Auto Show Philadelphia 2016

I attended Auto Show Philadelphia 2016 over the course of two days.

For this post I thought I would do something different. Rather than presenting the viewer with a wall of text I thought I would use a show/hide feature for all the manufacturers and cars. This should allow for easier reading and easier to find just the cars / manufacturers you are actually interested in viewing.


There are more pictures here than all the manufacturer auto shows I have done in the past combined. My wife jokingly challenged me to photograph all the cars at the show. I did more or less just that. I did not photograph every different iteration of a car within a specific model line (i.e. if there was a BMW 328i and a 340i I just photographed one). Where there were significant differences between body type one and two (like on convertibles and particularly modified or sportier versions) I tried to capture both. All told it took me about 11 hours walking around the auto show to get all the photos I did (getting blisters and injuring my ankle in the process). Furthermore I did not take many interior vehicle shots, simply I did not have enough time.

That said I have one major complaint about some of the auto show attendees as someone who was trying to photograph the vehicles with uninterrupted lines (doors and trunks closed).
I do not for the life of me understand people who go to car shows, get into a car, and fail to close the door. This is even more true for the people who spend 5-15 minutes sitting in the car. My assumption is if you are using the auto show as the grand show room that it really is, nowhere else can you find so many car by so many manufacturers in one trip, then you would want to sit in the car with the doors closed as that is how you would drive it. This behavior cost me a lot of time and much frustration.

In terms of organization for this year I am organizing by parent company and then by marque based upon average base price of the cars offered by that marque. I also figured I'd give a bit more car information than I normally do, namely, HP and torque figures where easily found on a company's website as well as base price.
All photos were shot using my new circular polarizer filter which I previously review here. Compared to previous photos I think these turned out really well and it was a worthwhile investment.

With that out of the way, onto the cars and the show:

Aston Martin Lagonda Limited

Aston Martin, as a manufacturer, could not be bothered to have a display at this show, though some of their cars were included in a corral of the more expensive vehicles. Aston Martin has no pricing information, as is normal with the high end luxury and exotic automakers.

Bayerische Motoren Werke AG

Generally speaking the MINI website is easy to navigate and information is readily available.
MINI Cooper Hardtop 2 Door
---Starting: $20,700
---Base Power: 134 HP @ 4400 RPM
---Base Torque: 162 ft-lbs @ 1250 RPM
MINI Cooper Hardtop 4 Door
---Starting: $21,700
---Base Power: 134 HP @ 4400 RPM
---Base Torque: 162 ft-lbs @ 1250 RPM

Being not quite as chunky as the Countryman below I feel like this is the most appealing of MINI's 4-door offerings. It is rather distinct from the normal 5-door hatchback crowd but likely offers the same utility.

MINI Cooper Countryman
---Starting: $22,750
---Base Power: 121 HP @ 6000 RPM
---Base Torque: 114 ft-lbs @ 4250 RPM

In person these appear big and bloated. It is as chunky of a car as you can get without quite being stylized as a miniature SUV. To me it does not fit the word "mini" nor does it fit the ethos of the original Mini Cooper city car.

MINI Cooper Paceman
---Starting: $23,550
---Base Power: 121 HP @ 6000 RPM
---Base Torque: 118 ft-lbs @ 4250 RPM
MINI Cooper Clubman
---Starting: $24,100
---Base Power: 134 HP @ 4400 RPM
---Base Torque: 162 ft-lbs @ 1250 RPM

The rear doors could very well cause issues when parked in a tight spot, in a parking garage, etc. Basically you need a lot more space behind you to make that back end useful. You also always need to remember to close the driver side rear door and then the passenger side one. Not to mention the awkward rear center blind spot. I'd find this car rather frustrating to live with.
MINI Cooper Convertible
---Starting: $25,950
---Base Power: 134 HP @ 4400 RPM
---Base Torque: 162 ft-lbs @ 1250 RPM

In comparison to the lower marque BMW's web page is both much fancier and simultaneously terrible for gathering information. Whereas MINI will happily show you the RPMs at which maximum horsepower is produced this is often buried down the page for BMW if it is present at all. And yes, I could do more research to find all the various values, but I am reflecting the ordinary browser experience. The most surprising thing to me about BMW across the board is the base cost versus vase HP. You can spend over $50,000 on a car and only get 240 HP. If I were to buy one it would have to be a very impressive car at that price point.
2 Series
---Starting: $32,850
---Base Power: 240 HP @  RPM
---Base Torque: 255 ft-lbs @ 1450 RPM
3 Series
---Starting: $33,150
---Base Power: 180 HP @  RPM
---Base Torque: 200 ft-lbs @ 1250 RPM

I am actually rather surprised at how low the base power on these cars are at the base price. I suppose materials are better, but this may just be badge snobbery.

X1
---Starting: $34,800
---Base Power: 228 HP @  RPM
---Base Torque: 258 ft-lbs @ 1250 RPM

This wears the miniature SUV / 5-door hatch role well. It is a bit taller than your normal 5-door hatch but not too much larger and not likely to have worse driving dynamics.

X3
---Starting: $38,950
---Base Power: 240 HP @  RPM
---Base Torque: 260 ft-lbs @ 1250 RPM
4 Series
---Starting: $41,850
---Base Power: 240 HP @  RPM
---Base Torque: 255 ft-lbs @ 1250 RPM

A 4 Series Gran Coupe is kind of strange. BMW recently changed all coupe cars to even series numbers while sedans, wagons, and normal SUVs maintain odd numbers. Then BMW added 4-door versions of the coupes that are more sporty looking. And hence we have the 4 Series Gran Coupe.

i3
---Starting: $42,400
---Base Power: 170 HP @  RPM
---Base Torque: 184 ft-lbs @  RPM

Because electric vehicles have to look different.

X4
---Starting: $45,250
---Base Power: 240 HP @  RPM
---Base Torque: 260 ft-lbs @ 1250 RPM
Z4
---Starting: $49,700
---Base Power: 240 HP @  RPM
---Base Torque: 260 ft-lbs @ 1250 RPM
For some reason I do not see these at auto shows very often. I've seen some racing versions but otherwise it appears that BMW does not do much to push its smallest coupe.
5 Series
---Starting: $50,200
---Base Power: 240 HP @  RPM
---Base Torque: 260 ft-lbs @ 1250 RPM

It looks like all the other BMW sedans, just bigger or smaller depending on which end of the number line you started on.

M2 Coupe
---Starting: $51,700
---Base Power: 365 HP @  RPM
---Base Torque: 343 ft-lbs @  RPM

I feel like this is the closest spiritual successor to the E30 M3 and E36 M3. It is probably still a bit large and heavy in comparison but it does at least hearken back to the cars everyone originally fell in love with. If I had to have a BMW it would likely be this or the i8.

X5
---Starting: $54,700
---Base Power: 300 HP @ 5800 RPM
---Base Torque: 300 ft-lbs @ 1200 RPM
X6
---Starting: $60,600
---Base Power: 300 HP @ 5800 RPM
---Base Torque: 300 ft-lbs @ 1200 RPM

BMW is the one who started the coupe SUV (at least the modern version). I really wish they had not.

M3 Sedan
---Starting: $63,500
---Base Power: 425 HP @  RPM
---Base Torque: 406 ft-lbs @ 1850 RPM
M4 Coupe / Convertible
---Starting: $65,700 / $74,200
---Base Power: 425 HP @  RPM
---Base Torque: 406 ft-lbs @ 1850 RPM

M4 engine on display with carbon fiber brace that goes around the engine bay...?
6 Series
---Starting: $77,300
---Base Power: 315 HP @ 5800 RPM
---Base Torque: 330 ft-lbs @ 1400 RPM

The largest BMW convertible you can buy.

7 Series
---Starting: $81,300
---Base Power: 320 HP @  RPM
---Base Torque: 330 ft-lbs @ 1300 RPM

Largest version of the BMW sedan available. The hood is longer.
M5 Sedan
---Starting: $94,100
---Base Power: 560 HP @  RPM
---Base Torque: 500 ft-lbs @  RPM
X5 M
---Starting: $98,800
---Base Power: 567 HP @  RPM
---Base Torque: 553 ft-lbs @  RPM

Bigger! Faster! More expensive! SUV by BMW. But not the most expensive SUV by BMW because the X6 M coupe, which in my opinion is much uglier, costs a base $3,400 for them to give you less usable space and more blind spot!

X6 M
---Starting: $102,200
---Base Power: 567 HP @  RPM
---Base Torque: 553 ft-lbs @  RPM
M6 Coupe / Gran Coupe / Convertible
---Starting: $113,400 / $117,200 / $119,700
---Base Power: 560 HP @  RPM
---Base Torque: 500 ft-lbs @  RPM
i8
---Starting: $140,700
---Base Power: 357 HP @  RPM
---Base Torque: 420 ft-lbs @  RPM

Hood scoop or storage compartment, you decide.

The air flow directing of the body over the rear quarter is very strange, unique, intriguing, and awkward all at the same time. I like it, but it is weird.

S 1000 RR
Pricing and power information not available on the BMW cars page, and I am only going through car pages for this.

Not a car. BMW is seemingly the only manufacturer that insists on bringing one motorcycle to Auto Show Philadelphia, at least the two years I've been attending. Honda refrains from doing so. All the kids, and some of the adults, want to sit on the motorcycle.

The Rolls-Royce web page is not particular generous in terms of pricing information. It should also be noted that many vehicles are available with long wheel base versions, drop tops, and so on. It is quite configurable. Rolls-Royce did not have a manufacturer display at this auto show.

Daimler AG

fortwo
---Starting: $14,650
---Base Power: 89 HP @  RPM
---Base Torque: 100 ft-lbs @  RPM

The cheapest car you can get from Daimler AG. The website for this car has a funny video of them trying to load this car with all sorts of boxes. RPM figures for the power delivery were not found. The MPG the car achieves were surprisingly lower than I would have expected for its size at 34/39/36 with its automatic transmission.

Whereas BMW is very difficult to find pricing, power, and power at a given engine speed stats Mercedes lays this information out for all models in an extremely easy to read and follow format. They have splash pages where you can scroll through each iteration of the model and the information is readily readable. What took over an hour to collect from BMW takes less than half the time to collect from Mercedes and includes all regular and AMG series vehicles on the same page as well as fuel economy figures, if one wanted them.
Mercedes like to keep its display in the darkest part of the auto show. (Maybe it's mood lighting?) As such it is very helpful to have a monopod such as Sirui P-326 which I bought before my trip to Israel. The extra stability in low light is essential. You can let me know if you think the colors come out better in this situation or not. It does make taking the pictures more difficult in general though.
CLA Coupe
---Starting: $32,050
---Base Power: 208 HP @ 5500 RPM
---Base Torque: 258 ft-lbs @ 1250 RPM

While I was photographing this car there were two other show patrons discussing this car. It is the cheapest Mercedes-Benz money can buy and at the same time is poorly made and the materials feel cheap. Essentially you can have the badge but not much else that goes with it. Granted, this is hearsay, but it was the discussion going on while I was there.

GLA SUV
---Starting: $32,500
---Base Power: 208 HP @ 5500 RPM
---Base Torque: 258 ft-lbs @ 1250 RPM

Similar to the BMW X1 in size and price though both more car and SUV looking at the same time. It looks like a car on steroids.

C-Class Sedan
---Starting: $38,950
---Base Power: 241 HP @ 5500 RPM
---Base Torque: 273 ft-lbs @ 1300 RPM

This car has a AMG badge and AMG on the license plate for display. Mercedes, for the uninitiated, uses AMG as the top trim level of its ordinary cars, for those where it is an option. Other cars further have a AMG version designated as an alphanumeric code with only two numbers instead of the normal three following the letter designation.

GLC SUV
---Starting: $38,950
---Base Power: 241 HP @ 5550 RPM
---Base Torque: 273 ft-lbs @ 1300 RPM

I suppose when Mercedes uses "GLC" here it does not stand for "Great Little Car" as it did on a Mazda hatch of the 80s and maybe 90s. This is a bit larger.

C-Class Coupe
---Starting: $39,400
---Base Power: 201 HP @ 5500 RPM
---Base Torque: 229 ft-lbs @ 2000 RPM
B-Class
---Starting: $41,450
---Base Power: 177 HP @  RPM
---Base Torque:  ft-lbs @  RPM
I do not think I've ever seen one of these at a US auto show.
SLK Roadster
---Starting: $47,000
---Base Power: 241 HP @ 5550 RPM
---Base Torque: 273 ft-lbs @ 1300 RPM
These do not show up at auto shows very often either. There are some who think these cars, after much depreciation and on the used market, make for a more refined convertible small roadster experience than the Mazda MX-5 Miata. I can certainly see that. A bit more weight, a bit more power, and certainly more creature comforts. It would be like a more GT car than Miata is. And these are supposed to handle well and be fun little sports cars. Their price though is a bit high for many of us in the new market, but I'd definitely look at these in the used car market.
GLE SUV
---Starting: $51,100
---Base Power: 302 HP @ 273 RPM
---Base Torque: 273 ft-lbs @ 3500 RPM

The back on this is rather large and flat looking. It kind of reminds me of some of the old steam locomotives when they were first working on streamlining.

E-Class Sedan
---Starting: $52,650 (diesel)
---Base Power: 195 HP @ 3800 RPM
---Base Torque: 369 ft-lbs @ 1600 RPM

Mercedes also suffers, though to a lesser extent than BMW, of all its cars being made the same but in different sizes. At least the C-Class and E-Class sedans are pretty similar.

E-Class Coupe
---Starting: $54,200
---Base Power: 329 HP @ 5250 RPM
---Base Torque: 354 ft-lbs @ 1600 RPM

E-Class Wagon
---Starting: $59,900
---Base Power: 302 HP @ 6500 RPM
---Base Torque: 273 ft-lbs @ 3500 RPM

I like estates / wagons so much more than SUVs. All the space and practicality with lower centers of gravity, better drivability, and, to me at least, great desirability. I would love to see the US market get more of these like the European market does. Simply, I really like this car. Also it does not have pretensions of going off road which it rarely if ever will (in SUV form).

E-Class Convertible
---Starting: $62,250
---Base Power: 329 HP @ 5250 RPM
---Base Torque: 354 ft-lbs @ 1600 RPM

GL SUV
---Starting: $64,550
---Base Power: 240 HP @ 3600 RPM
---Base Torque: 455 ft-lbs @ 1600 RPM

I think this is the largest SUV Mercedes offers but not the most expensive. I think it looks smaller than the largest offerings by Infiniti and Lexus even though it may not actually be any smaller.

GLE Coupe
---Starting: $65,100
---Base Power: 362 HP @ 5250 RPM
---Base Torque: 384 ft-lbs @ 1800 RPM

Because for some reason when BMW made the X6 people bought it. This has the same disadvantages of less usable space, worse viability than the normal SUV form, more expense, and greater ugliness. At the very least less sense of purpose. As much as I wish these things did not succeed and sell they are likely going to be around for the foreseeable future.

CLS Coupe
---Starting: $66,900
---Base Power: 329 HP @ 5250 RPM
---Base Torque: 354 ft-lbs @ 1600 RPM

I like it a lot more from the front than the back. Also the headlights have some funny little things on the bottom end.
SL Roadster
---Starting: $85,050
---Base Power: 329 HP @ 5250 RPM
---Base Torque: 354 ft-lbs @ 1600 RPM
S-Class Sedan
---Starting: $95,650
---Base Power: 449 HP @ 5250 RPM
---Base Torque: 516 ft-lbs @ 1800 RPM

The biggest and most luxurious Mercedes sedan in their normally branded bracket. Top Gear holds this up as the gold standard by which all other luxury barges are judged. A fun fact about these is the old V12 S-Class cars are available for relatively cheap and are a great way to own a V12 (until it breaks and there are repair bills).

G-Class SUV
---Starting: $119,900
---Base Power: 416 HP @ 5500 RPM
---Base Torque: 450 ft-lbs @ 2000 RPM

Nissan has tried to market a box on wheel with the Nissan Cube. Scion marketed a box on wheels with the xB. Kia has the Soul! and Honda had the element. But the boxiest box and most expensive box on four wheel by a major manufacturer is the G-Class SUV. Originally the G-Wagen, which I think was a cooler name. Eat your heart our Land Rover, your corners are soft in comparison!

S-Class Coupe
---Starting: $121,550
---Base Power: 449 HP @ 5250 RPM
---Base Torque: 516 ft-lbs @ 1800 RPM

I do not like the back end. The spoiler and roundness do not match with the front end.

Mercedes-Maybach S600 Sedan
---Starting: $189,350
---Base Power: 523 HP @ 4900 RPM
---Base Torque: 612 ft-lbs @ 1900 RPM

I imagine with a car like this you need a driver.

This car's interior is meant to be very luxurious and comfortable to the rear passenger. I am not sure what the driver experience is supposed to be like. But when we really have autonomous vehicles the coach building that goes into these would make for an excellent daily commuter.

Mercedes internal division dedicated to smoking tires. Prices start north of $49,000. Horsepower starts at 375 HP and torque at 350 ft-lbs. In recent years automotive outlets have been indicating that not only has the tire smoking potency increased but so has traction and handling so that these are becoming genuine weapons around tracks. The one problem with all this power and the modern horsepower wars is that I cannot imagine these cars are much fun to drive at everyday speeds, you would need a track.
CLA45 Coupe
---Starting: $49,500
---Base Power: 375 HP @ 6000 RPM
---Base Torque: 350 ft-lbs @ 2250 RPM
Keep in mind those figures are from a 2.0L inline 4-cylinder. The most potent production 4-cylinder per liter in the world.

C63 Sedan
---Starting: $65,250
---Base Power: 469 HP @ 5500 RPM
---Base Torque: 479 ft-lbs @ 1750 RPM

I do not think it quite looks as fast as it is. Not quite a sleeper but close to it. I think you might find yourself surprised by this car.

One thing I like about the Mercedes AMG cars is that while they make ridiculously fast versions of every day cars they do so while increasing their stopping power. Look at the size of these rear brakes. I always find it silly when show cars or manufacturer concepts or cars done up for an auto show come with big wheels and tiny brakes that leave a void. Mercedes does this right.

 Mercedes' top tier sports coupe.

Accord to reviewers the handling and power delivery are very good.

Personally I like this more than I liked the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG, but I think this has a weaker looking rear end. I look forward to reading reviews if they ever offer a Black Edition of this car.

Ferrari S.p.A.

Ferrari's website is not too difficult to get power information from, though you may need to do conversions between metric and US units. Ferrari's website includes no pricing information. If you have to ask... It is worth mentioning that photographing Ferrari cars indoors at shows has proven problematic to get good color to show up in the photos. This is why they come out more orange than red.

All wheel drive and four seats. The most practical Ferrari. I had a friend who daily drove one and put 200,000 kilometers on it and loved it. He did his own maintenance though (except the proprietary electronic stuff).

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles

I was actually surprised to find on further research that Fiat's cars are actually the lowest cost entry point into the Fiat Chrysler Automobile offerings. I thought that similar to MINI the retro-chic would cause a bloat in price such that these would eclipse the base Dodge Dart offering. Consider me pleasantly surprised to not only find these cars quirky with their retro looks but actually priced in accordance with their size and power.
Fiat like all companies in this overall group is silent regarding how many revolutions are required to achieve peak power or torque on their models.
500
---Starting: $16,845
---Base Power: 101 HP @  RPM
---Base Torque: 97 ft-lbs @  RPM

I tend to think of these in a similar vein as MINI's cars. They are quirky throwbacks to old amazing city cars. I feel like the Fiat 500 pays better homage to its predecessor than the MINI Cooper. I also appreciate that the cost is significantly more affordable.

---Starting: $19,345
---Base Power: 160 HP @  RPM
---Base Torque: 184 ft-lbs @  RPM 

The 500L suffers from the same issues as the larger MINIs do. The cars, in my eyes, quickly lose their charm the more you attempt to fit large amounts of space into small looks. It just gets chunky and bloated.

500X
---Starting: $20,000
---Base Power: 160 HP @  RPM
---Base Torque: 184 ft-lbs @  RPM

Same is true for the even larger 500X. Fiat had this thing about none of its cars being able to close their trunks. They were not the only ones, but it makes taking pictures not quite as nice if they had allowed it to close completely.

500c
---Starting: $20,345
---Base Power: 101 HP @  RPM
---Base Torque: 97 ft-lbs @  RPM
Abarth
---Starting: $22,495
---Base Power: 160 HP @  RPM
---Base Torque: 170 ft-lbs @  RPM

Everything open! Also many Abarth scorpion symbols all over the car.

124 Spider
---Starting: $
---Base Power: 160 HP @  RPM
---Base Torque: 184 ft-lbs @  RPM

I am not sure but I think I like this front more than the new Miata's. It looks good and the power delivery should make it interesting.

This may very way be a bit more GT and less pure budget sports car than the Miata. Still, it will be good to have another small sports car on the market.

My impression of the entire dodge brand as I was walking through the auto show was that every single car is mean to a middle aged man desperate to prove to the world that he does not have "low T". They all have the masculinity cranked up to 11! And they all, except maybe a normal, non-GT Dart, have been drinking muscle milk heavily and have successfully bulked up.
Dart
---Starting: $16,995
---Base Power: 160 HP @  RPM
---Base Torque:  ft-lbs @  RPM

Dart GT pictured. Hood scoops are fake and just plastic (fake vents annoy me on my BRZ too, my least favorit exterior feature). Base price is $22,095 with 184 HP.
Lee Iococca did the most for Chrysler when focusing the company on small cars the public would want to buy, small, well made, inexpensive cars that make the bread and butter for sales for all the major manufacturers. Only the Dart still fits this bill while the rest of the line, except maybe the Caravan, has lost track of this. The worst part is, one would think that with Fiat at the helm Dodge would have an excellent small car for the mass market.

Journey
---Starting: $20,995
---Base Power: 173 HP @  RPM
---Base Torque:  ft-lbs @  RPM

Angry SUV face! Masculinity! Maybe the idea is to appeal to men who are too insecure to drive a smallish SUV otherwise?

Grand Caravan
---Starting: $22,095
---Base Power: 283 HP @  RPM
---Base Torque:  ft-lbs @  RPM

And again. The front fascia and boxiness just rub me the wrong way.

It is a minivan trying its best to be a SUV or truck.

RAM Promaster City
---Starting: $23,445
---Base Power: 178 HP @  RPM
---Base Torque: 174 ft-lbs @  RPM

I find it slightly funny that the sleekest looking Dodge is the city van. I wonder how it stacks compared to the Ford Transit?

RAM 1500
---Starting: $26,145
---Base Power: 305 HP @  RPM
---Base Torque: 296 ft-lbs @  RPM

"Small" is an inaccurate description. Though, this did have, at least to me, one of the more practical cargo bed heights of trucks at the show as it was about waist height.

Dodge also had this RAM 1500 Rebel on display. Starting price at $43,270. Base power of 395 HP and base torque of 410 ft-lbs.

For those who want the Ford Super Duty look with more plastic and less chrome? If it has not become clear yet, I do not really understand Dodge and I do not really understand trucks outside of as a utility vehicle and off road driving. I guess I do not understand these larger pickups as a daily driver.

Challenger
---Starting: $26,995
---Base Power: 305 HP @  RPM
---Base Torque: 268 ft-lbs @  RPM

Challenger 392 HEMI Scat Pack Shaker shown here. Starting at $43,795 with base power of 485 HP and base torque of 475 ft-lbs. If one things can be said about Dodge, they certainly let you option a number of engines for increase power up and down their product line. The Dart does not receive quite as much love though.
Also, whereas Ford and Chevrolet have worked to lighten their pony cars, the Mustang and Camaro so that they appeal to people who like corners and straight line speed, Dodge has maintained heavy and powerful remaining firmly a muscle car to the others' attempts to become more respected as sports cars. 

Charger
---Starting: $27,995
---Base Power: 292 HP @  RPM
---Base Torque: 260 ft-lbs @  RPM

Angry sedan is angry!

RAM Promaster Cargo Van
---Starting: $29,865
---Base Power: 280 HP @  RPM
---Base Torque: 260 ft-lbs @  RPM

On vans low beds like this help with loading and unloading. So, I do not understand why so many trucks have beds that are so high. How many people actually regularly use that additional clearance versus the inconvenience. Mainly I miss the old Ford Ranger and Chevy S10 class of truck.

Durango
---Starting: $30,495
---Base Power: 293 HP @  RPM
---Base Torque: 260 ft-lbs @  RPM

That chin spoiler! Creates tons of down force... 
I could ask a question about the point of an SUV with extremely poor ground clearance, no sense of approach angles, and so on, but I will refrain from doing so.

RAM 2500
---Starting: $31,780
---Base Power: 383 HP @  RPM
---Base Torque: 400 ft-lbs @  RPM

RAM 2500 Power Wagon shown. Starting at $51,160. Base power of 410 HP and base torque: 429 ft-lbs. I am not sure if this or the Nissan Titan was more imposing. Also the bed on this was so high it would be a royal pain to lift something into it, like an engine or something, for hauling. Maybe it has an air suspension so you can drop it? To me it screams of over compensation.
This vehicle with its height and size and lack of towing mirrors has me worried. At a stop light I could be next to this car in my Subaru BRZ and the driver might not be able to see my car at all over their hood, through the passenger window, or in their mirror. And having been crashed into by a large CN railroad truck in the past who decided to switch lanes and did not see me, this truck and others like it have me worried.

RAM 3500
---Starting: $32,285
---Base Power: 383 HP @  RPM
---Base Torque: 400 ft-lbs @  RPM
Challenger SRT Hellcat
---Starting: $64,195
---Base Power: 707 HP @  RPM
---Base Torque: 650 ft-lbs @  RPM
I am rather amused that Dodge, which in theory is the less luxury brand than Chrysler out prices and out powers anything Chrysler can offer. The halo cars for this automotive group are in Dodge, Alfa Romeo, and Maseratti. Chrysler seems unloved.
Charger SRT Hellcat
---Starting: $67,645
---Base Power: 707 HP @  RPM
---Base Torque: 650 ft-lbs @  RPM

Too much power.

Not enough traction.

A danger at this price point. This car epitomizes the horsepower wars. The problem is just because you can afford to buy one does not mean you've invested enough time and effort in yourself as a driver to be able to handle one.
Also, while a halo car and something that considerable R&D funding went into (are these sold at a loss?). I do not know what impact this has on overall Dodge sales. I would think something like a Ford Fiesta / Toyota Yaris / Chevy Spark competitor would help base sales more. Cars like this leave me with the impression that executives are out of touch with their sales base. This is a bad thing when you recently declared bankruptcy and were sold to another company. More importantly when one looks over top 20 US sales data for 2015 Dodge has no showings that I've found in my digging so far. Chevrolet and Ford regularly place in the top 10 for any given month but only the Chrysler 200 shows up in the top 20, usually well out of the top 10.
This is in no way to say that a company should not build fun or desirable cars. But at the same time you should be making money and cars that people will buy.

Viper
---Starting: $87,895
---Base Power: 645 HP @  RPM
---Base Torque: 600 ft-lbs @  RPM

I have not driven one, but the reviewers who have indicate these have come enormous distances in handling and becoming real driver's cars.

I also have to commend Dodge for sticking to its guns. I have not seen any web pages complaining how Dodge ripped off Ferrari styling in their Viper updates, unlike Chevrolet and the Corvette Stingray.

Am I in love with the Viper? No. But I certainly respect it.

Having gone through Jeep's website to get all the price and power information I have to admit I am rather confused about how size and power relate to pricing. The Renegade is more powerful than the Patriot and Compass. It is smaller than the Compass but seems to also be smaller than the Patriot. So I am confused as to how the Patriot fits into the product line.
Patriot
---Starting: $17,595
---Base Power: 158 HP @  RPM
---Base Torque: 141 ft-lbs @  RPM
Renegade
---Starting: $17,995
---Base Power: 160 HP @  RPM
---Base Torque: 184 ft-lbs @  RPM

Jeep people might hate me for this. But in person this is rather small and quirky. I think it is the most American version of the Scion xB and I rather like it. The taillights are a little funky with the X. Assuming this is on a decently behaving car chassis I think this could be a fun alternative to a hatchback or small wagon. (Okay, yes, I wish it came with bi-xenon projectors because I like the excellent visibility at night.)

Compass
---Starting: $19,595
---Base Power: 158 HP @  RPM
---Base Torque: 141 ft-lbs @  RPM

Just a bit softer looking than a Dodge equivalent, and better off for it, in my opinion.

Cherokee
---Starting: $23,395
---Base Power: 184 HP @  RPM
---Base Torque: 171 ft-lbs @  RPM

I am still not used to nor sure what to think about those headlights. Also the photo above makes them look even more awkward while making the hood look longer and cooler.

Wrangler
---Starting: $23,895
---Base Power: 285 HP @  RPM
---Base Torque: 260 ft-lbs @  RPM

The Jeep Wrangler is arguably one of the most recognizable car from my youth to now. It has not changed much and it has not had to. They are quite capable even in stock form without being nearly as gargantuan or imposing as many other trucks and many other less capable SUVs. Probably still the gold standard of going off road and on jeep trails, but I am not sure how necessary the new "Trail Rated" marketing gimmick is.

Wrangler Unlimited
---Starting: $27,695
---Base Power: 285 HP @  RPM
---Base Torque: 260 ft-lbs @  RPM

Four door Wrangler. All the capability plus easier entrance and exit for rear passengers. 
Grand Cherokee
---Starting: $29,995
---Base Power: 290 HP @  RPM
---Base Torque: 260 ft-lbs @  RPM

This is another one of those soft roaders. The ground clearance and overhangs make me question its off road capabilities.

200
---Starting: $21,995
---Base Power: 184 HP @  RPM
---Base Torque: 173 ft-lbs @  RPM

Chrysler's best selling car. It is not bad looking and I imagine it share a platform with the Dode Dart. Also no fake plastic hood scoops / vents!

Town & Country
---Starting: $29,995
---Base Power: 283 HP @  RPM
---Base Torque: 260 ft-lbs @  RPM

This looks like a minivan not like it is trying to aspire to be something else like the Dodge Caravan was. And there is nothing wrong with being a minivan.

Pacifica
---Starting: $
---Base Power:  HP @  RPM
---Base Torque:  ft-lbs @  RPM

A nameplate revived!

Actually it is a replacement for the Town & Country and looks sleeker and more modern. I am a fan of the update.

I do miss the old Pacifica though. It was a relatively low to the ground, wide, cross between an SUV and minivan.

The old Pacifica did not quite look like a SUV or truck and was one of the least SUV crossovers to come out.

I wonder if they could start referring to the seats in the rear of this as "sectionals"?
300
---Starting: $32,015
---Base Power: 292 HP @  RPM
---Base Torque: 260 ft-lbs @  RPM

It is certainly different looking than other similarly sized sedans.

4C Coupe
---Starting: $55,900
---Base Power: 237 HP @ 6000 RPM
---Base Torque: 258 ft-lbs @ 2200 RPM

Upside down triangle!

Extensive use of carbon fiber to keep weight down. It would be nice if this tech and material was to make it into even more mass produced cars.

I like the wheels, I also like how this one looks from the back more than the Spider.

4C Spider
---Starting: $65,900
---Base Power: 237 HP @ 6000 RPM
---Base Torque: 258 ft-lbs @ 2200 RPM

Giulia Quadrifoglio
---Starting: $
---Base Power: 505 HP @  RPM
---Base Torque: 443 ft-lbs @ 2500 RPM

Because the world needs more cars to compete with the BMW M3 and the Mercedes-AMG C63 Sedan.

Especially when they look this good!

The world also needs more factory rear diffusers that look this good!

At both the Philadelphia and New York auto shows Maserattis like to hide behind a fence. Pictures are only taken from a distance.
Ghibli
---Starting: $70,600
---Base Power: 345 HP @ 5250 RPM
---Base Torque: 369 ft-lbs @ 1750 RPM

Quattroporte
---Starting: $99,900
---Base Power: 404 HP @ 5500 RPM
---Base Torque: 406 ft-lbs @ 1750 RPM
GranTurismo
---Starting: $132,825
---Base Power: 454 HP @ 7000 RPM
---Base Torque: 384 ft-lbs @ 4750 RPM
GranTurismo Convertible
---Starting: $145,740
---Base Power: 444 HP @ 7000 RPM
---Base Torque: 376 ft-lbs @ 4750 RPM

Ford Motor Company

Fun fact, to my knowledge, and as far as my research backs me up, all of the good recent Ford inline 4-cylinders and many of the V6s in the Duratec and EcoBoost lines can trace their first applications back to Mazda as L (MZR) and MZI engines. Assuming this trend continues, Ford could end up with some absolutely brilliant Skyactive-G derivatives in the near-ish future.
Fiesta Sedan 
---Starting: $14,090
---Base Power: 120 HP @ 6350 RPM
---Base Torque: 112 ft-lbs @ 5000 RPM
Peak power and torque are delivered at number that would make 90s Hondas prowd!
Fiesta Hatchback 
---Starting: $14,390
---Base Power: 120 HP @ 6350 RPM
---Base Torque: 112 ft-lbs @ 5000 RPM
Focus Sedan 
---Starting: $17,225
---Base Power: 160 HP @ 6500 RPM
---Base Torque: 146 ft-lbs @ 4500 RPM

An affordable sedan. Every so often I try to figure out how these compare in size to the '95 Toyota Corolla that was more or less my first car (while in HS until I went to college and my siblings got it). I think these are larger and perhaps the Fiesta Sedan is closer in size while this is closer to a modern Corolla. Also, it may be what I notice, or it might be that Ford sells a lot more of the hatch versions of these because I feel I see a lot more of those than the sedan counterpart. Same is true for the Fiesta.

Ford had this thing about all trunks being forced to stay open. This trunk lid was too light to stay closed on its own so I had it down in order to get a sense of the rear lines.

Focus Hatch 
---Starting: $19,015
---Base Power: 160 HP @ 6500 RPM
---Base Torque: 146 ft-lbs @ 4500 RPM
Fiesta ST 
---Starting: $20,970
---Base Power: 197 HP @ 6000 RPM
---Base Torque: 202 ft-lbs @ 4200 RPM

Ford has engaged in the making of fun, small, useful cars for a while now. This is a good thing. Now if only the seating position was more to my liking, I feel like you sit too high in these.

Fusion 
---Starting: $22,110
---Base Power: 175 HP @ 6000 RPM
---Base Torque: 175 ft-lbs @ 4500 RPM

I may be wrong, but I believe that because the Europeans, especially in the UK, demanded that the Ford Mondeo be a good car the US ended up with much better sedan offerings from Ford as they moved toward a global car company with all models. I have ridden in the hybrid version of multiple generations of this car. It is not bad at all in terms of comfort or interior finish. Much better in my opinion than the late 90s Taurus and such. Ford has come a long way in matching the Japanese auto manufacturers in quality and reliability.

Transit Connect Van 
---Starting: $22,675
---Base Power: 169 HP @ 6000 RPM
---Base Torque: 171 ft-lbs @ 4500 RPM

Apparently this is the work horse in the UK.

 Very low to the ground so minimal lifting required to load.

Escape 
---Starting: $23,100
---Base Power: 168 HP @ 6000 RPM
---Base Torque: 170 ft-lbs @ 4500 RPM

All major car makers have a Toyota RAV4. This is Ford's.

Mustang 
---Starting: $24,145
---Base Power: 300 HP @ 6500 RPM
---Base Torque: 280 ft-lbs @ 4000 RPM
Base model is the V6 with the stats above.
Second engine available is the EcoBoost with 310 HP @ 5500 RPM and 320 ft-lbs @ 3000 RPM starting at $25,645. This is a turbocharged 4-cyliner.
Then there is the GT with 435 HP @ 6500 RPM and 400 ft-lbs @ 4250 RPM starting at $32,295. This uses a V8.
All of these models are available in fastback and convertible guises.

Four cylinder with more power costs more than the base V6.

All Mustang hoods had to be open.

Engine must be on display!

Possibly the only crowd around a car more persistent than the one surrounding the Tesla Model S. I lacked the patience to wait and try to get photos with the lines preserved and hood closed.
I still think the two creases running down the hood ruin the view out the front windshield.
If you pay close attention to power output and engine size it is possible that the inline four cylinder offered in the Mustang first appeared in the 2005-2007 Mazda Mazdaspeed6. Interesting, no?

C-Max 
---Starting: $24,170
---Total Power: 188 HP
---Base Power: 141 HP @ 6000 RPM
---Base Torque: 129 ft-lbs @ 4000 RPM

 In the US only offered as a hybrid. In Europe this has a little brother known as the B-Max which is really cute in that when the sliding doors are open they are just longer than the rear of the car (might be bad if you part right up against a wall). This is the most minivan or MPV looking Ford.

Focus ST 
---Starting: $24,425
---Base Power: 252 HP @ 5500 RPM
---Base Torque: 270 ft-lbs @ 2500 RPM
Ford's VW Golf GTI and Subaru WRX competitor. Importantly for the US market it has 5-doors, a segment Subaru is no longer providing for when enthusiast also requires practicality of a hatch.
Transit Connect Wagon 
---Starting: $24,825
---Base Power: 169 HP @ 6000 RPM
---Base Torque: 171 ft-lbs @ 4500 RPM
This or the Ford Flex, or both together, have replaced the Ford Windstar as their minivan offering. Manual with a diesel would make this a wonderful 7-seated family car, or just manual and petrol. Alas, no dice in the US market.
F-150 
---Starting: $26,428
---Base Power: 325 HP @ 5750 RPM
---Base Torque: 375 ft-lbs @ 3000 RPM
I think this is still the best selling four wheel motorized vehicle of all time?
Taurus 
---Starting: $27,110
---Base Power: 288 HP @ 6500 RPM
---Base Torque: 254 ft-lbs @ 4000 RPM

I do not miss the old oval back window. Four cylinder with less power but more torque costs more than the base V6. The belt line on this car creeps up a lot.

Edge 
---Starting: $28,700
---Base Power: 245 HP @ 5500 RPM
---Base Torque: 275 ft-lbs @ 3000 RPM

Remember those advertisements with this car rolling along edges on two wheels? Those were funny.

Flex 
---Starting: $29,600
---Base Power: 287 HP @ 6500 RPM
---Base Torque: 254 ft-lbs @ 4000 RPM

I sat in one of these at Delaware Auto Show 2015. The blind spots were not bad. I was not in love with the seating position, but I am unlikely to be in anything that has seven seats. If only I could get this with a manual transmission though... (And yes, as someone who plans to start with kids at some point I perhaps dwell more than the average auto enthusiast on the seven seat segment.)

Transit 
---Starting: $30,960
---Base Power: 275 HP @ 6000 RPM
---Base Torque: 310 ft-lbs @  RPM

Interestingly smaller more fuel efficient but less powerful engines cost more. I would understand if just the diesel did, but the smaller petrol does to. Go figure?

Explorer 
---Starting: $31,050
---Base Power: 290 HP @ 6500 RPM
---Base Torque: 255 ft-lbs @ 4000 RPM

Super Duty F-Series 
---Starting: $32,385
---Base Power: 385 HP @ 5500 RPM
---Base Torque: 405 ft-lbs @ 4500 RPM

This is the F-250 Super Duty. It is on of those trucks where I worry I could pull up next to one in a light and they would have no idea I am sitting next to it in a Subaru BRZ because they would not see my car at all.

F-450 here and I am even more worried about this one. And while this is great for towing I think the bed is way too high for easy loading and unloading.

Focus RS 
---Starting: $35,900
---Base Power: 350 HP @ 6000 RPM
---Base Torque: 350 ft-lbs @ 3200 RPM

Probably the most highly anticipated recent addition to the hot hatch scene.

Power? Check.

Five doors? Check.

Trick AWD system? Check.

"Drift Mode" included from factory? Check... O_o?

Unfortunately this car was locked and you could not sit in it. My friend who has test driven said that the seats in this version improve the sitting position greatly over the Focus ST. I wish I had been able to try for myself.

What I am hoping is that this car severely harms Subaru's WRX STI sales in the USA to the point that Subaru responds with a hotter, more powerful, FA20 based, and five door WRX STI. That, or maybe I will just have to get a Focus RS as a practical four seat vehicle.
Expedition 
---Starting: $45,435
---Base Power: 365 HP @ 5000 RPM
---Base Torque: 420 ft-lbs @ 2250 RPM

Large. And yet another vehicle I worry about losing me on the passenger side. I hope vehicles like this have extensive cameras are sensors to detect vehicles next to them.

Mustang Shelby GT350 
---Starting: $47,795
---Base Power: 526 HP @ 7500 RPM
---Base Torque: 429 ft-lbs @ 4750 RP
GT 
---Starting: $
---Base Power: 600+ HP @  RPM
---Base Torque:  ft-lbs @  RPM
This car made no appearance in Philadelphia. This auto show gets no love. Maybe we will have actual performance stats by the time I see this in New York again.

Ford, unlike GM, really only has two tiers. Ford or Lincoln. This eliminates some of the silliness where a well optioned Chevy might be as nice and cost the same as a base Buick. I feel like there is significantly less overlap between Ford and Lincoln models than Chevrolet and Buick, while that distinction exists for Chevrolet and Cadillac. I do not understand why the Buick brand was maintained, but more on that in the Buick section. Basically, Ford motor Company's brand structure makes more sense to me.
MKC 
---Starting: $33,260
---Base Power: 240 HP @ 5500 RPM
---Base Torque: 270 ft-lbs @ 3000 RPM
Maybe I did not pay close enough attention but I did not photograph this because it looked exactly the same to me in terms of size and style to the MKX. When I search them though, one is apparently based on the Ford Escape / Kuga (this one) and the other on the Ford Edge. Maybe I was tired. After looking at a lot of internet pictures I think the MKC is slightly shorter in body length and has different headlights and taillights. But to be honest they are very similar.
MKZ 
---Starting: $35,190
---Base Power: 240 HP @ 5500 RPM (231 HP if using regular fuel)
---Base Torque: 270 ft-lbs @ 3000 RPM

There is no logical progression in MK_ and size, power, or price, at least not one I can discern.

MKX 
---Starting: $38,260
---Base Power: 303 HP @ 6500 RPM
---Base Torque: 278 ft-lbs @ 4000 RPM

Possibly depriving Acura of crucial letter combinations in its __X mode lines. (It is a joke for those familiar with Acura vehicle naming conventions.)

MKS 
---Starting: $38,850
---Base Power: 304 HP @ 6500 RPM
---Base Torque: 279 ft-lbs @ 4000 RPM

I have absolutely no idea how this stacks up to European offerings. I know that Cadillac's offering frequently get compared with German luxury offerings. I cannot say I see the same comparisons being made for Lincoln.

MKT 
---Starting: $43,210
---Base Power: 303 HP @ 6500 RPM
---Base Torque: 278 ft-lbs @ 4000 RPM

I have to admit I kind of like how the headlights appear integrated with or flow out of the grill. Also this is one of the more interesting taillight bars.

Continental 
---Starting: $
---Base Power: ~400 HP @  RPM
---Base Torque:  ft-lbs @  RPM

The little Lincoln symbols in the individual headlight elements are gone.

This looks like it may compare well with European offerings, certainly in styling at the very least.

Navigator 
---Starting: $63,195
---Base Power: 380 HP @ 5250 RPM
---Base Torque: 460 ft-lbs @ 2750 RPM

When the doors open a stepping sill deploys. Again, I hope this car has cameras or mirrors that tell the driver when they have a small sports car next to them.

Fuji Heavy Industries

Remember those days when all Subaru vehicles were kind of funky compared to the mainstream? Like the Subaru Brat. All the two tone Outbacks, wagons or sedans. Functional hood vents on everything. Really tall but oddly useful and decent Forester. Bug eyes. Hawk eyes. Subaru used to be fun and really gunning for the enthusiast crowd. I feel it is slipping. The offerings seems to be becoming more like Toyota + good AWD system. I mean, even the unequal length headers are gone on the new WRX and the BRZ was never offered with them, therefore no boxer rumble. And sure, the center of mass might be lower due to that boxer placement, but all the cars are bigger and many ride higher than their predecessors so the advantage is being chipped away at.
"Love. It's what makes a Subaru a Subaru." has become the new marketing slogan and sales are certainly up. But the WRX and WRX STI (then Imprezas) that I lusted after in middle school and high school, attainable lust no less because they were not exotics, that just is not there anymore. I still want a GC8 coupe.
There was also a decent amount of camaraderie among Subaru owners. That passion that it inspired gave rise to Subiefest and Boxerfest. I worry that it will all fade if Subaru continues down this path.
When Porsche started making SUVs everyone was worried it would ruin the brand, but they took all this extra cash flow and made even more awesome and higher performing versions of their sports cars. Subaru's performance division has more or less stagnated even though sales are tremendously up. I just worry about the future of my favorite car manufacturer as they seem to be turning away from anything I would want to buy.
Impreza
---Starting: $18,295
---Base Power: 148 HP @ 6200 RPM
---Base Torque: 145 ft-lbs @ 4200 RPM

Small AWD sedan. Comes in manual or CVT. Interior options such as materials used on interior and navigation severely limited in choice if you choose manual transmission.

Impreza Sedan Concept

Fancy looking front lights and the hood looks lower.

As with all concepts the wheels are sized to actually fill the gap left for them in the body, I do not expect this to carry into production (if this goes to production).

There is a decent amount of rear end lift. Not being able to climb into it I have no idea how this affects visibility and blind spots.

A more aggressive and interesting take on the taillights found in the WRX.

Normally I do not post signs for the cars, even though I photograph them for identification purposes later on (yes, about 1/3rd of the photos I took are not being posted because they were purely taken so I could remember what I saw). But the laudatory langauge in this one made it amusing so I thought I would post it.

Impreza Sport
---Starting: $21,095
---Base Power: 148 HP @ 6200 RPM
---Base Torque: 145 ft-lbs @ 4200 RPM

I like this car, previously test drove a 2014. It is a solid and useful hatchback. But... Subaru has this thing against letting you choose features you want with a manual transmission. Nice seats? Only with CVT. Nicer audio system? Only with CVT. Navigation? Only with CVT. Somehow having all these features is mechanically dependent upon your having a CVT. This is supremely frustrating to my wife and I who would like a car that can fit four people. Would like heated seats. Would like dual zone climate control. And would like navigation. I really wish Subaru would take a page from Mazda's book regarding the Mazda3 (their entry level car) and allow you to option any interior package and feature, at a cost, with whichever transmission you please. 
Love, it's not enough for me to buy a Subaru.

Crosstrek
---Starting: $21,595
---Base Power: 148 HP @ 6200 RPM
---Base Torque: 145 ft-lbs @ 4200 RPM

Apparently these sell well, because 'Merica! And because Crossover!
There is a hybrid version. It starts at $26,395. Total power of 160 HP @ 6000 RPM and total torque 163 ft-lbs @ 2000 PM. It manages 34 MPG highway, 30 MPG city, with a combined of 31 MPG. 
Keep in mind the non-hybrid is rated for 34 MPG highway and 26 MPG city with a CVT transmission. 
And the Impreza Sport above manages 36 MPG highway and 27 MPG city with a CVT and a bit less ground clearance, but roughly the same amount of space.
What am I really getting at with all the numbers here? This is an absolutely abysmal hybrid effort. Truly and phenomenally pathetic. If Subaru plans to meet future fuel economy regulations it had better be investing lots of money from its record sales to put something out better than the Crosstrek Hybrid.
Non-hybrid test driven briefly here. 
La petite Toyota RAV4.

Legacy
---Starting: $21,745
---Base Power: 175 HP @ 5800 RPM
---Base Torque: 174 ft-lbs @ 4000 RPM

I have always thought of the Legacy as Subaru's premium Sedan offering. I was surprised to see it priced below the Forester.
Visibility is good out of this car for a modern sedan, not too much tail lift.
I would consider this in the four seat car running if it came with a manual. They handle very well for their size.
Of course the best would be for Subaru to bring back the 2.5 GT Spec.B with the manual transmission. That would be fantastic and I would likely get one. Practical and a sleeper.
Now that these only come in automatic it has become a AWD Toyota Camry or Honda Accord.

Forester
---Starting: $22,395
---Base Power: 170 HP @ 5800 RPM
---Base Torque: 174 ft-lbs @ 4100 RPM

Big glass house is good. Still, I love the first and second generation of the Forester. My wife can attest that when I see one I comment "Forested of a good vintage". The newer ones do not do it for me. I found the handling on the newer taller models disconcerting.
Regular sized Toyota RAV4, possibly more capable.

Outback
---Starting: $24,995
---Base Power: 175 HP @ 5800 RPM
---Base Torque: 174 ft-lbs @ 4000 RPM

I learned to drive on a model year 2000 or 2001 Outback. They have since grown and become visibly chunkier and more SUV like. I preferred when they were more of a wagon.
Having helped my parents to find, purchase, and take delivery of their 2014 Premium manual I have rather extensively test driven the more or less current product (see: here, here, here, and [at the risk of being redundant] here).
Toyota RAV4 XL. Most likely more capable.

BRZ
---Starting: $25,395
---Base Power: 200 HP @ 7000 RPM
---Base Torque: 151 ft-lbs @ 6400 RPM

Nothing new to report here. Personally if I were showing one it would be in WR Blue Pearl, but then I am slightly biased towards that particular color on a BRZ.
As I own one of these I have been more or less blogging about it since before I bought it. If you would like to read those I would click "Subaru BRZ" or "Cagalli Yula" here or in the "Labels" sidebar on the right of this blog. Labels are good.

WRX
---Starting: $26,595
---Base Power: 268 HP @ 5600 RPM
---Base Torque: 258 ft-lbs @ 2000 RPM

Another Subaru that looks better in WR Blue Pearl! If they actually brought the BRZ, WRX, and WRX STI only in that color it would look a little silly. Also, Ford was not the only manufacturer with issues regarding closing trunks.
68 more HP and 107 more ft-lbs of torque, two more doors, more trunk space, plus a usable rear seat and AWD all for just $200 more. How and why are the BRZ and this so close in price?
6-speed manual transmission? Check.
FA20 based engine with direct injection? Check.
Dual zone climate control available? No.
5-door hatchback available? No.
Both port and direct injection? No.
The questions that have been answered "no" are why my wife and I will not be getting a WRX any time soon.
I have yet to be able to test drive one of these. I would like to feel the new suspension and boosted FA20 setup myself. Unfortunately I have only ever test driven a 2009 and it was at a dealership while waiting for an oil change. 
Subaru WRX: because you wanted something fun to drive that can fit four adults and did not want to spend a lot of money.
At the same time almost all the quirkiness is gone and the competition is heating up and it is almost as if the WRX is becoming too mature.

WRX STI
---Starting: $34,695
---Base Power: 305 HP @ 6000 RPM
---Base Torque: 290 ft-lbs @ 4000 RPM

WR Blue Pearl? Yes!
Gold wheels? No...
Able to close the trunk at the auto show? No. Why is this a thing?
FA20 derived engine? No, EJ257 with I believe port injection only.
Close ratio 6-speed manual.
You can get dual zone automatic climate control, which is a wonderful feature when you do long road trips with your wife and you both like the car at distinctly different temperatures.
No 5-door hatchback option.
In the case of the WRX STI I am holding off until there is a FA20 derived engine, hopefully with both direct and port injection as well as a 5-door hatchback and hopefully a bit more power on tap to better compete with the Ford Focus RS, considering price is nearly there.
It is, as a WRX STI fan in the USA, extremely frustrating that we do not get to see the likes of the WRX STI S207 , the Cosworth WRX STI CS400, WRX STI 330S, WRX STI 380S, WRX STI R205, and so on...
What was nice though is that one of the Subaru representatives at the show was not just a sales / car pitcher but also a Subaru fan and was willing to express his disappointment in Subaru's enthusiast and special edition offerings in the USA, as well as that Subaru has yet to announce a BRZ STI. I really like any representative who is frustrated with their employer for all the right reasons.
I have yet to test drive one of these either, though I have driven, albeit briefly, a 2006 and a 2013.

STI Performance Concept
---Starting: $
---Base Power: ~300 HP @  RPM
---Base Torque: ~330 ft-lbs @  RPM

Subaru dropped this, to everyone's surprise, at last year's New York International Auto Show.

I would love to access to the parts bin for this car from Subaru Tecnica International. I'd pretty much want all of it.

Okay, maybe I would not take the wing.

But the lip kit, front and rear diffusers, headlight, taillights, wide body kit, and the center dual exhaust pipes (steering wheel and seats not visible), I would take them in a heart beat. And since Subaru has proven unwilling to give us a higher output power plant I would resolve that in the aftermarket. Personally I think this looks awesome!

General Motors

Spark
---Starting: $12,270
---Base Power: 84 HP @ 6400 RPM
---Base Torque: 83 ft-lbs @ 4200 RPM

Previously test drove a 2013 or 2014.

Sonic Sedan
---Starting: $14,245
---Base Power: 138 HP @ 6300 RPM
---Base Torque: 125 ft-lbs @ 3800 RPM

Headlights on this, being without any kind of covering make me think it is an aerodynamic nightmare.

Sonic Hatchback
---Starting: $14,345
---Base Power: 138 HP @ 6300 RPM
---Base Torque: 125 ft-lbs @ 3800 RPM

Same funky headlights as the sedan.

When I took pictures of the Sonic hatchback I took pictures of the Sonic RS figuring it would be a hotter version, the Chevrolet equivalent of the Ford Fiesta ST.

I was wrong. It is just a trim and visual upgrade, no real performance upgrades except it now has disc brakes at all corners. My research to find if there was a power hike led to the discovery of this interesting listing of starred "advantages" the Sonic has over its competition including having "front disc/rear drum brakes" as an advantage over competitors with four wheel disc brakes. I had a little chat with their customer service and you can see that in the image below (view by enlarging or clicking on the image to see at original size).

Cruze
---Starting: $16,620
---Base Power: 153 HP @ 5600 RPM
---Base Torque: 177 ft-lbs @ 2000 RPM

My wife has reviewed the 2014 Cruze she had as a rental. I reviewed the 2015 Cruze while we had a rental for a different trip. This one looks pretty sharp and I see some of the Volt styling in it.

Colorado
---Starting: $20,100
---Base Power: 200 HP @ 6300 RPM
---Base Torque: 191 ft-lbs @ 4400 RPM

One of the smaller and more practical trucks I saw at the show.

This also seemed like one of the more practical bed heights to load and unload. (Correct me if I am wrong in the comments section below.)

Trax
---Starting: $20,300
---Base Power: 138 HP @ 4900 RPM
---Base Torque: 148 ft-lbs @ 1850 RPM

A small SUV for the city I suppose?

Tiny engine.

This is a rather awkward vehicle in my opinion.

City Express
---Starting: $21,955
---Base Power: 131 HP @ 5200 RPM
---Base Torque: 139 ft-lbs @ 4900 RPM
Malibu
---Starting: $22,565
---Base Power: 163 HP @ 5700 RPM
---Base Torque: 184 ft-lbs @ 2000 RPM

Looks rather similar to the Cruze to me.

Equinox
---Starting: $22,600
---Base Power: 182 HP @ 6700 RPM
---Base Torque: 172 ft-lbs @ 4900 RPM

Camaro
---Starting: $25,700
---Base Power: 275 HP @ 5600 RPM
---Base Torque: 295 ft-lbs @ 3000 RPM

I like the newer smaller proportions.

It looks smaller and more sports car like to me than the current Ford Mustangs do.

It is still a little cave like inside but the visibility out the front has gotten better. I think they still need to reduce the height of the gauge cluster housing some.

Volt 
---Starting: $25,720
---Base Power:  HP @  RPM
---Base Torque:  ft-lbs @  RPM

I like the restyling. I am not a big fan of the plastic fake grill work. If the grill work is not necessary then it would be nice to design the car without it and do something more interesting instead.

Silverado
---Starting: $26,520
---Base Power: 285 HP @ 5300 RPM
---Base Torque: 305 ft-lbs @ 3900 RPM

1500, significantly larger and higher than the Colorado and has me somewhat worried about the whole visibility of sports cars like mine next to it.

Again the bed height seems high and I would worry about loading and unloading.

The front end reminds me of the 1980s and 1990s pickup trucks. I kind of like it.

With the amount of vertical space in the front here the more covered over headlights look rather strange to me.

Impala
---Starting: $27,095
---Base Power: 305 HP @ 6800 RPM
---Base Torque: 264 ft-lbs @ 5200 RPM

While writing this post I am noticing that the Chevrolet Cruze, Malibu, and Impala are now developing a relationship of small, medium, and large of the same vehicle.

Express Cargo
---Starting: $31,590
---Base Power: 282 HP @ 1800 RPM
---Base Torque: 320 ft-lbs @ 4400 RPM

Express Passenger
---Starting: $32,190
---Base Power: 282 HP @ 4700 RPM
---Base Torque: 320 ft-lbs @ 4400 RPM
SS Sedan
---Starting: $46,575
---Base Power: 415 HP @  RPM
---Base Torque: 415 ft-lbs @  RPM
This did not make an appearance in Philadelphia. If you want to go down an interesting rabbit hole read the comments people have left on articles about this car.
Tahoe
---Starting: $47,000
---Base Power: 355 HP @ 5600 RPM
---Base Torque: 383 ft-lbs @ 4100 RPM

Suburban
---Starting: $49,700
---Base Power: 355 HP @ 5600 RPM
---Base Torque: 383 ft-lbs @ 4100 RPM

I am likely beating a dead horse at this point, but I hope this has blind spot sensors.

Camaro ZL1 (based on 2015 model information)
---Starting: $55,505
---Base Power: 580 HP @ 6000 RPM
---Base Torque: 556 ft-lbs @ 4200 RPM
Corvette Stingray
---Starting: $55,400
---Base Power: 455 HP @ 6000 RPM
---Base Torque: 460 ft-lbs @ 4600 RPM

These like a lot like Ferrari's when they are coming up behind you.

The targa top aspect is a nice plus.

An American sports car. Super car more likely.

Comes as a convertible too.

Camaro Z/28 (based on 2015 model information)
---Starting: $72,305
---Base Power: 505 HP @ 6100 RPM
---Base Torque: 481 ft-lbs @ 4800 RPM
Corvette Z06
---Starting: $79,000
---Base Power: 650 HP @ 6400 RPM
---Base Torque: 650 ft-lbs @ 3600 RPM

I was a little surprised how low the price is for a base one all things considered.

Comes with a lot more aero parts.

LT4 engine, coming to an engine swap near you (might be a few years though).

I miss the round taillights. They were tradition.

I am going to compare Ford against GM here ignoring Fiat Chrysler Automobiles in the process. With Ford, if you want a fancier Ford you option yourself a fancier Ford, same with their trucks. If you want to buy a really fancy Ford, a luxurious one, you buy a Lincoln. Lincoln has a lot of overlap with Ford's product line, but not complete overlap.
With GM things are a bit different. If you want a fancier Chevrolet you can option a nicer one. Or, perhaps for a better deal, though I am not sure, you could get a Buick. So there is a lot of overlap between Chevrolet and Buick. But then if you want a fancier Chevrolet truck you go to GMC, unless of course you optioned up your Chevrolet truck. Now, GM does have a luxury brand in Cadillac but in its lower ranks it has a lot of overlap and brand confusion. I kind of wonder what the sales figures are like and how this plays out compared to Ford.
Canyon
---Starting: $20,955
---Base Power: 305 HP @ 6800 RPM
---Base Torque: 269 ft-lbs @ 4000 RPM

Big truck, not huge truck, but still big.

Terrain
---Starting: $23,975
---Base Power: 182 HP @ 6700 RPM
---Base Torque: 172 ft-lbs @ 4900 RPM

Sierra
---Starting: $27,515
---Base Power: 285 HP @ 5300 RPM
---Base Torque: 305 ft-lbs @ 3900 RPM

One more entrant for the "my truck is bigger than yours" game.

Again, does the bed height make sense?

I hope those extended mirrors not only help with towing but also show you the small cars next to you on the passenger side. I am seriously worried about this considering inattentive drivers and drivers paying attention to cell phones and not paying attention to the other cars on the road while driving something this big. Sure, the driver of this will be safe, the rest of us just might have a lot of body work to fix...

Savana Cargo
---Starting: $30,595
---Base Power: 285 HP @ 6400 RPM
---Base Torque: 295 ft-lbs @ 4600 RPM
Acadia
---Starting: $30,975
---Base Power: 281 HP @ 6300 RPM
---Base Torque: 266 ft-lbs @ 3400 RPM

Subaru and this have a similar headlight surround, primarily the WRX and Ipreza Concept.

Savana Passenger
---Starting: $32,990
---Base Power: 285 HP @ 5400 RPM
---Base Torque: 295 ft-lbs @ 4600 RPM
Ykon
---Starting: $48,315
---Base Power: 355 HP @ 5600 RPM
---Base Torque: 383 ft-lbs @ 4100 RPM

Yukon: because a Chevy badge on your Suburban was uncool.

Since I seem to be developing a theme as I go through these... Buick: we rounded out all those angles that make the Chevy offerings somewhat interesting so that the owner cannot cut themselves on any sharp corners or edges.
Verano
---Starting: $21,990
---Base Power: 180 HP @ 6700 RPM
---Base Torque: 171 ft-lbs @ 4900 RPM

Chevy Cruze with added badge snobbery and less defined features.

Encore
---Starting: $24,990
---Base Power: 138 HP @ 4900 RPM
---Base Torque: 148 ft-lbs @ 1850 RPM

Fancy Chevy Trax.

Roughly $5,000 more expensive at base prices. I assume this has $5,000 worth of options?

Regal 
---Starting: $27,990
---Base Power: 182 HP @ 6700 RPM
---Base Torque: 172 ft-lbs @ 4900 RPM

Now a Chevy Malibu with rounder features and a nice badge. Remember when the Regal came as the T-Type, Grand National, and GNX trims? Those were cool. These are not.

Envision
---Starting: $
---Base Power: 252 HP @  RPM
---Base Torque: 260 ft-lbs @  RPM

Crossover Chevy Cruze.

Or...

Crossover Buick Verano.

LaCrosse
---Starting: $31,990
---Base Power: 304 HP @ 6800 RPM
---Base Torque: 264 ft-lbs @ 5300 RPM

The contact sport this is not.

A rounded and less edgy Chevy Impala it is.

Enclave
---Starting: $39,990
---Base Power: 288 HP @ 6300 RPM
---Base Torque: 270 ft-lbs @ 3400 RPM

Because having the Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Cadillac XT5 did not provide potential buyers enough options and trims for this platform we have the Buick Enclave.

ATS Sedan
---Starting: $33,215
---Base Power: 202 HP @ 6300 RPM
---Base Torque: 191 ft-lbs @ 4400 RPM
Available with a manual in RWD but only with the 2.0 L turbo.
SRX
---Starting: $37,605
---Base Power: 308 HP @ 6800 RPM
---Base Torque: 265 ft-lbs @ 2400 RPM

XT5
---Starting: $
---Base Power:  HP @  RPM
---Base Torque:  ft-lbs @  RPM

New SRX. Different grill, headlights, and taillights.

ATS Coupe 
---Starting: $37,995
---Base Power: 272 HP @ 5500 RPM
---Base Torque: 295 ft-lbs @ 3000 RPM
Available with a manual transmission so long as you get the 2.0 L turbo and RWD.
XTS
---Starting: $45,295
---Base Power: 304 HP @ 6800 RPM
---Base Torque: 264 ft-lbs @ 5200 RPM

This is FWD with optional AWD and supposedly larger than the CTS. It is rather confusing as to the differences and so on.

CTS
---Starting: $45,560
---Base Power: 268 HP @ 5600 RPM
---Base Torque: 295 ft-lbs @ 3000 RPM
CT6
---Starting: $53,495
---Base Power: 265 HP @ 5500 RPM
---Base Torque: 295 ft-lbs @ 3000 RPM

New, possibly not quire range topping Cadillac sedan.

In other words there are rumors and guesses that Cadillac will be releasing something even larger and more luxurious.

In various automotive outlets it seems to be reviewed favorably compared to some of the German and Japanese luxury offerings.

ATS-V Sedan
---Starting: $60,465
---Base Power: 464 HP @ 5850 RPM
---Base Torque: 445 ft-lbs @ 3500 RPM
In a car market where increasing numbers of hot luxury cars are only being offered with a dual clutch automatic or some other variation thereof it is nice that Cadillac offers a manual option for this car.
ATS-V Coupe
---Starting: $62,665
---Base Power: 464 HP @ 5850 RPM
---Base Torque: 445 ft-lbs @ 3500 RPM

Again, Cadillac offers a manual option here as well. Kudos to them!
Also the new Chevy Camaro is based off the same chassis as this car and is supposed to be very good. 

ELR
---Starting: $65,995
---Total Base Power: 233 HP @  RPM
---Total Base Torque: 373 ft-lbs @  RPM

It is a Chevrolet Volt!

Except it has two fewer doors and is more luxurious. Unfortunately it still has the whole fake grill thing going.

Escalade
---Starting: $72,970
---Base Power: 420 HP @ 5600 RPM
---Base Torque: 460 ft-lbs @ 4100 RPM

This should be substantially nicer than the Chevy Suburban, unlike the GMC Yukon. No brand confusion once you get to Cadillac.

Also a sill for stepping on deploys when the door is open.

CTS-V
---Starting: $83,995
---Base Power: 640 HP @ 6400 RPM
---Base Torque: 630 ft-lbs @ 3600 RPM

Unlike the ATS-V there is no manual option, this makes me sad.

Groupe Renault

Almost no closable, or maybe no closable, boots at Nissan. This means that images getting the lines of the car captured were rather difficult.
Strange peculiarity about Nissan's website: the Cube is still listed, denoted as from 2014, discusses the features in some detail but encourages you to look at a Versa Note if you are interested in a new car. It was rather strange because price information was included for the Cube, but I did not list it below because it is not currently on sale.
Versa
---Starting: $11,990
---Base Power: 109 HP @ 6000 RPM
---Base Torque: 107 ft-lbs @ 4400 RPM

Versa Note
---Starting: $14,230
---Base Power: 109 HP @ 6000 RPM
---Base Torque: 107 ft-lbs @ 4400 RPM

Sentra
---Starting: $16,780
---Base Power: 130 HP @ 6000 RPM
---Base Torque: 128 ft-lbs @ 3600 RPM

Currently the size of the old 1990s Altima.

Frontier
---Starting: $18,290
---Base Power: 152 HP @ 5200 RPM
---Base Torque: 171 ft-lbs @ 4400 RPM

Practical truck with, what is in my opinion, practical bed height. Also does not look like it is compensating or trying to outdo anyone else. If I were to get a pickup, this would likely be the type (though not necessarily a Nissan) so long as it could pull a car on or in a trailer.

Juke
---Starting: $20,250
---Base Power: 188 HP @ 5600 RPM
---Base Torque: 177 ft-lbs @ 1600 RPM

Funky city oriented mini SUV.

NV200 Compact Cargo
---Starting: $20,870
---Base Power: 131 HP @ 5200 RPM
---Base Torque: 139 ft-lbs @ 4800 RPM

I do not remember all these small city vans being a thing when I was a kid, I like this trend.

Altima
---Starting: $22,500
---Base Power: 182 HP @ 6000 RPM
---Base Torque: 180 ft-lbs @ 4000 RPM

Currently the size of the 1990s Maxima.

Rogue
---Starting: $23,290
---Base Power: 170 HP @ 6000 RPM
---Base Torque: 175 ft-lbs @ 4400 RPM

Quest
---Starting: $26,580
---Base Power: 260 HP @ 6000 RPM
---Base Torque: 240 ft-lbs @ 4400 RPM

Fun facts, my parents bought a 1990 Nissan Axxis in 1989. It was the only year it was sold in the US market. It was a MPV, smaller than the Quest was when it was introduced to the US market. It had a fatal flaw, the timing chain relied on a nylon tensioner that would go and seize the engine, and if you were attempting preventative maintenance you had to pull the engine to service the part.
It also had a 5-speed manual transmission. I learned to shift left handed on that car with my dad depressing the clutch when I was around 6 or 7 years old. It was the first car I helped with brakes, oil changes, car washes and interior detailing and so on. I also assisted with my first compression test on this car, at age 6, and had to stand on the clutch and brake and turn the key. My dad getting me to help with that is probably what first got me into cars.
So right, why am I talking about this here? We went to replace the Axxis with a Nissan Quest but no manuals were available and that is how my family ended up with a Subaru Outback and how that spiraled. But yeah, a lot of my car enthusiasm and knowledge starts with the predecessor to the Nissan Quest.

I would argue this is the only pure electric equally committed to the cause as Tesla. Nissan deserves props for keeping the price down and keeping this project going.

That little mushroom looking thing in the center of the silver ring in the gear selector and it both weird and really cool / unique.

Murano
---Starting: $29,660
---Base Power: 260 HP @ 6000 RPM

I do like the redesign. I wonder about the rear visibility but I guess there are sensors for that.

Pathfinder
---Starting: $29,830
---Base Power: 260 HP @ 6400 RPM
---Base Torque: 240 ft-lbs @ 4400 RPM

A far cry from its older much boxier versions.

NV200 Taxi
---Starting: $29,900
---Base Power: 131 HP @ 5200 RPM

370Z Coupe
---Starting: $29,990
---Base Power: 332 HP @ 7000 RPM
---Base Torque: 270 ft-lbs @ 5200 RPM

I am not sure this was the most flattering color to bring to the show of the 370Z. I just wish this car's hood height was about 2 inches lower across the board so the tops of the wheels were closer to the car lines, I hold to this even when the car is lowered, though lowering helps a lot.

Maxima
---Starting: $32,510
---Base Power: 300 HP @ 6400 RPM
---Base Torque: 261 ft-lbs @ 4400 RPM

I like this redesign too. Too bad about the trunk being open.

This poor Armada had kids tumbling all over its interior (those kids are out of shot on the right above). The representative was talking to the mother and trying a hard sell.

Titan XD
---Starting: $40,290
---Base Power: 310 HP @ 3200 RPM

Comes standard with a V8 diesel.
This thing struck me by how big it was. Men (not women, just men) were climbing in and out of this thing like it was the hottest car at the show. I am pretty sure small sports cars would be lost to the driver if they are on the passenger side. All I can think is that this compensates for something the owner feels they are lacking. It is not particularly practical for parking, fuel economy, or anything else. How many people are going to buy this for its intended purpose? Also, I wish I had paid attention to the brakes on this. I hope they are huge, there is a lot of mass here.

370Z Roadster
---Starting: $41,820
---Base Power: 332 HP @ 7000 RPM
---Base Torque: 270 ft-lbs @ 5200 RPM
I was never a fan of the 350Z Roadster with the top up and I do not think the 370Z Roadster fixed it for me. I feel like the top needs more raking of more angle to the back or just be closer to the rear end of the car.
370Z Nismo

---Base Power: 350 HP @ 7400 RPM
---Base Torque: 276 ft-lbs @ 5200 RPM
GT-R
---Starting: $101,770
---Base Power: 545 HP @ 6400 RPM
---Base Torque: 463 ft-lbs @ 3200 RPM

The Nissan GT-R (R35) has been in production since 2007.

Nissan keeps on tweaking the build making it incrementally better at the base level and even better in the Nismo version.

This becomes a funny thing when reading over new sports and super car reviews. Automotive magazines and online publications continuously either ignore the facts it exists or devote one line along that boils down to: "Yeah, the GT-R exists and can probably outperform this and cost less money, but we do not want to talk about it." I think the assumption is there is nothing new enough about the GT-R to make it sexy, to make it worth mentioning, because it is old news. And I am not sure that is fair. In 2007 Nissan launched a car, a remake of a legend, that with relatively minor updates has remained relevant in raw performance numbers even now 9 years later. Instead of being dismissive of the GT-R I think automotive journalist should praise it for applying so much upward pressure on other automakers that they have been pulling out all the stops to beat it.
I like the GT-R. I am not its most devoted fanboy. But it makes an extremely good case for itself in both 'bang for your buck' and as a flat out performance car. One of the coolest things about this car to me is that it was engineered between the down force it produces and its weight to have the same power to weight ratio as an F1 car when entering a high speed corner. As a fan of corners I appreciate this.
Is it my favorite looking super car? No. But I would be more than happy to own a Nismo.

There were no Q60 coupes that I saw at this show. The Q60 is interesting if you are looking for a manual transmission. A manual is only available in the Q60S and Q60S Limited. The Q60S starts at $5,100 more than the base model but does not come with any more power. It is one of the few instances I can find of the manual being more expensive than the automatic transmission. Go figure.

Honda Motor Company

---Base Power: 130 HP @ 6600 RPM
---Base Torque: 114 ft-lbs @ 4600 RPM

In the US this car does not necessarily get a lot of aftermarket love. In other markets, as the Honda Jazz, there is a fair amount of enthusiastic tuning of this car.

Civic Coupe 
---Starting: $18,290
---Base Power: 143 HP @ 6500 RPM
---Base Torque: 129 ft-lbs @ 4300 RPM
I either missed the Civic Coupe at the show or they did not have one.

---Starting: $18,725
---Base Power: 98 HP @ 5800 RPM

The Honda Insight use to be really cool in that it was a hybrid available with a manual transmission. As far as I can tell this is no longer true and it disappoints me a lot.
HR-V
---Starting: $19,215
---Base Power: 141 HP @ 6500 RPM

---Base Power: 130 HP @ 6000 RPM

To my knowledge this is still available with a manual transmission. I am a fan of hybrids with manuals.
Accord Sedan
---Starting: $22,205
---Base Power: 185 HP @ 6400 RPM
---Base Torque: 181 ft-lbs @ 3900 RPM

The speedometer on this car looks really cool. In some ways I would say this speedometer looks way cooler than it has any business being, but I really like it.

Civic Si Coupe
---Starting: $22,890
---Base Power: 205 HP @ 7000 RPM
---Base Torque: 174 ft-lbs @ 4400 RPM
This one definitely was not at the show, I looked for it. Also the Civic Type R was not there either. Actually, as far as I can tell the Type R is not yet confirmed, at least on Honda's website, for the US market.

Acura used to be the slightly fancier Honda. It was also a bit more sporty in many ways. A lost of cars had a S version and a lot of cards had a manual available. I miss those days.

This hybrid super car did not make an appearance at Auto Show Philadelphia 2016. It is a shame, it would have been nice to see more of the high end cars at the show.

Hyundai Motor Group

I am not yet 30, so, take the following with that perspective regarding the following: Hyundai is one of the most improved car makers since my childhood. And they have also pushed the automotive industry, at least in the USA, with their offering of a 100,000 mile warranty for power train and the car itself.
Accent
---Starting: $14,745
---Base Power: 137 HP @ 6300 RPM
---Base Torque: 123 ft-lbs @ 4850 RPM

When I was growing up my friend's parents had one of these. It was super small and light, in many ways similar to a Honda EG6 Civic in appearance.

Elantra
---Starting: $17,150
---Base Power: 147 HP @ 6200 RPM
---Base Torque: 132 ft-lbs @ 4500 RPM

Veloster
---Starting: $18,000
---Base Power: 132 HP @ 6300 RPM
---Base Torque: 120 ft-lbs @ 4850 RPM
Elantra GT
---Starting: $18,800
---Base Power: 173 HP @ 6500 RPM
---Base Torque: 154 ft-lbs @ 4700 RPM

Veloster Turbo
---Starting: $21,600
---Base Power: 201 HP @ 6000 RPM
---Base Torque: 195 ft-lbs @ 1750 RPM

The fast Veloster. All the Velosters, to me, look like a giant sat on them and the rear end was permanently sunken as a result.

Sonata
---Starting: $21,750
---Base Power: 185 HP @ 6000 RPM
---Base Torque: 178 ft-lbs @ 4000 RPM

Had the "pleasure" of having one of these as a rental recently and wrote a review.

Tucson
---Starting: $22,700
---Base Power: 164 HP @ 6200 RPM
---Base Torque: 151 ft-lbs @ 4000 RPM

I have not seen many (any) of these gold wrapped in the wild. But the National Football League (NFL) brought one for a guess how many footballs are in here game. It was shiny and these pictures probably do not do this wrap justice.

Santa Fe Sport
---Starting: $25,350
---Base Power: 185 HP @ 6000 RPM
---Base Torque: 178 ft-lbs @ 4000 RPM

I made a mistake in photographing. Apparently the Santa Fe and Santa Fe sport are not just different trims but are actually differently sized vehicles in the Hyundai lineup.

Genesis Coupe
---Starting: $26,950
---Base Power: 348 HP @ 6400 RPM
---Base Torque: 295 ft-lbs @ 5100 RPM

Another of the $25,000 to $30,000 sports coupes. Only available with a V6 now. It has a higher power output than the Nissan 370Z.

Hyundai has recently announced that Genesis will be split off as a luxury brand (similar to Toyota / Lexus, Honda / Acura, Nissan / Infiniti, etc.). It will be interesting to see if the Genesis Coupe remains in the Hyundai product line or moves up to Genesis or has options in both.

Santa Fe
---Starting: $30,800
---Base Power: 290 HP @ 6400 RPM
---Base Torque: 252 ft-lbs @ 5200 RPM
Larger than the Santa Fe Sport and can host up to seven seats.
Azera
---Starting: $34,100
---Base Power: 293 HP @ 6400 RPM
---Base Torque: 255 ft-lbs @ 5200 RPM

Slotted between the Sonata and Genesis sedan. Front wheel drive as far as I can tell.

Genesis Sedan
---Starting: $38,750
---Base Power: 311 HP @ 6000 RPM
---Base Torque: 293 ft-lbs @ 5000 RPM

Rear wheel drive. This, according to reviewers, is one of the nicest car interiors available at this price point. This car will likely be making it to the Genesis marque.

Equus
---Starting: $61,500
---Base Power: 429 HP @ 6400 RPM
---Base Torque: 376 ft-lbs @ 5000 RPM

Another Hyundai likely to be moved up to the Genesis marque. A Hyundai luxury barge.

Kia Motors Corporation 
This is an interesting one to list. Hyundai Motor Group has a 33.88% (based on internet research) stake in Kia Motors. Also, Kia and Hyundai share a lot of platforms and engines. So in many ways the Republic of Korea's (South Korea's) two largest automotive manufacturers are in fact a single automotive company, but not quite to the extent that one is a more or less wholly owned subsidiary of the other.

Another company, like Hyundai, to make remarkable gains in quality and public perception since my childhood. Kia also has a lot of cars in SX trim with extra horsepower, all, if I recall correctly, above 200 HP.
Rio
---Starting: $14,165
---Base Power: 138 HP @ 6300 RPM
---Base Torque: 123 ft-lbs @ 4850 RPM
Rio 5-door
---Starting: $15,495
---Base Power: 138 HP @ 6300 RPM
---Base Torque: 123 ft-lbs @ 4850 RPM

Soul
---Starting: $15,800
---Base Power: 130 HP @ 6300 RPM
---Base Torque: 118 ft-lbs @ 4850 RPM

The Soul apparently comes in three sub-models: Soul, Soul+, and Soul!. Also there is an electric vehicle (EV).

Forte
---Starting: $15,990
---Base Power: 145 HP @ 6500 RPM
---Base Torque: 130 ft-lbs @ 4700 RPM

Forte5
---Starting: $18,090
---Base Power: 173 HP @ 6500 RPM
---Base Torque: 154 ft-lbs @ 4700 RPM

Forte Koup
---Starting: $19,890
---Base Power: 173 HP @ 6500 RPM
---Base Torque: 154 ft-lbs @ 4700 RPM
In base form this stacks up well against the Honda Civic Coupe and Hyundai Veloster, etc. At the SX trim level the additional horsepower puts this car squarely against the Hyundai Veloster Turbo and Honda Civic Si. I have not read much about these though and I have no idea how well they handle.
Optima
---Starting: $21,990
---Base Power: 185 HP @ 6000 RPM
---Base Torque: 178 ft-lbs @ 4000 RPM

Had a 2015 as a rental for a brief period and reviewed it.

A1A Optima Concept
This is very much an aesthetics job.
I am really not a fan of how large the wheels were made while the brakes were left seemingly untouched leaving gaping holes in the wheels as compared to the brakes. I prefer when these are better filled out.

Sportage
---Starting: $22,990
---Base Power: 181 HP @ 6000 RPM
---Base Torque: 175 ft-lbs @ 4000 RPM

The headlights have a rather interesting design as do the fog lights. Also very gold, though not as shiny, like the Hyundai Tucson.

Sorento
---Starting: $25,100
---Base Power: 185 HP @ 6000 RPM
---Base Torque: 178 ft-lbs @ 4000 RPM

Had an older model as a rental one time, was not our first choice, but reviewed it.

---Starting: $26,400
---Base Power: 276 HP @ 6000 RPM
---Base Torque: 248 ft-lbs @ 5200 RPM

Cadenza
---Starting: $32,990
---Base Power: 293 HP @ 6400 RPM
---Base Torque: 255 ft-lbs @ 5200 RPM
K900
---Starting: $49,000
---Base Power: 311 HP @ 6000 RPM
---Base Torque: 293 ft-lbs @ 5000 RPM

Mazda Motor Corporation

Mazda in many ways is my favorite entry point automaker. What Mazda does, that many other automakers seem not to do anymore, is make good affordable A to B cars that can still be fun to drive. One would hope this is the case with all their "Zoom Zoom" marketing. It is true though. They are not sports cars, at least not at the Mazda3 and Mazda6 level, but they handle well, the engine revs well, and all in all they feel more alive. They are cars that can sell on their driving experience not just their price / feature set and I feel this is something that is missing from a lot of the entry level automakers these days.
On the Mazda3 they let you purchase any trim level with a manual transmission. Unfortunately this is not true above the Mazda3 level. I also wish that Mazda still offered the Mazda5 in the US market. It is a compact MPV with seating for up to seven. But more importantly the Mazda5 was available with a manual transmission, which is exactly the seven seat vehicle I would like to get, when I need one, at least in terms of transmission availability.
It should also be noted that the Mazda Skyactiv engine is likely the best naturally aspirated 4-cylinder available. In non-USA markets this engine is sold with a 14:1 compression ratio and additional HP and torque than the US variants because they are running on higher octane fuel. The USA market cars are set at a 13:1 compression ratio so that it can use regular (87 octane) gasoline (13:1 is still rather high, most of the industry seems to be around 9:1 to 11:1 in the US market with a few outlying engines hitting 12.5:1). The Skyactiv in many ways reminds me of the old Honda engines, though they also only rev out to around 6200 or 6500 RPM, so not quite as rev happy.
Also, it should be noted that just about every great (4-cylinder, and sometimes 6-cylinder) Ford engine in recent history has first been applied in a Mazda, for example the Ford Duratec engines first saw application as Mazda L (MZR) engines.
Mazda3 4-Door
---Starting: $17,845
---Base Power: 155 HP @ 6000 RPM
---Base Torque: 150 ft-lbs @ 4000 RPM

This looks a lot like the Mazda6. Then again, this is a Mazda and a lot of non-Mazda cars look like the Mazda6. It is a pretty good design and comes with a wonderful engine. Also I love that Mazda allows you to option whatever package and features you want on the Mazda3 (I wish they did this with more of their cars). But unlike the Subaru Impreza I can order this as a top of the line fully featured Mazda3 with a manual transmission, something that is not available from a lot of manufacturers.

My wife and I test drove one more than a year ago. It was relatively fun with a bit of understeer. Unfortunately we did not write up a review of the experience. My only complaint is the rear lifts a bit more than necessary harming rear visibility just a bit.

Mazda3 5-Door
---Starting: $18,545
---Base Power: 155 HP @ 6000 RPM
---Base Torque: 150 ft-lbs @ 4000 RPM

The C-pillars and the roof line coming down in the back harm rear visibility a lot and make this rather cave like. Otherwise very similar to an Impreza 5-door except no AWD but better (read "all") options available with a manual transmission, including navigation and dual zone automatic climate control, all at a starting price of $23,245 for an i Gran Touring or $25,445 for a s Grand Touring with the more powerful engine. To get dual zone climate control and navigation with a manual transmission (dual zone climate control being the more important, but features my wife and I absolutely love when doing road trips in my Subaru BRZ) you would need to purchase a Subaru WRX STI starting at $34,695 but you would be giving up a hatch back and have a much more thirsty (less fuel economical) engine which you may or may not want (keep in mind, despite how Subaru lists its vehicle models that a WRX and WRX STI are really just fancier / hotter Imprezas). Granted I have not done this analysis for every car manufacturer. But I just want to note that Mazda really impresses me, at least at the Mazda3 level, with manual transmission and optional feature availability. I am not going into Nissan here, but when we were looking all you could get was a base Sentra or Versa / Versa Note with a manual (unless a 370Z) and the option availability made just about any other company look generous.
Why am I going into this? In the USA manual is no longer standard for sales. If you are a new car purchaser going through the hassle of finding a car available with a manual, test driving the car (because most of us like to test drive cars including transmission feel, I think / hope), and then purchase one, then you are likely one of the most discerning purchasers to walk into that dealership. As such I think the full option book (where it makes sense, i.e. I understand automatic braking systems might not work with a manual transmission) should be available to the purchaser. So I applaud Mazda for doing this with the Mazda3 4-door and 5-door and wish that other manufacturers would do the same.

Mazda CX-3
---Starting: $19,960
---Base Power: 146 HP @ 6000 RPM
---Base Torque: 146 ft-lbs @ 2800 RPM

In the US every car now seems to have a crossover version of itself. And, whereas Mazda will sell the Mazda3 in any guise and trim with a manual transmission the CX-3 is not available with a manual transmission in any trim level.

Mazda6
---Starting: $21,495
---Base Power: 184 HP @ 5700 RPM
---Base Torque: 185 ft-lbs @ 3250 RPM

I would argue this car's styling is the most copied by Mazda (which is fair, design language, family resemblance, and all) and is most copied by other automakers. To me this car is both good looking and for the most part very inoffensive. The rear end lift harms rear visibility a bit but is not terrible.

My wife and I test drove this on the same day we test drove the Mazda3. We liked it, though we liked the lighter, smaller, and more nimble Mazda3 a bit more. Unfortunately we did not write up our thoughts.

Unfortunately Mazda does not allow the Mazda6 Grand Touring to be purchased with a manual, and therefore unlike the Mazda3 full optional feature selection is not available to the manual transmission buyer. Mazda6 Sport and Touring trims do have an optional manual (I state "optional" because most sold in the US and on dealer lots will be automatic).
The Mazda6 is also available as a wagon outside the US, I wish that model were offered here as well.

Mazda CX-5
---Starting: $21,795
---Base Power: 155 HP @ 6000 RPM
---Base Torque: 150 ft-lbs @ 4000 RPM

Mazda MX-5 Miata
---Starting: $24,915
---Base Power: 155 HP @ 6000 RPM
---Base Torque: 148 ft-lbs @ 4600 RPM

It looks good, I am not personally 100% sold on the new front / headlights but it looks good overall and lighter and smaller than the 2nd (NB) and 3rd (NC) generations.

My uncle had a first generation (NA). It was the first rear wheel drive (RWD) vehicle I ever drove and was lots of fun.

Reviews I have read and watched have complained that the suspension is rather soft compared to previous generation, and while easily fixable (new suspension) and more compliant on bad roads (a plus of sorts), this does mean the car is coming with a sort of manufactured flaw. This strikes me as similar to the Subaru BRZ and Scion FR-S that come with a torque dip and are arguably a bit down on power from what people would like from factory.

Mazda MX-5 Miata PRHT (based on 2015 model information)
---Starting: $28,665
---Base Power: 167 HP @ 7000 RPM
---Base Torque: 140 ft-lbs @ 5000 RPM
This model was listed on Mazda's web page. It may still be available to some extent; I am not sure.
Mazda CX-9
---Starting: $29,985
---Base Power: 273 HP @ 6250 RPM
---Base Torque: 270 ft-lbs @ 4250 RPM
This is the current Mazda seven seat vehicle available in the US market. No manual availability like was available in the Mazda5.

McLaren Automotive

McLaren did not have the awesome showing and display that it did at the 2015 New York International Auto Show so no close ups this time around. McLaren's website is scant on HP and torque figures displayed on the site, I downloaded summaries for configurations to get the information I have here. Pricing information is also non-existent. Even more true for the P1 and P1 GTR. But, yeah, as a spectator to the super / hyper car market it is cool to have McLaren as a player.

Why it is displayed with both doors open I cannot say. On the passenger side it would have been nice to have the more or less uninterrupted lines of the car.

Mitsubishi Motors Corporation

At this auto show Mitsubishi only had a Mirage, Lancer, Outlander Sport, maybe an Outlander (I may have messed up as with Hyundai in not realizing the Outlander and Outlander Sport are two separate vehicles), and a Lancer Evolution Final Edition (FE). 
Also, whatever happened to the Eclipse? It was discontinued for the 2012 model year.
Mirage
---Starting: $12,995
---Base Power: 74 HP @ 6000 RPM
---Base Torque: 74 ft-lbs @ 4000 RPM

I have had a 2015 as a rental and reviewed it. While I like that a fuel efficient three cylinder is being offered in the US market and at a very low price point I have no desire to own one.

Lancer
---Starting: $17,595
---Base Power: 148 HP @ 6000 RPM
---Base Torque: 145 ft-lbs @ 4200 RPM
Outlander Sport
---Starting: $19,595
---Base Power: 148 HP @ 6000 RPM
---Base Torque: 145 ft-lbs @ 4200 RPM

Outlander
---Starting: $22,995
---Base Power: 166 HP @ 6000 RPM
---Base Torque: 162 ft-lbs @ 4200 RPM
I-MIEV
---Starting: $22,995
---Base Power: 66 HP @ 3000 RPM
---Base Torque: 145 ft-lbs @ 0 RPM
I have previously commented about this being one of the ugliest cars in production, but at least it is an EV. It did not make an appearance at this auto show. I do love the RPM at which torque is available at though.
Lancer Evolution
---Starting: $34,495
---Base Power: 291 HP @ 6500 RPM
---Base Torque: 300 ft-lbs @ 4000 RPM

This is the Final Edition (FE) which is based on the GSR.

According to the most recent press releases it appears that Mitsubishi is bowing out of the all wheel drive performance gasoline engine scene. It is possible that the "Evolution" badge will be resurrected for a hybrid or electric vehicle in the future. This will mean the end of what Subaru has viewed / targeted as its main competitor for the WRX STI, but the Ford Focus RS and VW Golf R have both taken its place, not to mention a possible Honda Civic Type R offered in the US.

Lotus is a little bit funny in the USA. The information (models, power figures, and so on) were pulled off of Lotus' website. Now, if you go to buy a Lotus in the US you can visit the dealer specific sites in which case the models, pricing (especially since all of this is listed in British pounds), and power figures might be different. This is in part because it often takes Lotus a long time to get new models approved for offering for sale in the US, if they get offered at all. What this all means is a lot of what you see on the dealership webpages are often old models, especially in the case of the Evora, and may therefore have lower power outputs and so on than the newest offerings elsewhere in the world.
While Lotus did not have a display at the auto show I thought it would be worth listing as they are a manufacturer of enthusiast vehicles and do have some, all be it constrained, availability in the US market. To me, if I had money to buy a Porsche sports car in my pocket I would seriously be looking at Lotus as well, might not be as good a GT car, but should be a real driver's car.

Something interesting to note about Jaguar is that for the most part the trim level does not change the engine availability except when you get to the F-Type and the XJ. In many ways Jaguar is most likely the luxury brand I would buy a luxury car from, though most likely a used one as the depreciation on the luxury market is harsh.
XE
---Starting: $34,900
---Base Power: 240 HP @ 5500 RPM
---Base Torque: 251 ft-lbs @ 1750 RPM

F-Pace
---Starting: $40,990
---Base Power: 180 HP @ 4000 RPM
---Base Torque: 318 ft-lbs @ 1750 RPM

The base engine offered is a diesel and is seemingly available at all trim levels.

To me this looks like it might eat into Land Rover sales, but I guess they feel like this will not harm sales.

XF
---Starting: $51,900
---Base Power: 340 HP @ 6500 RPM
---Base Torque: 332 ft-lbs @ 3500 RPM

I drove one of these and briefly mused about it. I have also driven my friend's, which I think is a first generation of some specification, and it was pleasurable. They seem like they would be very nice places to drive a lot of miles in. Perhaps a fantastic cross country road trip car.

F-Type Coupe                         / S            / R            / SVR
---Starting: $61,400                                / $79,100       / $105,400     / $125,950
---Base Power: 340 HP @ 6500 RPM     / 380 @ 6500 / 550 @ 6500 / 575 @ 6500
---Base Torque: 332 ft-lbs @ 3500 RPM / 339 @ 3500 / 502 @ 2500 / 516 @ 3500

I very much like the appearance of these.

I like the the regular and S versions are offered with manual transmissions.

If I were in the market for a car in this price, power, and luxury range this is probably my favorite of the offerings out there, except maybe a Porsche Cayman.

F-Type Convertible                 / S            / R            / SVR
---Starting: $65,400                                / $82,200       / $108,250     / $128,800
---Base Power: 340 HP @ 6500 RPM     / 380 @ 6500 / 550 @ 6500 / 575 @ 6500
---Base Torque: 332 ft-lbs @ 3500 RPM / 339 @ 3500 / 502 @ 2500 / 516 @ 3500

Drove one of these shortly after their release at the invitation of a Jaguar dealership. My friend joined me; at the time he owned a XJ (I believe a XJ X308 with the supercharged V8, now he owns a XF). I drove the S, he drove the R. We both loved the experience. The top was down and we had the youngest salesperson in the dealership with us. The salesperson instructed us to go on a route that he knew of without cops and encouraged us to really open it up on a nice straight. The acceleration was exhilarating and the noise, the pops and burble from the exhaust were fantastic. I wish I had written it up at the time. It was a really fun experience.

XJ                                  / Supercharged / XJR
---Starting: $74,400                                / $92,000       / $118,000
---Base Power: 340 HP @ 6500 RPM     / 470 @ 6000 / 550 @ 6000
---Base Torque: 332 ft-lbs @ 3500 RPM / 424 @ 2000 / 502 @ 2000

Also available as a long wheel base. I have driven one briefly and mused about it.
I have also driven my friend's XJ (I believe a XJ X308 with the supercharged V8, now he owns a XF). While large it handled well on the interstate and the pickup was fantastic. Furthermore all front and rear seats were heated which was great for all of us in the car as we had spent the day doing a ~24 mile hike and were all achy but all had heated seats. Heated seats are a wonderful feature.

Land Rover's website is rather mum on peak HP @ RPM figures; peak torque @ RPM is readily available.
Discovery Sport
---Starting: $37,455
---Base Power: 240 HP @  RPM
---Base Torque: 250 ft-lbs @ 1750 RPM

It wears its name proudly across its hood.

Range Rover Evoque 5 Door
---Starting: $41,475
---Base Power: 240 HP @  RPM
---Base Torque: 250 ft-lbs @ 1750 RPM
Also available as a Coupe (2 doors + rear hatch) starting at $46,675 and as a Convertible, again only 2 doors, starting at $50,475.

LR4
---Starting: $50,400
---Base Power: 340 HP @  RPM
---Base Torque: 332 ft-lbs @ 3500 RPM

The glass house, especially that rear most part, along with the roof line, on this vehicle are very different and interesting.

Range Rover Sport        / Supercharged / SVR
---Starting: $64,950                                / $79,950       / $111,350

---Base Torque: 332 ft-lbs @ 2000 RPM / 461 @ 2500 / 502 @ 2500
Unfortunately this was not present at the show to my knowledge. There are some styling differences from the Range Rover.
Range Rover                          / HSE        / Supercharged
---Starting: $84,950                                / $91,950       / $103,195
---Base Power: 340 HP @  RPM             / 380              / 510
---Base Torque: 332 ft-lbs @ 3500 RPM / 332 @ 3500 / 461 @ 2500

This is the normal wheelbase version.

The Range Rover is also available in Long Wheelbase version. I believe the longest named Land Rover you can have is the "Land Rover Range Rover Long Wheelbase SVAutobiography". Though, if "Long Wheelbase" does not count, then the longest name is probably the "Land Rover Range Rover Sport Autobiography". Is this important to know? No. But I believe it is the longest model and trim pair of names currently in the automotive industry. (Also, fittingly discussed with a LWB vehicle.)

Tesla Motors

Model S 70             / 70D     / 90D    / P90D   / P90D Ludicrous
---Starting: $70,000           / $75,000 / $88,000 / $108,000 / $118,000
---Total Power: 315 HP      / 329        / 417        / 504          / 532
---Base Torque: 325 ft-lbs  / 387        / 485        / 713          / 713

I was not even going to try to get photographs of this car with everything closed and clean lines. This car was completely mobbed. Also, it should be noted I am using the HP figures for the battery limited peak HP output, not the theoretical max of the electric motors.
Model X 70D / 90D / P90D
---Starting: $
---Base Power:  HP @  RPM
---Base Torque:  ft-lbs @  RPM
None were on display at this auto show. So no photos of falcon doors. Considering which power output and drive configurations are available I would likely assume that the power and torque figures will be similar to the Model S.

Toyota Motor Corporation

Throughout this post I have been listing the brand with the cheapest car first. But in this case, while Toyota does have a cheaper car in the Yaris, I would have to say Scion is very much the bottom brand on the totem pole.
Furthermore, Toyota has announced that Scion will soon be going away. Some models will be rolled into Toyota and other models we have no idea about. One thing that has me worried, as a fan of manual transmissions and options availability, is that Toyota will not maintain Scion's ability to option anything with a manual transmission in the available models. I say this because Toyota does not allow this currently in the Toyota product line but does in the Scion product line. (Scion is like Mazda for the Mazda3 on every option, it is really cool like that.)
Lastly, I will miss Scion. It kept a more or less front wheel drive Celica around after Toyota killed it. It gave us the funky xB and xD. In many ways I think Scion helped to keep the tuning and cosmetic modifying community alive and vibrant during periods of time when there were not many new foreign cars lending themselves to modification. I am not saying I am a fan of all the results, but the enthusiasm generated at shows like SEMA for the xB and tC were fantastic, let along the FR-S / BRZ twins more recently. So, hopefully, with Toyota rolling up and ending Scion as its own separate marque they will bring some of the fun back into their own product line.
One complaint though, Scion's site is supposed to be nice and fancy but works extremely poorly on FireFox as I write this up and has been terrible for a while now.
iA
---Starting: $16,495
---Base Power: 106 HP @ 6000 RPM
---Base Torque: 103 ft-lbs @ 4000 RPM

This was the first car I saw at the show and it struck me as looking very much like a Mazda Mazda3 clone. Well, as it turns out, the Scion iA is in fact a rebadged Mazda Mazda2 which explains the family resemblance.

xB
---Starting: $17,915
---Base Power: 158 HP @ 6000 RPM
---Base Torque: 162 ft-lbs @ 4000 RPM
I have not owned one or driven one. I have ridden in a first generation. The visibility was fantastic and the space was great for the small size of this car. I really like how funky these are and think what the tuning community has done with them is sometimes awesome and sometimes hilarious. I hope Toyota keeps these alive. Unfortunately my research indicates this model is likely being killed.
iM
---Starting: $19,255
---Base Power: 137 HP @ 6100 RPM
---Base Torque: 126 ft-lbs @ 4000 RPM

Once we get past the color the Scion iM is a Toyota Auris in the global market, or a 5-door Toyota Corolla, a hatchback. In other markets this is also sold in a "Touring" version which is more of a wagon / estate and has more rear cargo space.

As far as I can tell right now the iM is available with its full suite of option with a manual transmission under the Scion marque. I hope this will remain true when it moves to Toyota, as it is likely to continue under Toyota, as this would make it a nice alternative to, with possibly better rear visibility than, a Mazda3 5-door.

tC
---Starting: $20,180
---Base Power: 179 HP @ 6000 RPM
---Base Torque: 172 ft-lbs @ 4100 RPM

An ex of mine had a first generation. I drove one of these pretty regularly during undergrad for a year or so. It had the pursuit tire package back when they were doing that. It was fun, peppy, and the hatch on it made it fairly practical for packing things in and taking trips. All in all it was not a bad car at all. In many ways I prefer this over the Honda Civic Coupe (not the Si, but the regular Coupe). According to Toyota this one is being killed too, which may make sense in a post FR-S world, but I think it would be a fun one to keep around.

FR-S
---Starting: $26,100
---Base Power: 200 HP @ 7000 RPM
---Base Torque: 151 ft-lbs @ 6400 RPM

Right, I own a Subaru BRZ, which aside from some slight spring rating differences and different option availability (though a lot of the same options if you go through Scion's special editions catalog). If you want to read more about my experience with the FR-S then click here. If you want to read more about my experiences with the Subaru BRZ (which is more or less the same car) click here.

Toyota, at least in the USA, generally has a reputation for making on the whole boring cars. Good cars. Reliable car. Boring cars. This may change with bringing Scion into the Toyota fold, and would certainly be fixed if the FT-1 concept got brought into the product line or a new Supra. But now with its new design language Toyota is making boring cars with bold looks.
Yaris 3-Door
---Starting: $14,895
---Base Power: 106 HP @ 6000 RPM
---Base Torque: 103 ft-lbs @ 4200 RPM
Yaris 5-Door
---Starting: $15,995
---Base Power: 106 HP @ 6000 RPM
---Base Torque: 103 ft-lbs @ 4200 RPM

Aggressive looking front. Much tamer looking rear. It appears that despite how similar the power output of this to the Mazda2 derived Scion iA they are in fact using different engine blocks. The Scion iA using a Mazda Skyactiv engine while the Toyota Yaris uses a 7NR-FE engine, hence the difference of peak torque RPMs.

Corolla
---Starting: $17,300
---Base Power: 132 HP @ 6000 RPM
---Base Torque: 128 ft-lbs @ 4400 RPM

I reviewed a 2013 here, also during the writing of this post I had a 2015 as a rental and reviewed it. The first car I had to drive, more or less as my own, was a 1995 Toyota Corolla. That was peppy when upshifting and gutless when downshifting. I think these are the size of a mid 90s Camry.

Prius c
---Starting: $19,560
---Base Power: 73 HP @ 4800 RPM
---Total Power: 99 HP
---Base Torque: 82 ft-lbs @ 4000 RPM

I think this is very similar to the Scion iM only as a hybrid. It is one of the cheaper hybrids on the market. Also, note the blue at the base of the Toyota badge, this appears on all Toyota hybrids.

Camry 
---Starting: $23,070
---Base Power: 178 HP @ 6000 RPM
---Base Torque: 170 ft-lbs @ 4100 RPM

It appears that all Camry offerings are now with a inline four cylinder and no options for a V6. There are hybrid options though.

This does not really fit anywhere else, but is technically out of the Camry NASCAR.

While technical specifications are provided they do not include actual output numbers.

The pulleys look like enormous harmonic balancers for this engine.

Custom oil pan shows the welding. The front plate on this is huge, I have to assume it contributes to mounting the engine otherwise it is very awkwardly shaped.

Tacoma
---Starting: $23,300
---Base Power: 159 HP @ 5200 RPM
---Base Torque: 180 ft-lbs @ 3800 RPM

This is a Back to the Future edition of the Toyota Tacoma. That light bar up front and the lights on the grill are very bright and did interesting things to the color balance of the photo. Also, when not raised for the Back to the Future one off this is a very reasonable truck.
My former coworker had a 1996 Tacoma with a manual and it may have been slightly lowered but it was a lot like driving a Toyota Corolla of that era which was not bad at all. Also rear wheel drive (RWD) so could be fun to slide as well.

Prius
---Starting: $24,200
---Base Power: 95 HP @ 5200 RPM
---Total Power: 121 HP
---Base Torque: 105 ft-lbs @ 3600 RPM

I like the new styling of the Prius compared to the old styling of the Prius.

I arguably like the rear end better. The new Toyota commercial featuring the Prius is rather entertaining, though I do not know how much I like the introduction of the police car Prius.

The dash in these are still on the interesting side. I have yet to drive one, though I meant to rent one to try it, but that fell through.

RAV4
---Starting: $24,350
---Base Power: 176 HP @ 6000 RPM
---Base Torque: 172 ft-lbs @ 4100 RPM

I drove my house mate's third generation. It was not bad but I would not call it a driver's car. It did not handle terribly for a SUV.

Of course, calling this a "SUV" might be a misnomer. I have never seen real evidence of these being in any way off road capable.

Another interesting dashboard from Toyota. I am not going to buy one for its dash, but they do look more interesting than some of other ones out there.

Prius v
---Starting: $26,675
---Base Power: 98 HP @ 5200 RPM
---Total Power: 134 HP
---Base Torque: 105 ft-lbs @ 3600 RPM

Sienna
---Starting: $28,850
---Base Power: 266 HP @ 6200 RPM
---Base Torque: 245 ft-lbs @ 4700 RPM

I wonder how many different iterations of Toyota minivans I have been in during my life so far. I have been in various forms of the Van, Previa, and the Sienna in many of their configurations.
I have also driven one of these for a few hours on the highway of the newest generation. Pickup was acceptable but handling was not exactly super confidence inspiring. Almost all my passengers, 4 adults and 3 children to teens, were sleeping. I guess that speaks well for the car, or and it had all our luggage for a three day weekend, so yeah, it did the minivan thing well.

Tundra
---Starting: $29,950
---Base Power: 310 HP @ 5600 RPM
---Base Torque: 327 ft-lbs @ 3400 RPM

Another big truck! I worry about the blind spot issue with this. This was an odd color to see in person.

Highlander 
---Starting: $29,990
---Base Power: 185 HP @ 5800 RPM
---Base Torque: 184 ft-lbs @ 4200 RPM

There can be only however many Toyota produces and sells! (Okay, not as cool a premise as the movie by the same name.) Is this at all off road capable? I have no idea. I have only ever seen them in the wilds of suburbia, and occasionally lost in the jungle of the city.

Avalon
---Starting: $32,650
---Base Power: 268 HP @ 6200 RPM
---Base Torque: 248 ft-lbs @ 4700 RPM

This shares a platform with the Toyota Camry and a Lexus ES. In many ways it is the most Lexus Toyota you can buy.

Toyota also brought this done up Avalon.

If you look closely at this it has been lowered in ride height. Also if you look closely at the wheels you will see large gaps between wheels and the brakes. This is disappointing as Lexus does a much better job of filling its bigger wheels with larger brakes for better stopping power.

Four exhaust tips and rear diffuser because the Avalon is a race car!

4Runner
---Starting: $33,810
---Base Power: 270 HP @ 5600 RPM
---Base Torque: 278 ft-lbs @ 4400 RPM

Another funky color, raised, with chunky tires. Off road! Maybe? Please avoid running over my sports car...

Sequoia
---Starting: $44,965
---Base Power: 381 HP @ 5600 RPM
---Base Torque: 401 ft-lbs @ 3600 RPM
Do you have more money to spend at Toyota? They have a bigger SUV for you to spend it on. I am confused how this relates to the Land Cruiser as the Land Cruiser is a possible replacement, so I have no idea what is going on here, reading up on this vehicle leads to confusion.
Mirai
---Starting: $57,500
---Total Power: 151 HP
---Base Torque: 247 ft-lbs
Hydrogen fuel cell vehicle with a nice little introduction video on the Toyota website stating how this too was showing it to the automotive naysayers of the past.
Land Cruiser
---Starting: $83,825
---Base Power: 381 HP @ 5600 RPM
---Base Torque: 401 ft-lbs @ 3600 RPM

I had to check if my base price listed for this was correct, it is. Consider me sticker shocked for a Toyota. Apparently this is more or less the same vehicle as the Lexus LX which has a starting price of $88,880. So, I am just confused as to what the appeal is. I have to assume the Lexus is at least slightly better better equipped to justify the ~$5000 increase in price, not to mention badge snobbery bragging rights. But I guess I wonder who can afford this and chooses it over the Lexus?
On further review, using the Lexus compare tool on their site, the Land Cruiser has 14 speakers standard compared with 9 on the LX in their base configurations but the LX has a much better standard warranty package larger wheels as stock.

Lexus is Toyota's luxury arm. They have maintained a strong dedication to naturally aspirated engines in the sports versions of their cars despite a lot of auto makers going to turbocharged engines.
Lexus' website also had a peculiarity where some of the vehicles had their peak HP RPMs listed while others did not. I did not understand the rhyme or reason.
Lexus, like Mercedes, was in a low light section and my monopod was very important in me capturing these photos with better clarity than I did last year.
CT
---Starting: $31,250
---Total Power: 134 HP @  RPM
---Base Torque:  ft-lbs @  RPM

A nicer Prius or a nicer Corolla with hybrid technology, unclear. Looks pretty nice and the one I have been in had a nice interior and decent ride quality. Like the Toyota hybrids there is a blue background to the badge.

NX
---Starting: $34,965
---Base Power: 235 HP @  RPM
---Base Torque: 258 ft-lbs @ 1650 RPM

This is the Lexus equivalent of the RAV4. That is a big front grill, I kind of like it.

IS
---Starting: $37,325
---Base Power: 241 HP @  RPM
---Base Torque: 258 ft-lbs @ 2650 RPM

Gone are the days when a Lexus IS250 or IS300 could be optioned with a manual transmission.

ES
---Starting: $38,000
---Base Power: 268 HP @  RPM
---Base Torque: 248 ft-lbs @ 4700 RPM

This shares a platform with the Toyota Camry and Toyota Avalon.

RC
---Starting: $39,995
---Base Power: 241 HP @  RPM
---Base Torque: 258 ft-lbs @ 1650 RPM

This has taken over for the Lexus IS coupes of old. Those were available, at least in RWD form, with a manual transmission. This is no longer the case.

I do like the boomerang looking daytime running lights. Also, the taillight design seen here is shared among a lot of automakers currently, not sure who was the originator.

RX
---Starting: $41,900
---Base Power: 295 HP @  RPM
---Base Torque: 268 ft-lbs @ 4700 RPM

Shares a platform with the Toyota Highlander. Also has a massive front grill. I feel like it looks better on the NX, a bit smaller, here it looks too gaping for my like.

IS C
---Starting: $43,360
---Base Power: 204 HP @ 6400 RPM
---Base Torque: 185 ft-lbs @ 4800 RPM
I believe this is the only convertible available in the Toyota / Lexus line. I prefer it to the Lexus SC even when the top is up, though the top looks rather segmented. It was not present to my knowledge.
GS
---Starting: $45,615
---Base Power: 241 HP @  RPM
---Base Torque: 258 ft-lbs @ 1650 RPM
GX
---Starting: $50,780
---Base Power: 301 HP @  RPM
---Base Torque: 329 ft-lbs @ 3500 RPM

This thing is massive in person. I believe it shares a platform with the Toyota Sequoia. The rear door on this, to the trunk, was hinged on one side and swung to the side rather than up. Though, I could be mistaken and it could be the LX that opened like that.

RC F
---Starting: $62,805
---Base Power: 467 HP @ 7100 RPM
---Base Torque: 389 ft-lbs @ 4800 RPM

Lexus' only remaining purchase-able sports car.

Wish you could option it, or at least a Toyota version, with a manual transmission.

It has a nice stance compared to the normal RC. The tailpipe orientation is different. It is also interesting that this has more torque than the Lexus LFA.

LS
---Starting: $72,520
---Base Power: 386 HP @  RPM
---Base Torque: 367 ft-lbs @ 4100 RPM
Maybe I missed it at the show, that or it was not there.
GS F
---Starting: $84,440
---Base Power: 467 HP @  RPM
---Base Torque: 389 ft-lbs @ 4800 RPM

The hottest Lexus sedan available, from a performance perspective.

Above I expressed my dislike for the larger wheels but small breaks on the Toyota Avalon that was modified. This has large rear brakes that do a much better job stopping and filling out the larger wheels. Clearly Lexus knows what it is doing, Toyota seemingly less so.

LX
---Starting: $88,880
---Base Power: 383 HP @ 5600 RPM
---Base Torque: 403 ft-lbs @ 3600 RPM

This made the GX seem not so big. This shares a platform with the Toyota Land Cruiser. Read my notes on the Land Cruiser to understand the oddities in the pricing and seeming differences between the two.

LFA 
---Starting: $
---Base Power: 552 HP @ 8700 RPM
---Base Torque: 354 ft-lbs @ 7800 RPM
It would have been nice to see this car again, it is gorgeous. One of the fun factoids about this car is that it had to use a digital tachometer because the engine revved up and down too fast for the mechanical ones to keep up. Also, the sound is wonderful. High revving naturally aspirated V10. 

Volkswagen Group

The VW website was supremely frustrating to get this information. First, the MSRP listed is not necessarily the MSRP listed on the models page because there are some order only models that are often higher, but sometimes lower, in price. Second, to get to technical specifications, you seem to need to pick a model, pick a trim (which may bungee you back to the top of the page), go to details, and then to technical. The fancier the website, for automakers in my experience, the more of a process it is to extract rather basic car information.
Not related to the show or the website, along a route I frequent there is a large group of VW cars from the local VW dealership. I imagine they are all diesel models that the VW dealership can no longer sell due to the recent scandal. I wonder how VW's sales are doing in general.
Jetta
---Starting: $17,680
---Base Power: 150 HP @ 5000 RPM
---Base Torque: 184 ft-lbs @ 1400 RPM

Had an extended test drive of a 2013 and reviewed it. Also test drove a 2014 Jetta Sportswagen TDI and reviewed it.

Golf 2-Door
---Starting: $18,495
---Base Power: 170 HP @ 4500 RPM
---Base Torque: 184 ft-lbs @ 4500 RPM
Beetle
---Starting: $19,795
---Base Power: 170 HP @ 4800 RPM
---Base Torque: 184 ft-lbs @ 1500 RPM
Golf 4-Door
---Starting: $20,175
---Base Power: 170 HP @ 4500 RPM
---Base Torque: 184 ft-lbs @ 4500 RPM
Golf SportWagen
---Starting: $21,625
---Base Power: 170 HP @ 4500 RPM
---Base Torque: 184 ft-lbs @ 1600 RPM

Passat
---Starting: $22,440
---Base Power: 170 HP @ 4800 RPM
---Base Torque: 184 ft-lbs @ 1500 RPM

Tones of white, grey, and silver so far. So VW has not been the most colorful car manufacturer display thus far.

Tiguan
---Starting: $24,890
---Base Power: 200 HP @ 5100 RPM
---Base Torque: 207 ft-lbs @ 1700 RPM

Golf GTI 2-Door
---Starting: $24,995
---Base Power: 210 HP @ 4500 RPM
---Base Torque: 258 ft-lbs @ 1500 RPM
Beetle Convertible
---Starting: $25,490
---Base Power: 170 HP @ 4800 RPM
---Base Torque: 184 ft-lbs @ 1500 RPM
Golf GTI 4-Door
---Starting: $25,595
---Base Power: 210 HP @ 4500 RPM
---Base Torque: 258 ft-lbs @ 1500 RPM

This, the Ford Fiesta ST and Focus ST, appear to be the only current 5-door hatch back fun offerings in the US. I feel like this is a segment that needs more contenders for enthusiasts who want a mix of fun and practical. Subaru needs a 5-door WRX again.

I do not like the look of the seats on this, I think it would be better in plaid. Also, golf ball shift knob is present and accounted for.

Beetle R-Line
---Starting: $26,995
---Base Power: 210 HP @ 5300 RPM
---Base Torque: 207 ft-lbs @ 1700 RPM

Okay, so this is perhaps a bit more aggressive and race worthy than what you get from a normal Beetle R-Line. This is Tanner Faust's Beetle (or replica thereof) for the Global Rally Cross.

Jetta GLI
---Starting: $26,920
---Base Power: 210 HP @ 5300 RPM
---Base Torque: 207 ft-lbs @ 1700 RPM
CC
---Starting: $31,570
---Base Power: 200 HP @ 5100 RPM
---Base Torque: 207 ft-lbs @ 1700 RPM

Eos
---Starting: $31,995
---Base Power: 200 HP @ 5100 RPM
---Base Torque: 207 ft-lbs @ 1700 RPM
Golf R
---Starting: $35,650
---Base Power: 292 HP @ 5500 RPM
---Base Torque: 280 ft-lbs @ 1800 RPM
According to VW's US site these are now available with a manual transmission. This is interesting as I recall these being offered with a dual clutch with paddle shifting. So, maybe this is something I may need to look into more as a 5-door option.
Touareg
---Starting: $42,705
---Base Power: 280 HP @ 6200 RPM
---Base Torque: 266 ft-lbs @ 2500 RPM

Audi's website was not half as difficult or as obnoxious as the VW one. Also, I have very lukewarm feelings and experiences with VWs but I have really enjoyed some of the Audis I have driven and I have been in. This does not make any sense to me considering how closely related the two are.
As for my wife's experience at the auto show, she sometimes likes to ask manufacturers what models they have available with a manual as we both drive manual transmission exclusively. The Audi representative told her no Audis were offered with a manual. This confused me, as I was pretty sure the S4 and S5 could be purchased with a manual. Sure enough a check on Audi's website indicated this was true. Is it not wonderful when company representatives do not know their own products?
A3 Sedan
---Starting: $30,900
---Base Power: 170 HP @ 4500 RPM
---Base Torque: 200 ft-lbs @ 1600 RPM 
Q3
---Starting: $33,700
---Base Power: 200 HP @ 5100 RPM
---Base Torque: 207 ft-lbs @ 1700 RPM

Fancier VW Tiguan.

A3 Cabriolet
---Starting: $36,600
---Base Power: 170 HP @ 4500 RPM
---Base Torque: 200 ft-lbs @ 1600 RPM
A4
---Starting: $37,300
---Base Power: 252 HP @ 5000 RPM
---Base Torque: 273 ft-lbs @ 1600 RPM

I have driven the A4 B6, B7, and the B8. My Great Aunt likes Audi A4s and has had a few of them. I like the B7 the best as to me it feels a bit lighter, the visibility seems a bit better, and I think the automatic transmission with paddle shifting best out of the three automatic transmissions they were all equipped with. I cannot give a good explanation as to why I like these over the VW Passat and Jetta, but I would certainly consider owning one of these or an Audi S4 as a 5 seat sedan.

A3 Sportback e-tron
---Starting: $37,900
---Base Power: 150 HP @  RPM
---Total Power: 204 HP
---Base Torque:  ft-lbs @  RPM
---Electric Motor Torque: 243 ft-lbs

Shares a platform with the VW Golf. On a family vacation in the UK we had a A3 diesel hatchback. Only my dad got to drive (weird age based HP gating rules on rentals). It seemed to handle the A and B roads well enough though. Was not the greatest place for 5 adults though, at least not in the rear seats. I wish the non-hybrid version was available in the US with a manual transmission.

A5
---Starting: $40,500
---Base Power: 220 HP @ 4450 RPM
---Base Torque: 258 ft-lbs @ 1500 RPM
Q5
---Starting: $40,900
---Base Power: 220 HP @ 4450 RPM
---Base Torque: 258 ft-lbs @ 1500 RPM

Shares a platform with the Porsche Macan. Does not seem to have a VW platform share.

S3
---Starting: $42,500
---Base Power: 292 HP @ 5400 RPM
---Base Torque: 280 ft-lbs @ 1900 RPM

For some reason the S4 and S5 are available with a manual transmission in the US but the S3 is not. Based on the power figures I guess this is what a VW Golf R sedan would be in Audi clothing.

allroad
---Starting: $42,700
---Base Power: 220 HP @ 4450 RPM
---Base Torque: 258 ft-lbs @ 1500 RPM

In the US this is just listed as the "allroad" in other markets this might be listed as the A4 allroad quatro or the A4 Avant. There are also A6 variants, but not in the US.

TT Coupe
---Starting: $42,900
---Base Power: 220 HP @ 4500 RPM
---Base Torque: 258 ft-lbs @ 1600 RPM
Surprisingly, at least to me, as a small sports coupe that it is not available with a manual transmission in the USA. 
A6
---Starting: $46,200
---Base Power: 252 HP @ 5000 RPM
---Base Torque: 273 ft-lbs @ 1600 RPM
TT Roadster
---Starting: $46,400
---Base Power: 220 HP @ 4500 RPM
---Base Torque: 258 ft-lbs @ 1600 RPM
A5 Cabriolet
---Starting: $47,900
---Base Power: 220 HP @ 4450 RPM
---Base Torque: 258 ft-lbs @ 1500 RPM
S4
---Starting: $49,200
---Base Power: 333 HP @ 5500 RPM
---Base Torque: 325 ft-lbs @ 2900 RPM
One of the only Audi vehicles available with a manual transmission.
TTS
---Starting: $51,900
---Base Power: 292 HP @ 5400 RPM
---Base Torque: 280 ft-lbs @ 1900 RPM

Even sportier version of the small Audi sports coupe. Similar power figures to a VW Golf R. No manual transmission option.

S5
---Starting: $53,100
---Base Power: 333 HP @ 5500 RPM
---Base Torque: 325 ft-lbs @ 2900 RPM
One of the two Audi vehicles available in the USA with a manual transmission.
SQ5
---Starting: $53,300
---Base Power: 354 HP @ 6000 RPM
---Base Torque: 346 ft-lbs @ 4000 RPM
Q7
---Starting: $54,800
---Base Power: 333 HP @ 5500 RPM
---Base Torque: 325 ft-lbs @ 2900 RPM

I feel that both Audi and BMW do not quite have a SUV as large as the largest offering by Mercedes-Benz.

S5 Cabriolet
---Starting: $61,100
---Base Power: 333 HP @ 5500 RPM
---Base Torque: 325 ft-lbs @ 2900 RPM

Only available with the dual-clutch transmission unlike the S5 which has a manual transmission option.

A7
---Starting: $68,300
---Base Power: 333 HP @ 5300 RPM
---Base Torque: 325 ft-lbs @ 2900 RPM

Large coupe looking sedan. I feel Audi pulls the look off better than Mercedes-Benz.

S6
---Starting: $70,900
---Base Power: 450 HP @ 5800 RPM
---Base Torque: 406 ft-lbs @ 1400 RPM

A8 L
---Starting: $81,500
---Base Power: 333 HP @ 5300 RPM
---Base Torque: 325 ft-lbs @ 2900 RPM

I am still a big fan of this headlight design.

S7
---Starting: $82,900
---Base Power: 450 HP @ 5500 RPM
---Base Torque: 406 ft-lbs @ 1400 RPM
RS 7
---Starting: $108,900
---Base Power: 560 HP @ 5700 RPM
---Base Torque: 516 ft-lbs @ 1750 RPM
In non-US markets one has the option of purchasing the RS 3, RS 6, RS 7, and RS Q3. In the US you only have the option of purchasing the RS 7. This is a shame as the RS 3 is supposed to be a ton of fun.
S8 Plus
---Starting: $114,900
---Base Power: 605 HP @ 6100 RPM
---Base Torque: 517 ft-lbs @ 1750 RPM
R8 Spyder (2015 specifications)
---Starting: $129,400
---Base Power: 430 HP @ 7900 RPM [V8] (525 @ 8000 V10)
---Base Torque: 317 ft-lbs @ 4500 RPM [V8] (391 @6500 V10)
Apparently the newest generation of R8 Spyder had not been released yet, so on the US Audi site you can still purchase the old version of the R8 Spyder.
A8 L W12
---Starting: $137,900
---Base Power: 500 HP @ 6200 RPM
---Base Torque: 463 ft-lbs @ 4750 RPM
R8
---Starting: $162,900
---Base Power: 540 HP @ 7800 RPM
---Base Torque: 398 ft-lbs @ 6500 RPM
Was not shown at this auto show. Philly got no R8 love.
R8 (V10 Plus)
---Starting: $189,900
---Base Power: 610 HP @ 8250 RPM
---Base Torque: 413 ft-lbs @ 6500 RPM
The Audi R8 version of the Lamborghini Huracán.

Porsche's website is hit and miss for power and torque information; sometimes it is readily available, at other times it is not available at all.
Porsche apparently likes to list everything as a model. Instead of having a car model with slight variations (which is what most other manufacturers do) and saving different model designations only for significant differences Porsche prefers to give each little difference a new model designation. Models instead of trims I guess. This makes the following list enormous. Manual transmission availability varies across each model.
Cayman
---Starting: $52,600
---Base Power: 275 HP @ 7400 RPM
---Base Torque: 213 ft-lbs @  RPM
Macan S
---Starting: $54,400
---Base Power: 340 HP @ 5500 RPM
---Base Torque: 339 ft-lbs @ 1450 RPM
718 Boxster
---Starting: $56,000
---Base Power: 300 HP @ 6500 RPM
---Base Torque: 280 ft-lbs @  RPM
Cayenne
---Starting: $58,300
---Base Power: 300 HP @ 6300 RPM
---Base Torque: 295 ft-lbs @ 3000 RPM
Cayman Black Edition
---Starting: $59,200
---Base Power: 275 HP @ 7400 RPM
---Base Torque:  ft-lbs @  RPM
Cayman S
---Starting: $64,100
---Base Power: 325 HP @ 7400 RPM
---Base Torque: 273 ft-lbs @  RPM
Macan GTS
---Starting: $67,200
---Base Power: 360 HP @ 6000 RPM
---Base Torque: 369 ft-lbs @  RPM
718 Boxster S
---Starting: $68,400
---Base Power: 350 HP @ 6500 RPM
---Base Torque: 309 ft-lbs @  RPM
Cayenne S
---Starting: $74,800
---Base Power: 420 HP @ 6000 RPM
---Base Torque: 406 ft-lbs @ 1350 RPM
Cayman GTS
---Starting: $75,200
---Base Power: 340 HP @ 7400 RPM
---Base Torque: 280 ft-lbs @ 4750 RPM
Macan Turbo
---Starting: $76,000
---Base Power: 400 HP @ 6000 RPM
---Base Torque: 406 ft-lbs @ 1350 RPM

Between the Porsche SUVs I like the look of the Macan better. It is related to the Audi Q5. That wheel gap though looks a bit ridiculous in these pictures.

Cayenne S E-Hybrid
---Starting: $77,200
---Base Power: 333 HP @ 5500 RPM
---Total Power: 416 HP @ 5500 RPM
---Base Torque: 325 ft-lbs @ 3000 RPM
---Total Torque: 435 ft-lbs @ 1250 RPM

The bigger Porsche SUV.

Panamera
---Starting: $78,100
---Base Power: 310 HP @ 6200 RPM
---Base Torque: 295 ft-lbs @ 3750 RPM
Panamera Edition
---Starting: $80,000
---Base Power: 310 HP @ 6200 RPM
---Base Torque: 295 ft-lbs @ 3750 RPM
Boxster Spyder 
---Starting: $82,100
---Base Power: 375 HP @  RPM
---Base Torque: 309 ft-lbs @  RPM 

Porsche brought this to the Philly auto show instead of any of the 718 models. Also, this model is not listed in the all models on Porsche's website which is strange considering just how many models are listed. Luckily I took a picture of the information placard for this car so I was able to get base MSRP and power figures for it, as Porsche is not providing this information on the standard US website.

Panamera 4
---Starting: $82,800
---Base Power: 310 HP @ 6200 RPM
---Base Torque: 295 ft-lbs @ 3750 RPM
Panamera 4 Edition
---Starting: $84,300
---Base Power: 310 HP @ 6200 RPM
---Base Torque: 295 ft-lbs @ 3750 RPM

How this is not simply a different trim of the Panamera 4 instead of being listed as a separate model is beyond me. I do not like the appearance of this vehicle and it all has to do with the squashed looking back end. If they had instead extended the roof line so it was much more like a wagon in appearance I would like the appearance a lot more.

Cayman GT4
---Starting: $84,600
---Base Power: 385 HP @ 7400 RPM
---Base Torque: 310 ft-lbs @ 4750 RPM

I love the look of this car and that it only comes with a manual transmission.

From the online reviews, automotive articles, and the feedback I get from a friend who bought one this, more so than any other Porsche, is the one I would like to own.

911 Targa 4S
---Starting: $122,600
---Base Power: 420 HP @ 6500 RPM
---Base Torque:  ft-lbs @  RPM

Porsche listed the torque for this car as "TBA" or "TBD" but I assume it will be 368 ft-lbs like the 911 Carrera 4S.

Panamera 4S Executive
---Starting: $125,600
---Base Power: 420 HP @ 6000 RPM

911 GT3 RS 
---Starting: $175,900
---Base Power: 500 HP @ 8250 RPM
---Base Torque: 339 ft-lbs @  RPM

Similar to the Ferraris shown earlier the color on this did not come out well.

I do not think the 911s look as good as the Caymans.

Panamera Turbo S
---Starting: $180,300
---Base Power: 570 HP @ 6000 RPM
---Base Torque: 553 ft-lbs @ 2250 RPM
911 R
---Starting: $184,900
---Base Power: 500 HP @ 8250 RPM
---Base Torque:  ft-lbs @  RPM
This one sounds like an interesting model. It benchmarks the Porsche 911 GT3 RS and should likely share its 339 ft-lbs of torque. It supposedly will only be available with a manual transmission and will not quite have the aero of the GT3 RS, but it looks like great fun.

Porsche, unlike McLaren, Ferrari, and Lexus lists the price for its top flight car on its website.

919 Hybrid LMP

Porsche brought a shell of the 919 car from LeMans.

The 24 Hours of LeMans is an absolutely fantastic endurance race to watch.

The LMP cars are some of the most technologically advanced cars on the face of the planet.

I am looking forward to watching the race this year.

Bentley did not have its own separate display at this auto show. Bentley did not list any pricing information on their website, so all the placement of models here is slightly arbitrary. Also, from web searches it appears the Bentley Continental GT V8 costs a little less than an entry level Lamborghini Huracán and I am therefore listing Bentley first.
Continental GT V8 / Continental GT V8 Convertible

Lamborghini did not provide any pricing information either, so listing of models is rather arbitrary. Also, each model has a drop top version, a regular version, and often a hot version; then there are numerous special editions listed. The Lamborghini naming scheme is rather simple: body name, HP in CV units as a number, dash, number of wheels driven.
Lamborghini did not have its own separate display at this atuo show.

Volvo Group (Aktiebolaget Volvo)

Volvo has some interesting things about it as a car maker. They have publicly stated that it is their intention to improve the safety of their vehicles such that in 2020 and forward no one will die while riding in or driving a new Volvo. Volvo has also designed a new vehicle platform which only allows for usage of 4-cylinder engines. Most Volvo vehicles now are available with a 4-cylinder turbo, 4-cylinder that is turbocharged and supercharged, and a 4-cylinder that is turbocharged and supercharged with a hybrid system. Now if only I could get a manual transmission Volvo in the USA.

Various Automakers

At some auto shows, particularly when all the high end and exotic manufacturers do not have their own displays they just lump all the cars together in one display, often sponsored by some company or another, or sometimes by a dealership. It makes photographing or viewing all angles of the cars difficult. Granted, I understand not wanting people to touch or harm the cars. One day I should ask about getting access to the paddock so I can photograph all the cars. This year I was in a rush to get all the manufacturer displays so I just snagged a few shots of the paddock. I am not labeling these.

It was interesting that Maserati had both its own display and cars in the paddock, as usually the paddocks only include cars that do not have manufacturer displays.

NOS Energy Drink Presents

There was an interesting display at the auto show. Many bigger than stock wheels and a lot of modification. I did not photograph everything as I was short on time to capture the manufacturer displays. Some cars were perhaps primarily modified only aesthetically, many others had extensive engine and other modifications. The section down stairs at the convention center was rather poorly lit, so please forgive the image quality. Tasteful or crazy, you decide.
Acura RLX

BMW i8

Fisker Karma

Fisker Karma cars are gorgeous.

This one has LEDs that change color all over the place, and modified wheels.

This one was stock as far as I could tell. Still very pretty.

Ford F-350

Lowered, seemingly covered in rose gold leafing. Also numerous spikes for lug nuts.

Honda Civic

I have always rather liked this iteration of Civic. Great big turbo.

Honda S2000

Very purple. There were other S2000 cars there that were there, but I liked this one the most. Wide body kit, big aero, large single turbo and very nice engine bay dress up.

Mazda RX-7 (FD)

Looked very well done. Very clean engine bay, no more rat's nest of vacuum hoses.

Big single turbo setup. No more pop up headlights. A very shiny cooling plate.

Nissan GT-R (R35)

Because Lambo doors...

Nissan Skyline GTR V Spec II (R34)

Very nice example of a rather rare Nissan Skyline. Right hand drive of course. Would be fun to own and drive.

The only modifications I could tell it had was likely lowered, maybe a lip kit, wheels, and the engine bay had some sort of lighting because there was light visible from the hood vent.

Motorcycle

I do not know bikes well enough to tell you what this started life as. It is either custom built or heavily modified.

Non-Manufacturer Display

ETV Space Car

Definitely looks like a spaceship.

Also looks weird.

Really weird.

Explorer (Conversion) Vans

Conversion vans used to be all the rage. Then minivans, while likely being safer and more fuel efficient, started including TVs and so on. My guess is high-top conversions became less interesting as the entertainment devices became smaller and easier to integrate. These also probably suffered due to SUVs becoming more passenger oriented.
Ford GT (2006)

The newest Ford GT did not make it to this show, but many of its predecessors did.

These images do not show it, but these had very weird doors that took a slice of roof with them when opened making the car an absolute nightmate to get in and out of if you had other cars parked next to you. This was exacerbated by the fact the doors were long.

Still a very cool car, I would love to drive one at some point.

Ford GT40 Mk.II

From 1966 - 1969 Ford GT40s dominated the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

Ford shocked the world in 1966 by taking a 1-2-3 finish at Le Mans with this car.

True or not, the rumor is that Ford was in negotiations to buy Ferrari and had the deal rejected by Enzo himself. Ford then went on the warpath to beat Ferrari at racing, it took a lot of development but in the end they got their win, and that 1-2-3 win.

Ford GT40 Mk. IV

The Ford GT40 Mk. IV won at the 12 Hours of Sebring and 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1967.

The curve on the rear end indicates a more streamlined version for higher top speed.

I am not sure if I like the Mk.II or Mk. IV better.

Ford Mustang GT Florida State Highway Patrol Vehicle

Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VII (2 Fast 2 Furious)

Apparently this was one of the exterior replica hero cars to survive 2 Fast 2 Furious.

It was very bright and green with the blue stripe. That entire movie franchise is a guilty pleasure of mine.

Spyker C8 Spyder

Gorgeous car, weird windshield design, but gorgeous car.

WS EX

200 HP. 340 ft-lbs.

Up to 110 MPG apparently. I wonder if they use the VW emission system (read the board) from their engine or if they use their own system in light of recent developments.

E

Conclusions...
This post took me roughly 5 weeks to prepare. I am going to have to strongly reconsider doing this again, but I kind of want to for the interior views of the vehicles.
