The Chicago Auto Show is just days away, but to our surprise, there has been very little information released about what cars will be making their long-awaited debuts. So far, we’ve learned that the 2018 Subaru Legacy will be making appearance along with the 2018 Hyundai Elantra GT, and the Nissan NV Cargo X Project van. Outside of that, the best information we have is that Acura, Chevy, Chrysler, Dodge, Ford, Mitsubishi, Toyota, and Volkswagen are all expected to introduce global vehicles, but outside of this, other new debuts are a complete mystery.
But, even with all of that mystery surrounding this year’s show, there is some interesting things to think about. First off, the total show area has been increased by a total of 100,000 square foot, with Porsche set to double its floor space in comparison to last year. Some of that extra 100,000 square feet will be dedicated to two new test tracks – one by Ram and one by Mercedes-Benz – that will bring the total number of tracks up from three to five. That’s a pretty big deal, and I can tell you from experience that these test tracks are a big deal. Even during the media preview days the tracks were running non-stop from open to close, and it’s definitely not something you want to miss out on.
But, with all of the mystery surrounding what new cars we’ll see at the show, we thought it would be a good idea to talk about what we know is coming, and what just might make an appearance. What do you think will show up in Chicago this year?
