New York auto show to highlight power, efficiency

  The previews ahead of the New York International Auto Show have been an interesting   mix of high power and electrification. On one hand, we have a new   Cadillac CTS with a twin-turbo engine, and a Range Rover Sport likely to   have 500-plus horsepower. On the other, we will be seeing a new   electric vehicle from Mercedes-Benz based on its B-class along with a   hybrid SUV from Infiniti. Of course, these days, even high-horsepower   engines can boast fuel economy far better than anything we have seen   before, so efficiency wins all around. CNET will be covering the new   releases from the New York auto show on Wednesday and Thursday of next   week, so tune in to our full show coverage. Trouble viewing this email? Read it online.
