What Was Your Favorite 2013 Detroit Auto Show Debut

Lincoln showed the MKC concept, which got several positive reactions for its Range Rover Evoque-esque looks, while Infiniti’s Q50 sports sedan also got a thumbs-up for its sleek styling. Volkswagen brought the CrossBlue concept, showing it’s ready to dip into the midsize SUV market, and Audi’s RS7 joined the rest of the RS family in the U.S. BMW unveiled the 2013 320i, which didn’t seem so ultimate with only 180 hp, but the 4 Series Coupe concept is what really stole the show at the German automaker’s stand.
Rival Mercedes-Benz, on the other hand, touted its sexy all-wheel-drive E63 AMG 4Matic and the production version of the swoopy CLA sedan. The Lexus IS F Sport scared some spectators with its gaping grille, while Toyota may have shown us what the next-gen Corolla will look like with the Furia concept.  The Corvette stole the next-gen Silverado’s thunder at the Chevy booth, while another GM reveal included the Volt’s cousin, the Cadillac ELR. The Resonance concept (previewing the next-gen Murano) and Versa Note represented Nissan, while Acura’s MDX prototype served as a sneak peek for the production version. Honda also teased a new small crossover coming out in 2014 with the Urban SUV concept, and although many thought the Hyundai HDC-14 concept would preview the next-gen Genesis, Hyundai stressed that was not the case.
