The New York Auto Show struck some folks as being overly "green," thanks to the number of hybrids hitting the streets.  Volvo and Subaru, however, had some vehicles designed to appeal to the baser natures of many drivers.

Bentley and Mercedes brought the glamor to the New York Auto Show, with new high-dollar, high-performance vehicles.

It's not often that you'll see BMW and Kia mentioned in the same headline, but the evolutionary new 5-Series and revolutionary 2011 Optima deserve equal billing.

In New York, Acura announced plans to join the sport wagon market, while Cadillac upped the performance ante with a cargo-hauling CTS-V.

It was a green week in New York, as half a dozen new hybrids were unveiled.  Manufacturers like Volkswagen, Porsche and Lincoln will join the hybrid-electric party for the first time in 2011.
