January2017AutoShowReview
The End of the Car Show (As We Know It)?
Each New Year’s celebration accompanies
wide-eyed hope that the coming twelve months
will offer something new and promising. In the
couple weeks that follow, two industry shows do
the same thing for professionals who follow the
electronics and automotive markets. CES in
Las Vegas and NAIAS in Detroit are those
shows where thousands of journalists and
hundreds of thousands of consumers visit to
see what will be on their wish lists.
As has been the pattern for the last few years,
CES stole much of NAIAS’ automotive thunder
with automakers pandering to the digital crowd
where venture capitalists and speculators have
boosted the shares of many businesses touting
vaporware to near blue chip levels. If only the
Fiat Chrysler’s and Volkswagen’s of the world
could get some of that unbridled optimism
behind their stock prices.
With their focus directed toward Las Vegas, the
automotive industry seems to have taken its
eye off the “hometown” ball. NAIAS, more than
a quarter century after becoming an
“international” auto show, is sadly lacking for
new products. Major brands such as Jaguar
Land Rover decided to not show any product at
NAIAS while Fiat Chrysler’s introduction was
held a week earlier at CES with no press
introduction at all during NAIAS’ media launch,
this was especially depressing since, for years,
Chrysler was known for their spectacular
NAIAS launches (which included literally
smashing through the glass at Cobo Hall with a
new Grand Cherokee and leading an actual
cattle drive through Detroit).
The overwhelming theme at this year’s show
was “ho-hum.”
Volkswagen took the deafening silence as invite
to step up is mea culpa world tour and
introduce the ID Buzz concept, which is
expected to lead to a production electric
vehicle. Nissan brought out a true concept
(Nissan Vmotion 2.0) as a hint toward its future
styling direction for the whole brand. And Kia, of
all brands, made the most noise with its near-
luxury, rear-drive Stinger performance hatch on
its march upscale.
For an industry celebrating another record
sales year, you couldn’t tell from NAIAS
displays.
Special Report: Auto Shows

January 2017
NorthAmerican Car of theYear
2017 Chevrolet Bolt EV
Hyundai and Volvo offered legitimate luxury
cars, but it was the affordable electric from
General Motors that couldn’t be beat. With its
200+ mile range, the Bolt EV gives the public
the promise of next year’s Tesla Model 3 but
makes it available this year. Priced, after
incentives, below $30,000, the Bolt EV has
very few competitors and it will make other
automakers step up their game.
2017 Genesis G90 2017 Volvo S90

January 2017
NorthAmerican Utility of theYear
2017 Chrysler Pacifica
A new category this year, “utility” of the year
removes crossovers and minivans from the car
and truck groups as they have become their own
subgroups. The fourth generation of minivans
from the creator of the genre brings together
over 30 years of experience, adding an 84 mpge
hybrid version as well as upping the quality of
the people carrier.
2017 Mazda CX-9 2017 Jaguar F-Pace

January 2017
NorthAmerican Truck of theYear
2017 Honda Ridgeline
Repeating its award from its introduction 11
years ago, the new Ridgeline has two more
NATOTY trophies than either the Titan or
SuperDuty. While the runners-up take the
traditional approach to pickups, the Ridgeline
combines unibody structure with novelties
such as an in-bed speaker and storage along
with car-like ride and fuel economy making it
a true standout in this field.
2017 Ford SuperDuty 2017 Nissan Titan

January 2017
BMW
2018 BMW 5-Series
•Turning 35 years old this year,
the 5-Series is one of BMW’s
most important model lines
•Now in its 7th generation, the 5-
Series loses over 100 lbs by
increasing the use of aluminum,
high-strength steel, and
magnesium
•Styling is, as is BMW tradition,
evolutionary while technology, as
should be expected, is cutting
edge with Gesture Control and
the latest version of BMW’s
iDrive user interface
•Powertrains include BMW’s 248hp 2.0L turbo four, 335hp 3.0L inline six,
and 456hp 4.4L twin-turbo V8 as well as the plug-in hybrid model which
allows for 14 electric-only miles and 0-60 times in the low 6-second range
2017NorthAmericanInternationalAutoShow

January 2017
Daimler
2018 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe
•Based on the newest E-Class
sedan, the coupe adds even
more style to the mid-sized
model
•Like earlier versions, the E-
Class Coupe removes the
frames from the windows for a
hardtop silhouette and easier
conversion to the convertible
version to be added later
•Nearly five inches longer than
the previous version
•First edition announced to be the E400 with a 392hp twin-turbo 3.0L V6
mated to a nine-speed automatic transmission

January 2017
FaradayFuture
2017 Faraday Future FF91 Concept
•In order to prove its existence,
Faraday Future had a running
“beta” prototype available to the
media at this year’s CES
•As would be expected by a
vehicle of this type, the FF91
sports an automated self-parking
system (including the ability to
find a parking space), 10
cameras, 13 radar sensors, and
a retractable lidar system
necessary for autonomous
driving
•Fully electric, the FF91 has three motors and all-wheel drive to harness
the claimed 1,050hp available
2017ConsumerElectronicsShow(CES)

January 2017
FiatChrysler
2017 Chrysler Portal Concept
•Since “millennials” will hate the
popular and award-winning
Chrysler Pacifica minivan, FCA
specifically targeted these youth
buyers with the Portal concept
•With six seats spread across
three rows, the Portal is the
people carrier of the future
•Fully electric, the Portal was
designed to be autonomous and
allow passengers full use of all of
their devices, once the steering
wheel and pedals retract into the
instrument panel
•FCA claims the batteries can be charged for a 150-mile range in just 20
minutes while the 100kw-h lithium ion battery pack can propel the front-
drive concept over 250 miles on a full charge

January 2017
GeneralMotors
2018 Chevrolet Traverse
•The second generation
Traverse revises the styling and
makes more interior space for
passengers
•While not adding any significant
length (about 0.6 inches), the
Traverse adds about two inches
to the wheelbase and about four
cubic feet of cargo room
•New lighting adds LEDs to the
front and rear along with new RS
and High Country trim levels
•Updated 3.6L DOHC V6 gains 10% more hp and is mated to the new
nine-speed automatic; a new 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder is offered in
the RS trim

January 2017
GeneralMotors
2018 GMC Terrain
•Smaller dimensions (five inches
shorter in length) of the second-
generation Terrain makes room
for the smaller Acadia
•The compact Terrain keeps its
five-seat/two-row interior design
with all positions (except for the
driver) offering fold-flat capability
•New interior sports 7- or 8-inch
infotainment systems with Apple
CarPlay and Android Auto
systems, OnStar 4G LTE wifi
•Three turbocharged four-cylinder engines are offered including the 1.5L,
more powerful 2.0L, and upcoming turbodiesel, all mated to a nine-speed
automatic in either front-drive or all-wheel drive formats

January 2017
GuangzhouAuto
2017 GAC EnSpirit Concept
•As China’s Guangzhou
Automotive Group prepares for
their debut in the US, GAC
moved onto the main floor of the
NAIAS for the first time
•The EnSpirit concept
showcases GAC’s crossover
intentions in a sporty, modern
package
•Inside, the Enspirit features
tasteful wood trim throughout as
well as two large skateboards
mounted in the cargo hold floor
•Hybrid power is provided by an Atkinson-cycle 1.5L four-cylinder gas
engine mated to an electric motor with plug-in ability and a claimed
electric-only range of up to 50 miles

January 2017
GuangzhouAuto
2017 GAC GE3 Concept
•Coming soon in production form
to China, the fully-electric GE3
showcases GAC’s intentions
•One electric motor generates
120kw (about 160hp); with its 47
kw-h lithium ion battery pack, the
GE3 is expected to travel up to
190 miles on a single charge and
shoot to 100 km/h (62 mph) in
about 9.3 seconds
•In China, the production version
is expected to sell for less than
US$18,000 after all incentives

January 2017
GuangzhouAuto
2018 GAC GS7
•Topping GAC’s range of
crossovers, the GS7 will go on
sale in China shortly
•Riding on a 107-inch wheelbase
and stretching to 186 inches in
length, the GS7 would fit into the
American two-row crossover
market fairly easily
•Unlike many of the other new
introductions, the new GAC’s
short wheelbase-long body
design won’t take advantage of
the new emissions laws, but
quick turnover in Chinese
designs will remedy that in a
generation
•Power comes from a 198hp 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder engine with
start/stop mated to a 6-speed automatic transaxle powering all four wheels

January 2017
Honda
2018 Honda Odyssey
•With fewer players in the field,
the minivan market has become
very competitive, which is why
this is the fifth generation Honda
minivan in the nameplate’s
relatively short life
•New interior features a new
digital instrument cluster, new
infotainment system, a full array
of cameras, and Honda’s new PA
system which allows the driver to
talk to passengers even when
they are listening to movies
through headphones
•Honda’s 3.5L SOHC V6 gains 32hp and is mated to a choice of ZF nine-
speed or Honda dual-clutch 10-speed automatic transaxles, which should
increase fuel economy over the old 6-speed version

January 2017
Hyundai-Kia
2018 Kia Stinger
•Perhaps the most noteworthy
introduction of the NAIAS, the
Kia Stinger signifies Kia’s
intention to move upmarket
•Expected to enter production
before the end of the year
•Based on Hyundai’s new rear-
wheel drive platform (to be
shared with the upcoming
Genesis G70), the Stinger is a
four-door hatchback riding on a
114.4-inch wheelbase and
intended to target the likes of
BMW’s 4-Series Gran Coupe
•Available with rear-wheel or all-wheel drive, the Stinger will be offered
with a choice of a turbocharged 255hp 2.0L four-cylinder or a twin-turbo
365hp 3.3L V6 with an 8-speed automatic transmission

January 2017
Renault-Nissan
2017 Infiniti QX50 Concept
•Designed to replace the rear-
drive based QX50, the concept
showcases the new front-drive
platform
•Six inches shorter than the
outgoing model, the new QX50
removes three inches from the
wheelbase as the wheels get
pushed to the corners
•Among the new features, the
QX50 sports Nissan’s ProPilot
system which allows for limited
self-driving capabilty
•Offered on a number of Infiniti models, the turbocharged 268hp 2.0L four-
cylinder is shared with Mercedes-Benz

January 2017
Renault-Nissan
2017 Nissan Vmotion 2.0 Concept
•Just as the brand completes its
move to the “Vmotion” styling,
Nissan updated the theme and
will begin the shift toward the
second generation of the look
•Taking the “V” front end styling
as a starting point, the “V” lines
run down the sides and the
“floating roof” pinched c-pillar
window is enhanced and slides
down along the roofline toward
the rear of the car
•Interior trim adopts the transition toward eventual autonomous driving
with a smaller steering wheel and fewer driver controls
•As with many new products, Nissan is moving toward the longer
wheelbase/shorter body design, opening up the cabin and extending the
footprint

January 2017
Renault-Nissan
2017 Nissan Rogue Sport
•Nissan’s top-selling model in the
US is the Rogue, bouncing on
and off the monthly top ten list
•Designed to improve those
numbers further, the foot-shorter
Rogue Sport allows Nissan to
better compete in the
subcompact crossover market
•Sold elsewhere as the Qashqai,
this model is among Nissan’s
best-selling nameplates in the
world
•Like the larger Rogue, the Rogue Sport is powered by a 141hp 2.0L four-
cylinder engine with a CVT powering either the front or all four wheels

January 2017
Toyota
2018 Lexus LS
•Nearly three decades after
Toyota introduced the Lexus
brand (and LS model) at the
Detroit show, they used the show
to debut the fifth generation of
the top-of-the-line sedan
•The new platform and
powertrain drops about 200
pounds while retaining all of its
length
•Styling takes a more athletic approach than earlier versions of the LS with
its long and low look running from the “spindle” grille to the ornate taillight
design
•Standard power comes from the new twin-turbocharged V6 producing
415hp; with its 10-speed automatic transmission, fuel economy is
expected to rise over the previous 4.6L V8 and acceleration times are
expected to drop to 4.5 seconds

January 2017
Toyota
2018 Toyota Camry
•Toyota’s top selling model and
the best-selling car in the US
gets its biggest upgrade in years
•Moving to the new platform, the
company expects its Toyota New
Global Architecture (TNGA) to
underpin almost all front-drive
models over the next few years
•While the design was described
as everything from attractive to
boring, the new look is definitely
an evolution of the traditional
Camry look
•TNGA adds two inches to the wheelbase while the length grows just over
an inch
•New 2.5L four-cylinder engine combines all of the latest technology in
both hybrid (with a CVT) and non-hybrid (joined to an 8-speed automatic
transaxle) editions; 3.5L V6 is still available

January 2017
Toyota
2017 Toyota Concept-i
•The happy little concept shows
the direction Toyota is looking for
the future
•Anticipating the autonomous
future, the Concept-i revises the
user experience (UX) so that the
car’s virtual assistant “Yui” can
“learn from and grow with the
driver”
•The driver is greeted with a
headlight wink and a “Hello!”
message as they approach the
vehicle
•Yui’s artificial intelligence can tell if the driver is getting drowsy, warning
the system to take over as needed

January 2017
Volkswagen
2018 Audi Q8
•Priced above but based upon
the Audi Q7, the production
version of the Audi Q8 shows a
sportier side of Audi crossovers
•While riding on the same
wheelbase and measuring about
the same length, the Q8 features
a more coupe-like body style
with room for only two rows of
seats; the concept actually only
sports room for four passengers
•This plug-in hybrid “e-tron” model joins Audi’s 3.0L TFSI V6 and an
electric motor with a 17.9 kWh lithium-ion battery for 438hp alongside all-
wheel drive and an eight-speed automatic 0-100 km/h in 5.4 seconds

January 2017
Volkswagen
2017 Volkswagen ID Buzz
•All-electric Volkswagen Bus-
inspired people carrier is part of
the brand’s move to make
buyers forget about diesels
•The “ID” lineup will eventually
encompass no fewer than three
dedicated electric models
•Based on Volkswagen’s new
MEB modular electric vehicle
platform, the ID Buzz should
inspire a production model
priced below US$50,000
sometime after the turn of the
decade
•The goal for this single-motor rear-wheel drive (or possible dual motor, all-
wheel drive) minivan is for 373 miles (on the European test) on a single
charge
•Dynamic interior allows for nearly infinite reconfigurability of seats

January 2017
Volkswagen
2017 Volkswagen Tiguan
•Production version will roll out of
the Puebla, Mexico plant starting
in April 2017
•Eleven inches longer and
featuring almost 60% more
cargo space than the first-
generation, the new Tiguan
offers an available third row of
seats
•Front- and all-wheel drive
versions will be offered as
Volkswagen attempts to recover
from the diesel-inspired sales
crash of the last two years
•A 184hp version of the 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder will be mated to
an eight-speed automatic transaxle
