  • 08  February 2013: 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray sports car. Chicago Auto Show, Chicago Automobile Trade Association (CATA), McCormick Place, Chicago Illinois..2014 CHEVROLET CORVETTE STINGRAY: Crowds will be swarming to the Chevrolet exhibit during the ten-day run of the 2013 Chicago Auto Show to be among the first to see the 2014 Corvette on display. Visually stunning, the '14 Corvette's sculptured, aerodynamic two-door hatchback exterior and track-capabilities is worthy of the iconic "Stingray" designation. This marks the seventh-generation of "America's Sport Car," and as the C7, goes farther than ever, thanks to today's advancements in design, technology and engineering. Matching the dramatic exterior is a new 6.2 liter (376 cubic inch) LT1 V-8 engine that pumps out 450 horsepower and 450 lb.-ft. of torque to the rear wheels. Consumers have their choice of a six-speed paddle-shift automatic or seven-speed manual gearbox with "Active Rev Match" that anticipates gear selections and matches engine speed for perfect shifts every time. Either way, we're talking 0-to-60 mph in less than four seconds. For 2014, the latest Corvette shares only two parts with the previous generation model. Underneath is an all-new frame structure and chassis that helped shift weight rearward for an optimal 50/50 weight balance. Lightweight features include a carbon fiber hood and removable roof panel; composite fenders, doors and rear quarter panels. Slide into the cockpit composed of premium materials, smaller-diameter steering wheel, standard dual, eight-inch configurable driver/infotainment screens and available color head-up display. There are two new seat choices - each featuring a lightweight magnesium frame. You can see the 2014 Corvette Stingray coupe in Chicago from Feb. 9th-18th, or wait until they roll into Chevrolet dealerships the third quarter of 2013.

  • 12 February 2015:  2016 MAZDA MX-5: The Mazda MX-5 two-seat roadster has a long association with the Chicago Auto Show. It was at the 81st CAS, Feb. 11-19, 1989, that the original Mazda MX-5 Miata made its public debut.  Continuing that tradition, Mazda will be displaying the new 2016 MX-5, at the 2015 Chicago show. This is the fourth-generation of the world’s best-selling roadster, with its compact open-top body, a front-midship engine rear-wheel drive configuration, 50:50 front-rear weight distribution, and an affordable price. The 2016 Mazda MX-5 is distinguished by a fresh approach to Mazda’s KODO design language, which combines beautiful proportions with body surfaces that express the contrast between stillness and motion. A snug feeling cabin has been moved a little toward the rear to create the appearance that the occupants are sitting at the body’s midpoint. The heart of the new MX-5 is a new generation Skyactiv 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, and can be mated to the buyer’s choice of either a six-speed manual or automatic transmission, specially tuned for the MX-5. It is the most compact of any generation MX-5 so far and is more than 220 pounds lighter than the model it replaces, promising a dramatic leap in Jinba-ittai driving fun. Some of the mass savings comes from the further use of aluminum components and the weight of the soft top is reduced. After visiting the Chicago show, stop by a local Mazda dealership and experience the top down enjoyment of feeling the breeze and the smile on your face while driving the fourth generation MX-5 Miata.<br />
<br />
First staged in 1901, the Chicago Auto Show is the largest auto show in North America and has been held more times than any other auto exposition on the continent. The 2015 show marks the 107th edition of the Chicago Auto Show. It has been  presented by the Chicago Automobile Trade Association (CATA) since 1935.  It is held at McCormick Place, Chicago Illinois

  • 08 February 2012: 2012 MCLAREN MP4-12C: Known for impressive racing cars, McLaren has released their second-ever roadgoing automobile, the magnificent McLaren MP4-12C. Appearing at the 2012 Chicago Auto Show, the mid-engine, two passenger sports car creates 592 horsepower and 443 lb. ft. of torque from the 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8 engine. All that power is directed to the 20-inch rear wheels via a seven-speed automatic transmission. Weight-saving is an obsession at McLaren, starting with the compact downsized engine, which is combined with the new one-piece MonoCell cabon fiber composite chassis. The close position of the driver and passenger allows for a narrower, lighter body while giving improved visibility with a clearer perception of the car’s extremities. Inside the cockpit, the airbags, steering column and a significant number of interior components all mount to a single one-piece pressure die cast magnesium beam that is 75 percent lighter than steel. With its low rate of weight to high horsepower/torque, the McLaren MP4-12C is capable of 0-60 mph in 3.2 seconds, and can reach 205 mph top speed, all for an MSRP of $229,000.

  • 12 February 2015:  2015 SCION FR-S: A favorite among car enthusiasts, the Scion exciting FR-S sports coupe adds enhanced handling and stability for the 2015 model year. Scion explains that the letters 'FR-S' stand for Front-engine, Rear-wheel drive, and Sport. It's Scion's definition of an authentic rear-wheel drive sports car. Pop the hood, and examine the 2.0-liter, naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine that is the result of a joint development between Toyota and Subaru. The flat-four creates a 12.5:1 compression ratio, as well as an impressive 200 horsepower and mated to either a six-speed manual gearbox or a six-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters and Dynamic Rev Management technology. The FR-S's low weight (2,758 with manual to 2,806 pounds with automatic) is complimented by a dynamically tuned suspension setup. The fierce exterior of the FR-S is remarkably sleek and low, with a menacing face, aggressive sporty dual exhaust system and LEDs illuminate the edgy taillights. New this model year is a more streamlined shark-fin antenna, auto on/off headlights and new key design. Opening the door reveals a low and comfortable 2+2 passenger cockpit, displaying a large center-mounted tachometer, the focus of the three-gauge cluster. The FR-S is available in seven colors including Raven, Asphalt, Hot Lava, Ultramarine and Firestorm. For 2015, Halo replaces Whiteout for the exterior pearl white paint for an additional $395 fee, and Steel replaces Argento as a silver color. The compact FR-S is Scion's new halo car, expanding the brand into a new dimension of driving performance.<br />

The midsize luxury sedan wears a sweeping roofline, steeply raked windshield, classic split-wing grille (first used on 1938 Lincoln-Zephyr), crafted LED headlights in sync with the steering wheel, and thin, full-width LED taillight graphic. The Lincoln MKZ Hybrid is front-wheel drive and equipped with the 141-horsepower 2.0L four-cylinder engine combined with an electric motor for a total rating of 188-hp. The entire setup is linked with a continuously variable transmission (CVT). Next-generation lithium-ion batteries save weight and generate more power than the previous nickel-metal-hydride batteries. The 70-kilowatt electric traction motor alone can power the car up to 85 mph. The EPA-estimated fuel economy rating is 41 mpg city, 39 mpg highway, and 40 mpg combined. Innovation and technology abound inside all '15 MKZ Hybrid, starting with MyLincoln Touch driver connect technology, push-button shift, remote start and a retractable panoramic roof that utilizes a 15.2-square-foot glass panel. The new MKZ is the only sedan in its class to offer inflatable second-row outboard seat belts, and the available THX II car audio system is a Lincoln-exclusive that contains 700 watts, 14 channels and 14 speakers. New exterior colors added to the 2015 paint palette include Luxe, Magnetic, Bronze Fire and Guard. Finally, the well-tailored truck provides an ample 15.4 cu. ft. of luggage room.<br />

  • 12 February 2015:  2015 SCION FR-S: A favorite among car enthusiasts, the Scion exciting FR-S sports coupe adds enhanced handling and stability for the 2015 model year. Scion explains that the letters 'FR-S' stand for Front-engine, Rear-wheel drive, and Sport. It's Scion's definition of an authentic rear-wheel drive sports car. Pop the hood, and examine the 2.0-liter, naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine that is the result of a joint development between Toyota and Subaru. The flat-four creates a 12.5:1 compression ratio, as well as an impressive 200 horsepower and mated to either a six-speed manual gearbox or a six-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters and Dynamic Rev Management technology. The FR-S's low weight (2,758 with manual to 2,806 pounds with automatic) is complimented by a dynamically tuned suspension setup. The fierce exterior of the FR-S is remarkably sleek and low, with a menacing face, aggressive sporty dual exhaust system and LEDs illuminate the edgy taillights. New this model year is a more streamlined shark-fin antenna, auto on/off headlights and new key design. Opening the door reveals a low and comfortable 2+2 passenger cockpit, displaying a large center-mounted tachometer, the focus of the three-gauge cluster. The FR-S is available in seven colors including Raven, Asphalt, Hot Lava, Ultramarine and Firestorm. For 2015, Halo replaces Whiteout for the exterior pearl white paint for an additional $395 fee, and Steel replaces Argento as a silver color. The compact FR-S is Scion's new halo car, expanding the brand into a new dimension of driving performance.<br />
