New York<\/em>\u00a0\u2014 America’s longest-running auto show opens in the Big Apple this week for its 126th year with something on the menu for all tastes.<\/p>\n While America\u2019s Big Three auto shows in Detroit, Los Angeles and New York showcase similar displays as the show circus crosses the country, each has a unique feel as they lean into their region\u2019s strengths. If the Detroit event showcases Detroit automakers and LA electric vehicles, then the New York International Auto Show brings Gotham\u2019s \u201cCapitol of the World\u201d swagger with foreign model world premieres and million-dollar exotics in the Javits Center Convention Center surrounded by skyscrapers.<\/p>\n \u201cWe didn’t think the 126th had the same ring about it, so we didn’t go with that, even though it’s still incredible,\u201d said show President Mark Schienberg when asked how he planned to follow last year\u2019s NYIAS-palooza that celebrated its 125th<\/sup>\u00a0anniversary.<\/p>\n \u201cWe’ve been rebuilding after COVID, and this year we’re seeing much more commitment from manufacturers,\u201d he continued. New car reveals are \u201cthe strongest we’ve had in quite some time, with 10 press conferences.\u201d<\/p>\n Whereas Detroit has ditched its North American International Show moniker for the more humble Detroit Auto Show, the Greater New York Auto Dealers Association still embraces the \u201cInternational\u201d in NYIAS. The Big Three Show personalities are telegraphed by the awards that open media week.<\/p>\n
