New York motor show 2010 - Introduction

New York might be the Big Apple – but its motor show is pretty compact.

Compared with the mayhem of the Geneva or Frankfurt shows, the pace in NY is less frantic, but there are some world debuts to catch-up on.

There's a high-performance Cadillac CTS-V Sport Wagon, the new Kia Magentis – only it won't be called the Magentis when it arrives in the UK early next year, a face-lifted and improved Mercedes R-Class and some aggressive Subaru Imprezas.

We've got the lowdown from the show on all of these cars as well as videos and an interview with Peter Schreyer, design boss of Kia.
