After the annual supercar festival that was the Geneva Motor Show, the New York International Auto Show is a much more laid-back affair with a focus on cars that will one day find their way to your local showroom.

This year, the big story is crossover SUVs. And they are here en masse, in every color, size, and price point imaginable. It makes perfect sense because crossovers are the hottest segment of the market.
