The 2018 Chicago Auto Show

Another month, another auto show. This time, it’s the largest one in the nation - The Chicago Auto Show! We’re just coming hot off of the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, so what can we expect from “The Windy City”?

Hopes High? Or Left Dry?

From top left: 2019 Ranger, Toyota TRD Pro models, VW Arteon,
and the new Ford Expedition. Honestly, Arteon sounds like a Pokemon
name to me, even though the car is cool. I wouldn't mind an Expedition either.

Well, not a ton else new will be new in Chicago... If you’re a fan of trucks and SUVs, rejoice! You’ll be seeing A LOT of those (again) throughout the Chicago Auto Show. If you recall, the 2019 Ford Ranger, Ram 1500, and Chevy Silverado debuted in Detroit. Toyota has rolled out some more aggressive editions of its TRD Pro 4Runner, Tundra, and Tacoma models in Chicago. Some autonomous driving tech as well will likely appear in places.

VW is showcasing the Artron, the CC’s replacement. It has a liftback design, similar to the new 2018 Buick Regal and Kia Stinger sedans. Ford showed off a refreshed Transit Connect coming for 2019 with updated tech, a new diesel engine and a 8-speed transmission. And Nissan is showing off the 370Zki, which based on their teaser video, may as well be a full-fledged snowmobile... Check the link for that. Honestly, an all-new 370Z or Frontier truck would be FAR more interesting.

Beyond that, it’s pretty ho hum for MAJOR reveals. Personally, I wouldn’t mind checking out a new Ford Expedition. I like it’s styling and interior design, especially it’s rear passenger space and new cargo shelf system.

So here’s to more trucks and crossovers! Do share your own excitement and curiosity about upcoming cars as well.
