Transplants Peel Big Apple - Japanese, Korean auto makers dominate vehicle unveilings at NY expo

摘要

THE FINALE OF THE U.S. AUTO-SHOW circuit, the New York expo featured the strongest showing this year from the Japanese and Korean auto makers. While nearly absent of major news in Detroit and Chicago, Toyota Motor Corp., Honda Motor Co Ltd., Nissan Motor Co. Ltd., Hyundai Motor Co. Ltd., Kia Motors Corp., Mazda Motor Corp., Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd. (Subaru) and Mitsubishi Motors Corp. all made headlines in the Big Apple. Toyota showed off two models, including the next-generation Scion tC. Fully redesigned for the first time since its 2004 debut, the new tC, due in fall, gets a more powerful 2.5L 4-cyl. making 180 hp, up 19 hp over the outgoing model.
