Acura. Bugatti. Cadillac. Ford. Honda. Lamborghini. Toyota. Those are just some of the names represented at this year's New York International Auto Show (NYIAS), held in Manhattan, New York City. The show, which was more than four floors, was filled with all the latest new cars and trucks, from classics to debuts. There were over 1,000 vehicles, some of which have never been seen anywhere in the world. Not only were cars on display, but there were fun, interactive activities for the whole family to enjoy. Some of the vehicles that were featured included: Mazda 3 - This small car is available as a five-door hatchback or a four-door sedan. It has a sportier look and the interior includes comfortable seats that have been redesigned and a thin steering wheel. J aguar XE - This luxury car has been newly refreshed and is available in a rear-wheel drive option or all-wheel drive. Despite being a four-door model, the sporty design isn't compromised. It offers Apple CarPlay and Andriod Auto options. Subaru Outback - These SUVs are still made with four-cylinder engines and you can get one with a turbocharger. The Outback includes the ADAS (advanced driver assistance systems) in its new cars including adaptive cruise control and lane keeping. It includes a driver monitoring system, which uses infrared cameras and gaze tracking to detect if the person behind the wheel is distracted or drowsy. Audi Q3 - New York was the US debut for Audi's new Q3. It is a big upgrade from the old model, includes wireless CarPlay and Android Auto, a roomy cabin, and rear sliding and reclining seats. Porsche Speedster - Last year was Porsche's 70th birthday and they created a new Speedster. This sports car includes a windscreen and side panels cut lower than normal. It is a little bit lighter than other sports cars and offers better performance. It is only available in a six-speed manual and only suitable for driving in good weather. Rivian R1T - This truck is not actually on the market as it is a startup vehicle. It is an electric truck with a power tailgate and a secondary panel that flattens to cover the gap if you need a longer bed. Instead of the engine taking up the front, there is a "frunk" for cargo that won't get wet. There is also more cargo space behind the cab as well as a gear tunnel that can be used as seats or steps. Other than cars and trucks on display, the NYIAS offered a variety of interactive displays including: Toyota Concept i Virtual Reality experience Honda Dream Machine Chevrolet Tech Studio Dodge Challenger racing challenge Hyundai Xbox One Forza Motorsport 7 racing challenge Camp Jeep ride-and-drive And Much More Hands-on Activities and Special Exhibits Included: Chevrolet LEGO Silverado build station Ford LEGO build your own race car driver figure Exotic Vehicles including Bugatti, Lamborghini, Koenigsegg, and more.

Another Labor Day weekend has come and gone, and for car lovers in the Tri-State Area, that means one thing: the Historic Festival at Lime Rock Park! Every year, the Historic Festival at Lime Rock Park is the place for car lovers to show off their classic rides and see other vintage vehicles. Whether you go there to race, to show off your vehicle at the Concours d’Elegance, or simply to see some fantastic cars in action, you’re sure to have a great time! We’re proud to report that this year’s Historic Festival, the 37th annual one, was just as good as in previous years. Besides the usual offerings – three days of vintage car racing, a Concours d’Elegance and Gathering of the Marques, and plenty of concessions and shopping to enjoy – this year also brought some new attractions to the event. Event organizers held a special tribute to the Formula Ford, which, if you know your racing history, you’ll recognize as the vehicle that helped many Formula 1 and Indy Car drivers start their engines (and their careers). This year’s Saturday Night Dinner and a Panel celebrated the Formula Ford’s 50th anniversary. There was also a special celebration of the Morgan, and this year’s honored guest was Luigi Chinetti Junior. We know we had a grand time at this year’s Historic Festival at Lime Rock Park, and we hope you did, too! We can’t think of a better way to close out the summer. Check out their Facebook albums to relive the memories and connect with other fans. End of Summer Thoughts Now that another Labor Day weekend is behind us, it’s time to look ahead to fall and winter. For many classic car lovers, this means putting their beloved vehicles into storage. After all, you don’t want your classic ride facing the salt and snow of a Northeastern winter! At CT Car Storage, we’re happy to help. We offer top-tier climate-controlled car storage to drivers throughout the Tri-State Area, including Madison, CT; Guilford, CT; Bedford, NY; Brewster, NY; Weston, CT; Pound Ridge, NY; New York, NY; Orange, CT; Darien, CT; Westchester County, NY; Fairfield, CT; Greenwich, CT; Milford, CT; New Canaan, CT; Woodbridge, CT; Danbury, CT; Norwalk, CT; Stamford, CT; Westport, CT; and Ridgefield, CT.

On July 18th, Chevrolet revealed the eighth generation of Corvettes to the world. The car world has been buzzing about it ever since. We’ve rounded up some need-to-know facts about this newest addition to the Corvette family tree. To learn more, keep reading! What’s New: • The Engine: The new Corvette is the first in the series to be mid-engined, putting it in the same company as the Alfa Romeo 4C Spider and Ford GT. And there have been plenty of other upgrades made along the way. • The Transmission: For the first time since 1955, the new Corvette will be automatic-only. While it will be possible to manually control the 8-speed dual-clutch transmission, the actual shift changes won’t be mechanical. It’s all computers from here on out. • The Suspension: After seven generations with leaf springs, the C8 has upgraded to a coil-spring suspension. • The Styling: Moving the engine from under the hood to behind the front seat means that the style of the Corvette will have to change. But don’t worry, there will still be plenty of classic Corvette touches, like the peaked front fenders and the nose’s center spear. What You Need to Know: • Availability: The vehicle will be going into production later this year, and it should be available for sale soon after production starts. • Price: Pricing details haven’t been released yet, but the vehicle should start under $60,000 for the basic package. More bells and whistles will mean a higher price. • 0 to 60: It’s tough to say for certain, since the vehicle isn’t available yet, but Chevrolet claims that the vehicle could get up to 60 in 3.0 seconds (with the Z51 performance package). Want to Welcome One Home? If you’d love to add the 2020 Corvette to your collection but find that you’re running out of room in the garage, let your friends at CT Car Storage help.
