The 10 Best Cars of the 2013 NY Auto Show

2014 Cadillac CTS

GM reengineered its luxury vehicle from the ground up, lacing it with an all-new LED-light tube face, V-shaped rear, and three engine options: 321 hp 3.6-liter V6, 272-hp 2.0-liter four-cylinder, and twin-turbo V6 engine. The rear-wheel-drive model tackles 8-speed automatic transmissions, where as the rest of the lineup gets improved six-speeds. Cabin-wise, the CTS flaunts touch-sensitive controls, LCD instrument cluster, and CUR infotainment system.

2014 Jaguar XKR-S GT

The luxury carmaker stunts again with the track-tuned XKR-S GT. Powered by a 5.0-liter supercharged V-8 engine, the two-door coupe can produce 550hp and 502 pound-feet of torque, with the ability to peak at 186mph and shoot at 60mph in 3.9 seconds. Jaguar added to the car’s track-like abilities by granting it a “wider front track, revised brushing, and a faster steering ratio.”
