If you’re the kind of dude who’s just not into the whole brevity thing — as in 2.3 seconds from zero-to-60-mph brief — then you might not have found the ravenously anticipated debut of the 800-plus-horsepower 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon to be the highlight of the show. But for unveiling participant Vin Diesel and the rest of the rare-porterhouse-eating world, it was a moment to throw our devil horns up and let better demons prevail.

This year’s show is unsurprisingly heavy on luxury, SUVs and performance models — in the best cases, all three at once, like the 2018 Mercedes-AMG GLC63. Other debuts of particular note include, but are hardly limited to, the 2018 Toyota Sienna minivan, 2018 Subaru Crosstrek SUV and Outback SUV-wannabe wagon, 2018 Audi RS 3 and Lexus LS 500 F Sport high-performance sedans, 2018 Volvo XC60 SUV, 2018 Acura TLX luxury sedan, and 2018 Kia Rio sedan and hatchback, in addition to can’t-miss concepts like the Infiniti QX80 Monograph, Toyota FT-4X and Subaru Ascent SUVs.
