They're pulling the plug on the New York Auto Show.

The show, which is typically held in April and draws over 1 million attendants, was delayed until August due to the COVID-19 pandemic. But organizers are now saying they won't be able to meet that deadline and are focused on reviving the auto show in spring 2021.

The Javits Center, which houses the auto show, is still being used as a field hospital

The Javits Center, which houses the auto show, is still being used as a field hospital for patients with COVID-19. Currently there are no patients being treated there, though the convention remains in "standby mode" in case of future emergency. …

Every year, The Verge scours the floor of the New York Auto Show looking for design trends to spotlight. One year it was gear shifts. The next, grilles. This year we decided to take a closer look at rims, those overlooked yet remarkably important component to a vehicle's overall appearance.

You know how they say wearing the right glasses can change the way people see your face? The same can be said for a stylish set of rims. This is why so many auto enthusiasts spend more time fussing over their rims than they do any other feature. The wheels are the defining characteristic of your car. Without them, your tires would look naked and alone.

Genesis is not a well-known brand in the US - only around 100 dealers feature the automaker's cars on their lots - but the company is making it a habit to release its flashiest concepts at stateside auto shows. Last year, it was the Genesis Essentia, an all-electric coupe with a retro-futuristic glass bubble roof. This year it's the Mint concept, an electric city car with (you guessed it) a minty fresh paint job.

It's a "city car" meant to squeeze through the narrow alleys and dense traffic of packed urban centers. The two-seat, two-door vehicle has a shortened sedan-shaped body, but without a traditional trunk. In its place, there's a "par …

]]> Andrew J. Hawkins <![CDATA[The grilles (both real and faux) of the 2018 New York Auto Show]]> https://www.theverge.com/2018/4/1/17180102/car-grille-photos-ny-auto-show-2018 2018-04-01T15:00:01-04:00 2018-04-01T15:00:01-04:00

Whether a jagged maw of grinning shark teeth, or a perpetually surprised oval, the automobile grille serves a very important function: it allows air to flow in, cooling the radiator and generally keeping the engine from overheating and going kaput. It serves a more psychological function as well, playing an important role in attracting buyers. After all, who wouldn't want to get behind the wheel of a car that looks like it could chew them up and spit them out?

The grille also could be an endangered species. Cars without dirty internal combustion engines, like battery-electric and fuel cell vehicles, don't necessarily need a grille. But auto …

The New York Auto Show of 2018 has begun and we’re on the ground to see what the car industry has to offer. So far: plenty of electrified SUVs like the Lincoln Aviator and VW Cross Sport Concept, and luxurious self-drivers like Waymo’s Jaguar I-Pace. We’ve collected all the biggest announcements and best car photos from the event right here.

The New York International Auto Show opens to the public this weekend, and upon entering the Javits Center attendees will be bombarded with new cars, SUVs, trucks and even a handful of supercars that will most likely be out their price range. Here's our primer for anyone who wants to cut through the noise and see the stuff that really matters.

Most Futurama-ready car: Genesis Essentia

Anyone who grew up on dog-eared copies of Popular Science probably assumed we'd be riding around in self-driving cars while viewing the passing scenery through glass or plastic bubble roofs. The self-driving car part is playing out right now, but the glass or p …

The new Jaguar I-Pace is quick from a stop. It's quiet as a mouse. The ride is comfortable throughout, from the cushy seat, to the air suspension, to the smooth, low resistance in the wheel. The I-Pace is also shorter than you probably think it is; up close, it looks like an SUV that's been (carefully) stepped on.

Other than that, there's not much more I can tell you about what the I-Pace is really like, since I only had about one minute to drive it.

That drive took place on the eve of the New York International Auto Show in a parking lot behind Jaguar Land Rover's new Mahwah, New Jersey headquarters. The stark, sharp building is surrounde …

2019 Cadillac XT4

Finally, Cadillac has an SUV to rival popular small luxury rivals such as the BMW X1 and Land Rover Range Rover Evoque. Based on the fact that SUVs are about the only Cadillacs anyone is buying these days, the 2019 XT4 should help get more foot traffic in showrooms. There's just one thing: you can't get the XT4 with Cadillac's excellent Super Cruise driver assistance system.

Super Cruise debuted last year on the flagship CT6 and we found it set Cadillac apart from every other brand marketing a semi-autonomous driving system. It uses cameras, sensors, and mapping data to allow drivers to take their hands off the wheel for a time, but has an …

Mazda Kai Concept | The Verge / Amelia Holowaty Krales

Mazda's process of teasing its interesting and striking future continued at the 2018 New York Auto Show where they showed the Kai Concept. Already revealed last fall in Tokyo, the Kai has even more significance. First, it's likely a preview of the next Mazda 3 hatchback due next year, and second, that car holds Mazda's gamble that the internal combustion engine can be cleaned up to satisfy ever-stringent global emissions standards.

We got a turn in a prototype equipped with the SkyActiv-X engine in January, the company's bet that it can make gasoline engines that are as efficient as diesels without the emissions problems that have given the …

Anyone who grew up on dog-eared copies of Popular Science probably assumed we'd be riding around in self-driving cars while viewing the passing scenery through glass or plastic bubble roofs. The self-driving car part is playing out right now, but the glass or plastic bubble part seems to have been left in the recycling bin. Now, here's the Genesis Essentia, an all-electric performance concept with a transparent hood and a fully retro-futuristic bubble roof.

The Essentia, which made its global debut at the New York International Auto Show Wednesday, is stunning and sexy. And it has all the fanciful hallmarks of a concept befitting the luxury …
