Five Excellent Vehicles at the Detroit Auto Show

2013 Buick Encore: Buick will be one of the first players in the hot new market for compact, high-m.p.g. premium crossovers. The five-passenger baby Enclave's premium look and feel combine with a projected 30 m.p.g.-plus.

Chevrolet Code Red concept: Think mini-Camaro. This vision of a compact rear-wheel drive sport coupe is a long shot to make it to production, but who wouldn't like to drive a 40-m.p.g. Chevy-priced competitor for the BMW 1-series?

2012 BMW 3 series: Larger, yet lighter and more fuel efficient than its predecessor, the 2013 3-series sedan is the embodiment of everything that makes BMW great. This is the car every luxury automaker envies and tries to duplicate, and you can be one of the first to see it.

2013 Cadillac ATS: The smallest Cadillac was crafted to take on the BMW 3-series. The world's best small sport sedan could be in for a fight as GM's latest engine and chassis technology crank up the performance.

Acura NSX concept: Low, wide and modern, this hybrid exotic car will set a new example of power and efficiency for Honda's luxury brand. Acura's new icon should hit the road in three years, and it'll be engineered and built in Ohio.

Ford Fusion for 2013 Reveals

It's uncommon for a vehicle to sell better at the end of its life, but that's the case Ford has on its hands with today's Fusion sedan. Last year, the firm sold almost 250,000 Fusion cars, putting it forward of the Honda Accord on the yearly family-car sales graphs. Although it's still selling firmly, a alternative is in the works in the type of the 2013 Ford Fusion, launched to the world at the 2012 Detroit auto show. Like some other rivals, the Fusion's dropping all V-6 engines from its collection, and rather adding a pair of greener cars to satisfy hybrid and plug-in-hybrid enthusiasts.

The Fusion's trump cards could well be a pair of hybrid models. The "standard" hybrid model gets higher gas mileage and more EV range this time around: Ford says it can run on batteries alone up to 62 mph, up from 47 mph in the 2012 Fusion Hybrid.

Car Makers’ Bullish Stance

The Auto Expo will witness the launch of some 50 vehicles, along with the display of world-class vehicles and designs. India-specific products will also be unveiled. Component manufacturers will announce major innovations, also in the area of green technology.

“The auto industry is becoming the pride of the Indian industry, in fact it is becoming a major player internationally,” observed Rajive Kaul, Chairman, Steering Committee, Auto Expo 2012. International attention on the Indian automotive industry is at its peak today.


Fact is, the world is looking at India to drive future growth in the auto sector. Almost every foreign vehicle manufacturer has a presence in India and those who do not have, are expected to enter shortly. Today global players exist side-by-side with their Indian counterparts. So, global component manufacturers like Visten, Delphi, magna, Continental exist along with the Indian manufacturers.
