E100, a bioethanol-fueled vehicle
• The new generation of Subaru Impreza/WRX in two distinct body styles
• The Cabriolet version of the Callaway C16
• Chevrolet's Trax, Groove and Beat concepts, all 1.0-liter city cars
• The new 2008 Jeep Liberty
• Hyundai’s Concept Genesis, the preview of its new rear-drive luxury sedan
• And a new Infiniti G37 Coupe and concept sport-ute
