2014 Detroit Auto Showcase: The Fresh Cars

The two thousand fourteen Detroit Auto Showcase is officially underway, and the world’s automakers have unveiled dozens of fresh cars and trucks set to commence heading our way within the coming months.

The world premiere of the next-generation Ford F-150 was the most anticipated debut heading into this year’s display, and it did not disappoint. A radical step forward for the full-size truck segment and mainstream vehicles in general, the two thousand fifteen Ford F-150 sheds as many as seven hundred pounds thanks to the extensive use of aluminum in its construction. Fuel economy figures haven’t been announced, but when it arrives later in two thousand fourteen the F-150 is sure to be the segment’s fuel-economy leader, and likely by a significant margin.

The Chrysler two hundred midsize sedan has also been reimagined, with a modern design and added refinement. Other fresh mainstream models include the come back of the GMC Canyon midsize truck and a redesigned Honda Fit subcompact car.

Higher up the pricing ladder, Mercedes-Benz debuted an all-new C-Class in Detroit, Chevy fortified the fresh Corvette lineup with the 625-horsepower Z06, and Porsche announced the comeback of the nine hundred eleven Targa, this time with a full-width roof panel that retracts automatically.

BMW lifted the sheets on the first-ever M4, while Lexus was set to expose the RC F, two high-performance coupes that promise slew of head-to-head comparison and upbeat debate.

Concept cars were also out in total force on the display floor, highlighted by Nissan’s Maxima-sized Sport Sedan Concept, the Kia GT4 Stinger rear-drive sports car and the Volvo XC Coupe Crossover Concept, which hints at future styling themes for its crossovers.

The F-150 is just just one of the all-new models set to commence heading our way this year:

Yeah, it’s just a current nine hundred eleven with a removable roof panel, but it’s so flawlessly executed in form and function — a brilliant blend of past and future — that the come back of the nine hundred eleven Targa gets our vote for best fresh twist. But if you’re looking stringently for enlargened spectacle, you’ll find slew to like below:

BEST CONCEPT CAR: TOYOTA FT-1

The Nissan Sport Sedan Concept, Kia GT4 Stinger and Audi Quattro Shooting Brake were all nominated for the top spot, but in the end we gave the nod to the truest concept car on the display floor. Eliminate the badges and most would never guess the Toyota FT-1 spawned from the same studio that brought us the Toyota Sienna minivan. But if you like your concepts with a bit more familiarity, the Detroit Auto Showcase had something for you, too:
