Highlights from the Chicago Auto Show

February 11, 2013 By Kif Richmann

Chicago Auto Show

The Chicago Auto Show is off and running, and there are quite a few features catching the years of auto enthusiast and journalists in the Windy City.

Whether it’s a superhero inspired vehicle or a back-to-basics muscle car, there is something for everyone at the show.

Here are a few of our favorite features:

Superman Kia Optima Hybrid Two impressive Kias: Kia is showing off two display cars. One is a Superman inspired Kia Optima Hybrid. It has all the styling of Superman’s uniform, including the S logo. The rear window also has a detailed Superman image. The other Kia on display is the Cross GT concept, a sleek-looking luxury SUV that could be a hit at the design future of Kia models.
SRT Challenger SRT Core cars: SRT (Street & Racing Technology) is the performance wing of Chrysler. A Dodge Challenger and a Chrysler 300 were all created to give drivers an open canvass for customization and personalization. Both cars have incredible power, without interior excess and external flamboyance. Owners can decorate and tweak at their own discretion.
diesel-powered-Chevrolet-Cruze_620x350 Domesticating diesel: Chevy is looking to make diesel sedans a viable option for American drivers with the Chevy Cruze Turbo Diesel. About half the European market drives diesels, but Americans have been reluctant to adopt the technology. Chevrolet will need to bust some American myths to make this one work.

The Chicago Auto Show will go on for another week, and we’ll keep you informed on all the latest from the Windy City.
