On The Cover Review: BMW Concept 4-Series Coupe

Editor's Note: Welcome to our annual look at the concept vehicles that were revealed to the world at the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit. Part of determining used vehicle values is predicting the future. With that in mind, it makes sense to look at what the manufacturers believe the future will bring us. Whether it’s new ways to power vehicles or new ways to package them, there are lots of great ideas on the horizon. This is the last in a series of The Automobile Red Book’s annual review of some of the best concepts from COBO Hall.

Get ready, BMW fans, this one is going into production. And probably the thing that created the most buzz about the BMW Concept 4-Series Coupe is the name. Gone is the ever-popular “3-Series” nomenclature. The 3 has been replaced by a 4. BMW thinks that makes it more exclusive. Perhaps. Whatever you want to call it, it is a pretty sharp-looking car. That’s about all we know about it, though. Powertrain information wasn’t revealed in Detroit, although we can probably assume it will follow along with what the current 3-Series lineup is at this point. It’ll probably even be better, because if it isn’t, what the heck’s the point? For now, just take a look at the picture.

On The Cover Review: Lincoln MKC Concept

Editor's Note: Welcome to our annual look at the concept vehicles that were revealed to the world at the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit. Part of determining used vehicle values is predicting the future. With that in mind, it makes sense to look at what the manufacturers believe the future will bring us. Whether it’s new ways to power vehicles or new ways to package them, there are lots of great ideas on the horizon. This is the sixth in a series of The Automobile Red Book’s annual review of some of the best concepts from COBO Hall.

Lincoln wants to be considered a relevant, thriving luxury car maker. But let’s be honest, every single vehicle in their lineup is a tarted-up Ford. The MKZ is based on the Fusion. The MKX draws from the Edge. The MKS is based on the Taurus. The MKT is pretty similar to the Flex. And of course, the Navigator is just a chromed-up Expedition. At the NAIAS, Lincoln came up with an all-new concept—the MKC SUV. And this one is based on (you may already be ahead of us here) the Ford Escape. But this Escape is slated to compete against the likes of the Acura RDX and Cadillac SRX. Don’t get us wrong; Lincolns are nicer than Fords. Despite their obvious similarities, they can do an awful lot with chrome trim, leather, and wood accents to justify Lincoln’s premium price point. And this MKC definitely has a more upscale appearance than the Escape. This situation isn’t all bad, though. Ford is putting out some awfully nice stuff these days, so these Lincolns are anything but bargain basement. If you can look at Lincoln without that Ford association, you’ll realize they’re every bit as good as the purport to be.

The Clymer Powersport Vehicle Blue Book® has more than 20 years of motorcycle, ATV, personal watercraft, snowmobile, and trailer specifications and values. It also includes VIN identifiers, displacement, dimensions, weight and factory SRP.

On The Cover Review: Honda Urban SUV Concept

Editor's Note: Welcome to our annual look at the concept vehicles that were revealed to the world at the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit. Part of determining used vehicle values is predicting the future. With that in mind, it makes sense to look at what the manufacturers believe the future will bring us. Whether it’s new ways to power vehicles or new ways to package them, there are lots of great ideas on the horizon. This is the fifth in a series of The Automobile Red Book’s annual review of some of the best concepts from COBO Hall.

Goldilocks would love the Honda Urban SUV Concept. Because while she may think the popular CR-V is too big, and the compact Fit is too small, she’ll think the Urban SUV is just right. Over the years, the CR-V has grown in size to the point where it almost isn’t a compact anymore. That’s why Honda believes the Urban SUV will be popular. For the most part, there is nothing particularly outstanding about the Urban SUV concept—it’s just a Honda SUV that’s smaller than a CR-V. So you aren’t going to find hydrogen power or fingerprint scanners or any of that other futuristic nonsense. In fact, this is just barely a concept. Picture it with more normal wheels, lights, and door handles, and you’re looking at a rig that will be for sale in the near future.

On The Cover Review: Hyundai HDC-14 Genesis Concept

This is the fourth in a series of The Automobile Red Book’s annual review of some of the best concepts from COBO Hall.

Don’t let the crazy concept car lighting and trim fool you. This big, square shoebox with the low, round top likely gives you an idea of what the next generation rear-wheel-drive Genesis sedan will look like. But more importantly, it gives you an idea of the gadgets and technology that the Korean automaker is working on these days. For example, it can track the movement of your eyeball to run things like the navigation and infotainment systems. Futuristic suspension and multi-mode power steering attempt to artificially connect you to the road without feeling artificial. But a 450-hp V8 under the hood keeps this ride decidedly old school. In years’ past, you might not expect concept muscle cars to be in the Hyundai display, but here it is all the same.

On The Cover Review: Ford Atlas Concept

This is the third in a series of The Automobile Red Book’s annual review of some of the best concepts from COBO Hall.

The NAIAS was supposed to be important as an early appearance of the 2014 Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra, but Ford surprised everyone by revealing their F-150 Atlas F-150 Concept truck. The silvery concept looked pretty rugged with its beefy grille and cobalt blue lighting. They introduced it by dropping it from the ceiling while a live band played in the background and guys welded steel girders in a shower of sparks. Big cheese execs Bill Ford and Alan Mulally were there to give it the proper credentials. This was exactly the kind of presentation that makes the Detroit show great. It also foreshadows the next generation of the F-150; the number-one selling vehicle in America. Expect more EcoBoost engine choices, lighter weight, better aerodynamics, and higher fuel mileage.

On The Cover Review: Toyota Corolla Furia Concept

Toyota is attempting to spice up the blandest car on the road with the introduction of the Corolla Furia Concept. That’s right—Furia; as in “furious.” You should see the headlights. It’s angry. Of course, this is just a concept, so there was no interior, and it had those huge concept car-style wheels, fancy paint, and other styling cues that will never see production. Still, at least they’re addressing the milquetoastness of the current Corolla with this car, and admitting there is a problem is the first step. Still, lots of people seem to be happy buying the current Corolla, so Toyota has to be careful not to make something with too much personality, lest they drive off their current loyal customers. It will be interesting to see where this car winds up once the makeup comes off.
