Photos: High-tech cars shine at NY auto show

A variety of new models and model updates are on display at the 2008 New York International Auto Show, from a sporty new coupe by Hyundai to a clean diesel Mercedes-Benz SUV and lots of cars with integrated high-tech systems like Ford's new Transit Connect Taxi. The event is open to the public through Sunday, 30 March.

Hyundai is quickly following the introduction of its Genesis Coupe concept from the 2007 Los Angeles auto show with this production-ready version, based on its new Genesis platform. The Coupe will launch as a 2010 model next year with two engine choices, a 212-brake horsepower intercooled turbocharged four-cylinder and a 306-brake horsepower 3.8-litre V-6.
