Hi, this is me, Dave, the guy in the
0:01
picture, looking grumpy, getting out of
0:03
the very comfortable ProMaster City to
0:05
greet you at this overview of the 2026
0:08
show.
0:09
>> This is what it looks like new. And then
0:11
that's what it looks like after 25 years
0:14
with the started here with Chrysler, but
0:17
let's go on back and see what it looks
0:19
like when you actually go to get into
0:21
the show for the first time on media
0:23
day. Uh, we go by Ford has a very large
0:27
display as every year. uh facing Nissan
0:30
on the other side. One thing that you
0:32
see more of on media day than on public
0:34
days, of course, is reporters being
0:37
filmed or just walking around getting
0:40
impressions. Uh here's a lot of the Ford
0:43
area. So, they really went all out. They
0:46
brought a lot of special vehicles. They
0:48
have a Ford store which is pretty
0:50
impressive and which really GM and
0:52
Stalantis ought to be copying to sell
0:54
merchandise even on media days which is
0:57
pretty cool actually uh because of the
1:00
rules at Javitz. I don't know if they
1:02
can open up on public days but I'm
1:04
guessing they do.
1:07
So we'll look through Nissan. They've
1:09
been bolstering their lineup as well.
1:11
And then there is GM has a very large
1:13
space in the back. Not as big as Fords,
1:15
I think. probably roughly the size of
1:17
Splantus and they brought a car from
1:20
their past. A very impressive car that
1:23
set a new trend,
1:26
although there's nothing like it now.
1:28
Here's a quick look at the Dodge area
1:30
looking at the Chargers and Durango,
1:33
which is pretty much all the Dodge, and
1:35
then into the back of a ProMaster City.
1:38
That is one beautiful uh Dodge Coupe
1:41
over there. It's got the six-pack
1:43
engine.
1:45
Very comfortable. Uh very similar inside
1:47
to the EV. Really
1:50
just a really nice car to feature with
1:52
that paint job. Uh here's a Ram chassis
1:55
cab. The interior is much improved over
1:59
past years. It's still highly
2:00
functional, but it just looks cleaner
2:03
and easier to use. Again, ProMaster City
2:07
and Ram 5500 quite comfortable inside,
2:10
surprisingly. So, uh, quite a park ride
2:13
from the old trucks. So, this is the Ram
2:15
area. Taking you on a slightly closer
2:18
look at the heavyduty model. It's really
2:21
designed to be upfit. And then we go
2:23
from there into a Chrysler Pacifica. Got
2:26
to love those white seats, although I'm
2:28
not entirely sure how they do with kids.
2:31
And you see the interior is pretty much
2:32
unchanged from past years, and that's a
2:35
good thing because they got all those
2:36
great physical buttons. Downstairs
2:39
there's a display of customized cars,
2:43
low riders and such. These are
2:46
presumably brought in by various clubs.
2:50
>> And there's the EV test track in the
2:52
distance. Atlantis is not doing the EV
2:54
test track this year. And there's a
2:57
display from a movie that just came out.
2:59
Now, a personal emergency took us from
3:02
the show before we had a chance to film
3:04
the uh New York Police's collection of
3:07
vintage cars from their museum, which
3:09
would have been a really nice thing to
3:11
see. This is the 2027 minivan being
3:15
backed up into place after being
3:17
presented to the crowd.
3:20
And then we're back to the basement
3:21
again uh to look at classic and modified
3:25
import cars. Now, we came in by ferry,
3:28
which is a pretty good deal. However you
3:29
come in, you probably should make time
3:31
in your schedule for the New York Auto
3:33
Show this year. It's a good show. The
3:35
manufacturers are back. You can see the
3:37
cars that people are just talking or
3:39
writing about. And I hope that you'll
3:41
go. It's at the Javit Center in New York
3:43
City. If you want tickets, go to auto
3:46
show New York, uh, sorry, auto
