I live in the US, but always enjoy the Aussie view of the world. Thank you for what I think is the best overview of the NY International Auto Show on KZbin. Great job, as always, Chasing Cars.

[@chasingcars]

Much appreciated!

[@-orlandogx-]

The Genesis Gv60 looks absolutely incredible🥰🥰

[@marcusgeorge1825]

A great insight. Thank you. I remember as a teenager in the mid 80’s to 91 and further, just loving going to all new car shows and also the older ones where I’d spend hours polishing and preparing 1 of 6 Lincoln Continentals 1966, with Fords largest production V8 at 462 cubic inches with the standard rear suicide doors.

[@ruzzelladrian907]

The Genesis booth was so fun. Hyundai, Kia, and Genesis were the stars of this year's show. The lamest booth is Infiniti, even though they have the new QX80. Hyundai even had their very own track on the showroom floor where you can have a joyride in their EVs. Genesis and Hyundai had these comfy lounges to hangout, free coffee, and get to play Gran Turismo 7. The new Magma models also attracted a lot of people.

[@weneedmore766]

[@gmpny3945]

I've been going to the NY Auto Show since the early 1970s but these past few years have been very disappointing. There are several "no show" manufacturers and it seems cars are spread out on the floor just to fill space. Its lost its magic. A sign of the times.

[@ravinandanDB]

Do Australia get Prado PHEV? When?

[@chasingcars]

There is no Prado PHEV in existence at the moment. The global engine options are 2.4T petrol (non-hybrid), 2.4T petrol-electric I-Force Max (hybrid), or the 2.8T diesel mild hybrid - the latter is the only one for Australia at launch. The Lexus GX has a standard 3.5TT V6 petrol (non-hybrid).

Because - frankly - not all content online is made with American viewers in mind. You’re welcome here on this channel, you’re welcome to watch and enjoy - but I’m an Australian journalist paid to make content for Australian audiences, so their preferences come first, second and third in my eyes. The beauty of Google is that you can easily convert measurements if you want to.

Could be any or all of the above I suppose. IDK... Interesting though. Secondarily, was that auto show completely dead or what? I've not seen a convention center that dead since...well...maybe I shouldn’t compare since you obviously have some commentors that would be offended (and mysteriously end up with a computer virus) Let's just say, that convention looks super dead...
