The 2013 Chicago Auto Show won’t were terribly exciting from a brand new product standpoint, but there’s still lots of sheetmetal to work out, especially in case you weren’t at L. a. or Detroit. Here’s our list of the head 10 stuff you should check up on while you visit the show in the course of the public days: 1. 2014 Chevrolet Corvette and Ford Atlas ConceptThe two Detroit auto show stars are here and both are worth sorting out within the flesh, particularly the pointy-looking Vette. 2. Chrysler’s StandOnce again, Chrysler has taken up an incredible chunk of the South Hall and is providing brief drives in a few of its freshest metal in addition to the obligatory short off-road course for Jeep.

The 2014 Toyota Tundra is the most recent full-size truck to go into the scene with a brand new face. Following the debut of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and the 2014 GMC Sierra ultimately month’s Detroit auto show, it’s now time to peer how the 2014 Tundra stacks up against its predecessor within the styling department. In a segment wherein most buyers care less about subtlety, Toyota wisely chose to provide the 2014 Tundra bolder styling, especially up front where there are not any lower than three different grille designs, all of that are larger and wider than the outgoing model.

For people who desire a little more power than the regular Fiat 500 but can’t afford the premium at the Fiat 500 Abarth, the five hundred Turbo could be the suitable choice — in the event you don’t mind the traditional manual transmission.

When we spoke on the 2013 Chicago Auto Show with Tim Kuniskis, head of Fiat North America, we get the impressions that isn’t be the case for long.

There are such a large amount of people [who] want that car.” Just like the Abarth,...

TRD has dressed up the Toyota GT86 — known here as the Scion FR-S — for just 250 customers on a unique-edition model that’s only available inside the U.K. The limited-run GT86 TRD goes on sale firstly of March. Despite TRD’s involvement, this actual Toyota GT86 doesn’t receive any power increases, and Toyota says that acceleration times are clone of a normal car. Instead the upgrades concentrate on visuals: a brand new front lip, new side skirts, 18-inch wheels, a revised rear fascia, and a brand new quad-tip exhaust system. Other dress-up parts comprise a TRD shifter, radiator cap, and fuel-filler cap. Toyota previously claimed the U.K.-only GT86 TRD would have ten extra horsepower in comparison to the stock car, but those plans seem to have been canceled. The TRD edition...

No one ever desires to be chased by a fleet of cop cars, but when you found yourself in that position, which vehicle would you least desire to have in pursuit It’s an age-old question (one we asked last year in our cop car shootout): Which law enforcement vehicle is healthier in terms of chasing down bad guys To determine, Hot Rod’s David Freiburger and Mike Finnegan buy a couple of retired Ford Crown Victoria and Chevy Caprice full-size sedans and do what they do best in this week’s Roadkill. For the needs of this episode, the Roadkill crew bought two examples of what they call the suitable used cop cars currently available on the market: the 1994-1996 Chevy Caprice 9C1, and 2003-2011 Ford Crown Victoria P71.
