The 10 Best Cars of the 2013 NY Auto Show

2014 Mercedes Benz CLA45 AMG

Don’t mistake Mercedes next-gen stunner for a scaled-down version of the CLS63 AMG. Lower price tag aside, the 2014 CLA45 AMG bears premium facets including a four-cylinder that cranks 355hp, front sports seats, and even carbon fiber packages that can be integrated anywhere from the interior to the front splitter. Performance-wise, it can reach 0-60 mph in 4.5 seconds and top 155mph.

2014 Dodge Durango

The seven-passenger hauler comes equipped with a 3.6-liter V-6 capable of revving up 290hp and 260 pound-feet of torque, along with the option of upgrading to a 5.7-liter Hemi V8 that pumps out 360hp and 390-pound-feet of torque. It’s also been redesigned, now rocking a front end with projector-beam headlamps and LED daytime lamps. And on top off the customizations, 18- and 20-inch options are available for every trim level.
