Volkswagen Arteon

The Volkswagen Arteon is the replacement for their old four-door coupe, the CC. The Arteon made its US debut in Chicago with sharp styling, a turbocharged engine and available all-wheel drive.

The new Arteon is five inches longer in the wheelbase than the CC, which means there is much more room inside under the sleek roofline. The 2.0-liter turbo four makes 268 horsepower and 258 lb-ft, which means that this car goes as good as it looks.

Lego 1968 Ford Mustang

It’s the smallest car on the list, for sure. And it’s the only one you have to build yourself, but it might be the coolest. Ford and Lego introduced the Lego 1968 Ford Mustang race car in Chicago.

It comes with a vintage racing suit-wearing minifig, stickers to customize the appearance of the car, and a track-side timing board. It’s the only car from the show that you can park in your desk drawer.

Unlike some of the other Lego licensed cars, this is a small kit and so it gets a small price tag. Under $20.

Dodge Durango SRT

Dodge calls the Durango SRT the most powerful and fastest three-row SUV. It has a 6.4-liter V8 that makes 475 horsepower and lets it run the quarter mile in under 13 seconds.

Now Fiat Chrysler’s Mopar division is helping make the SRT and R/T more special. They showed a Durango SRT with a new high-performance exhaust system and carbon fiber interior trim with a premium wrapped dash. Lowering springs improve the look and handling.

To really show off, there is a new Mopar stripe kit that wraps around the extractor hood vents.
