Gallery: 10 Outstanding Rides 2017 Has Already Given the World
FF01FF-91-Exterior-101.jpg
Eager to prove it's serious about this whole building cars thing, flashy startup Faraday Future showed up in Vegas with the FF91, its first production car. It's still vaporware until proven real, but it's got some sweet features that would be great to have on the road.
Kia02Kia-Stinger.jpg
Get ready for the cool Kia. The newly introduced Stinger is a sporty sedan with room for five and some serious style.
VW03VW-ID-Buzz-concept.jpg
Ever since the whole dirty diesel thing happened, Volkswagen's been focusing on its electric efforts. Or at least, its marketing team has. But whoever came up with the ID Buzz concept, a battery-powered microbus for the 21st century, deserves a promotion.
Ford04Ford-F-150.jpg
The latest iteration of Ford's perennially best-selling F-150 combines the manly image with some more coddling features. Because if you're hauling bricks or whatever, why not enjoy a Wifi hotspot, lane keep assist, and a 10-speed transmission to boost your fuel economy while you're at it?
Audi05Audi-Q8-Concept.jpg
Americans simply can't buy enough SUVs, and Audi's latest bid to cash in is the Q8 concept, a preview of its next luxury kid-carrier. The plug-in hybrid combines an 18-kWh battery with a 3-liter engine, good for more than 400 horsepower.
Honda06Honda-motorcycle.jpg
Never let it be said Honda ignores the n00bs. Take the self-stabilizing motorcycle it unveiled at CES, which uses an electronic steer-by-wire system to stay upright at very low speeds, where novice riders are most likely to drop their brand new bikes.
Toyota07Toyota-Concept-I.jpg
If you're playing word association, you don't really expect "Toyota" to follow things like "fun," "exciting," or "wow." The Japanese automaker wants to change that with the Concept-i, a conceptual ride that can drive itself, or let you take control and have a blast.
Infiniti08Infiniti-QX50-concept.jpg
Infiniti's QX50 concept is a vision of a much closer future. Previewing the production version of the car, this SUV makes extra room for passengers and will run on Infiniti's innovative variable compression ratio engine.
Waymo09waymo-minivan-4.jpg
Waymo, Google's self-driving car outfit, showed up in Detroit with the autonomous Pacifica minivan it built in collaboration with Chrysler. Expect to see a fleet of 100 Pacificas hitting public roads later this year.
Chrysler10Chrysler-Portal-Concept.jpg
Chrysler may not be the company you expect to rethink the way millenials traverse the planet, but the automaker proved otherwise at CES. It showed off the Portal concept, a swanky minivan packed with things like facial recognition, streaming music and video, and more USB chargers than you could ever imagine using.
