If you’ve been a regular reader of Winding Road and WindingRoad.com, then you’re undoubtedly familiar with the auto show awards process. We conducted awards for the 2011 Los Angeles, 2012 Detroit, and 2012 Geneva auto shows, and we’re doing the same thing for the recently concluded (although still open to the public) 2012 New York International Auto Show.

Lexus has unveiled its refitted ES at the 2012 New York International Auto Show. The standard ES350 will be joined by the first ES300h hybrid for 2013.
Officially, this is the Mazda Takeri Concept. Don’t let the name fool you, though, this is essentially the 2014 Mazda6.

The 2013 SRT Viper has arrived.
Lincoln has given the MKZ a significant refit in time for the 2012 New York Auto Show. The new model, still based off of the Ford Fusion, represents a dramatic leap forward for the MKZ name in a number of ways.
Volkswagen unveiled its Alltrack Concept at the 2012 New York International Auto Show. The concept is essentially a lifted, all-wheel-drive, five-door version of the Passat TDI.
Chevrolet has debuted a heavily revised Impala at the New York Auto Show. The rental car staple has gone from bland to beautiful with a heavy interior makeover that should really separate it from the field.
Fresh off the release of the SL63 AMG in Geneva, Mercedes-Benz has unveiled the even crazier SL65, ahead of the 2012 New York Auto Show.
Nissan is using the occasion of the New York Auto Show to unveil a new conception of its Leaf EV—a thoroughbred racing electric that’s set to be called the Leaf Nismo RC.
With an economy that is recovering but still not robust, and gasoline prices that are at $4 per gallon in most places already, and still rising, Nissan hopes that a great many buyers will see sense in its new, 2012 Versa.
You don’t need to tell us twice to get excited about a turbocharged version of the already-exciting Suzuki Kizashi—we’ve had a drive in a pretty compelling proof-of-concept car already. Still, today’s news of Suzuki’s own in-house turbo car portends a lot of good driving fun for the future.
The 2011 Scion tC has just been unveiled, and its new bodywork draws a healthy amount of inspiration from last year’s FT-86 concept car.
Scion has just taken the wraps off of the North American-spec iQ. This micromachine, designed to compete with the Smart Fortwo, features a 1.3-liter I-4 that makes “over 90 horsepower” and is mated to a standard continuously variable transmission.
Chevrolet has unveiled a more efficient version of the upcoming Cruze, called the Cruze Eco. The Eco version will deliver an estimated 40 miles per gallon on the highway without the use of expensive hybrid technology.
The Mercedes-Benz R-Class has always been a bit of a black sheep. With a polarizing exterior, it was one of the first forays into the luxury crossover market. Now, Mercedes has unveiled the (heavily) refreshed R-Class at the 2010 New York Auto Show.
Continuing the global automotive trend of offering everything under the sun with a hybrid system, Ford has taken the wraps off of the 2011 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid.
With less than 3 weeks until the doors open on the 2010 New York Auto Show press days, we have put together a list of new models and concepts that are expected to be unveiled at this years show.
