2015NewYorkInternationalAutoShow
Luxury cars and the fuel regulations
Even thought the New York show is the oldest
car show in North America, it can get
overlooked next to the Detroit, Los Angeles,
and Chicago shows. This year, however, New
York played host to a number of big debuts.
When Cadillac announced in January that New
York would be the backdrop for the introduction
of their new flagship CT6, the gauntlet had
been thrown down. But it wasn’t until the first
week of April when the relevance of the show
came into focus.
Luxury cars were front and center for the 2015
NYIAS. Cadillac’s full-sized CT6 introduces the
new senior platform and Cadillac’s exclusive
3.0L twin-turbo V6. Across town rival Ford stole
GM’s thunder by surprising the audience with
the new Lincoln Continental concept and the
brand’s new styling direction. Other new and
revised luxury models were introduced by
Rolls-Royce, Lexus, Mercedes-Benz, Infiniti,
BMW, and Porsche. But it’s not like the luxury
cars of years past.
Instead of burly big-displacement V8 engines
motivating over-weight land yachts, these new
models are fuel efficient and trim. Starting with
the Cadillac CT6’s new Omega platform blends
aluminum and high strength steel to make a big
car that weighs less than the mid-sized
competition, while choices under the hood
range from a 400hp six-cylinder down to a
turbocharged four-cylinder. Lincoln’s sedan also
gets nothing larger than a turbo 3.0L V6.
As manufacturers plan for their future models,
American fuel regulations are playing the
greatest role in history. When past regulations
might have limited the variations or engines
offered, stronger fuel economy rules create
whole new powertrains targeting just the US.
To reach previously unreachable goals, more
and more models are offering electric-only,
hybrid, and even the return of diesel engines.
Plug-in hybrids from BMW and Mercedes-Benz
boost fuel economy numbers to near regulated
goals, years ahead of schedule.
The New York show has introduced the world to
many new vehicles over the last century and,
as the industry’s last car show of the season,
manufacturers want to take the chance to
quench the appetite for cars and trucks until
fall.

World Car of theYear
2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
After taking third in the European Car of the Year competition (behind
the winning Volkswagen Passat and 2nd place Citroen C4 Cactus), the
award of the Mercedes-Benz C-Class as World Car of the Year was a bit
of a surprise.
Mercedes-Benz did a great job with the latest generation C-Class.
Riding on Mercedes-Benz’ new Modular Rear Architecture (MRA)
platform, the car is positioned for the future. The MRA platform
decreases the vehicle’s weight while allowing Mercedes-Benz to create a
larger number of models from this one architecture including the GLC
(replacing the GLK) and the next-generation E-Class.
