CES showed us the future of automotive tech. Detroit showed us some very exciting coupes, concepts and luxury cars. The headliners at Geneva were some of the fastest, most expensive and best-looking cars ever built. Next up on the 2016 circuit is the New York International Auto show, and though there wasn’t anything jaw-dropping, per se, the news this week should appeal to most drivers: these are the more practical cars we can expect to see on the road in the very near future (read: not $2.6 million Bugattis). Not that the show is boring at all — there’s a new Camaro, a refreshed GT-R and a drop-top Audi R8 on the floor. Bottom line: anyone planning to buy a new car in 2016 and 2017 should take note of all the new releases this week.

What’s better than a coupe version of the Miata? A version with an automatically retractable Targa hardtop, just like in the Porsche 911 Targa and the Ferrari 458 Spider.

Forget about the absurd gullwing doors and you’ll find that the concept previews some pretty big changes for the forthcoming Navigator redo: a 400 horsepower 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine, a brand-new chassis and Lincoln’s new and improved design language.
