YouTube Video RkxFQVRQOTVOTTdpRVJFWEJnRF94VFFRLjExMUJEODI4OTNBOEEwQzc After nearly two decades covering the New York International Auto Show, something feels different this year — not louder, not flashier… just smarter.

In this 2026 New York Auto Show Round-Up, I take you behind the hype and into what actually matters on the show floor. From the all-new Subaru Getaway EV that finally feels like a real Subaru, to the Forester Hybrid Wilderness that reflects what Americans are actually buying, this year’s show is about practicality over promises.

Hyundai makes a bold move into America’s truck territory with the Boulder Concept, and Honda quietly reveals what might be one of the most important vehicles at the entire show — the Fastport eQuad.

After 19 years hosting coverage with WPIX and working alongside Nexstar’s 252 stations across the country, I’ve seen the industry evolve through every phase. This year isn’t about chasing the future.

It’s about finally building it properly.

If you're shopping for a car, watching industry trends, or just love what’s next in automotive — this is the show you need to understand.

I’m Nik Miles… and yes, I still love my job.
