NEW YORK AUTO SHOW: Win, Place, Or Show, Who Was The Best Of The Week?

The New York Auto Show showed us all that that contrary to popular opinion the automotive market still has plenty of life left in it.  With the debut of several new models and the refreshing of a slew of staple products there was a bit for everyone this year. 

We even had some real excitement this year when our own Agent001 was booted by an embarrassed promoter from the show on opening day for posting a reader submitted image of the Acura ZDX one day before its grand debut.  It might have been bad enough that we posted the shot, but when our good friends over at Jalopnik took notice, the fire got significantly hotter.  So hot in fact the rumors swirled the Acura and Honda threatened to pull out of the show in protest for the security breach!  Now we might be more understanding if there was an embargo on the ZDX, but Acura never issued a single wisp of an embargo on the super secret ZDX.  But ejection from the show failed to stop the Auto Spies crew, because there always is a backup plan, and Agent001 wisely had other undercover operatives on site.

You can see the fruits of their efforts with some of the excellent shots currently in the New York Auto Show Gallery.  Check some of my favorites below, but take a look through and let us know what is your favorite.

I think the Hyundai Equus was the best new car at the show

Overall nothing really stands out. All of the above are fairly bland.

I think the Z convertable is best in show for me and perhaps the Fisker. The sedans and CUV's are either bland or ugly.

The biggest surprise and the most significant was the Grand Cherokee, in my opinion. Well thought out, beautiful inside and out and still has off-road capabilities. I just hope whoever owns Jeep next will be able to bring it to market.

I would have been most interested int the Mercedes BlueTEC concept E250 if it didn't come with the Adblue urea injection non-sense. An E-class with 39 MPG on the highway with 369ft lbs of torque is attractive. But that urea tank is a big turn-off.

Best all around vehicle shown was the 2010 LR4. I'd drive one off the lot in a heartbeat (just might be doing that in 2010!) Go anywhere, take seven friends or family plus all their stuff, superb power and safety. You just can't beat it for overall versatility and capability. Sorry, but most EVERYTHING else is just a pretender.
