There’s something about auto shows that get me really excited for what’s happening in the automotive industry. On my recent trip to the 2017 New York Auto Show, I got to experience first hand some of the newest vehicles being launched, as well as some concept vehicles we can only hope will be produced in the near future.

With a huge inventory of vehicles all available to see at the New York Auto Show, these were my favorites.

“Who you gonna call? GHOSTBUSTERS!”

Ok, so maybe that’s not what you were thinking, but the new Limited Edition Sublime color on the 1500 Ram reminds me of Slimer from Ghostbusters and I feel they should have named it after him.
