Right now through Sunday, April 7, 2013, the New York International Auto Show is underway. This marks its 113th year as one of the very first auto shows in the world. Unveiling of the cars of the future all takes place at the Jacob Javits Center in the heart of New York City. With over 1,000 vehicles, the latest in tech, safety and innovation and interactive exhibits, this event is definitely one of the largest attended auto shows.
You can get a glimpse into the car of the future, see all the concepts that are going from dream to reality and make it an outing for the entire family.
Over the last ten days, auto buffs have been treated to Gartel Art Cars, a Camp Jeep Outdoor Off Roading Ride Along, appearances by New York Mets legend, Ron Darling and Tyson Chandler of the New York Knicks as well as the History Channel’s Counting Cars exhibit.

This year, the Design Car of the Year has gone to the hot 2014 Jaguar F Type. There will be nothing quite like it on the road.
For Performance Car of the Year, the 2014 Porsche Boxster Cayman takes the prize. It is small but extremely powerful on the highway.
In a world constantly striving to ‘go green’, the 2014 Tesla Model S takes the award for Green Car of the Year.
The Car of the Year has been awarded to the 2014 Volkswagen Golf with a style and affordability unmatched in its class.
