If 2008 was the year that rocked Detroit, 2019 will be when Motor City gives its annual car extravaganza a revamp that aims to move with the times. A major change is that this week's North American International Auto Show will be the last to be held in January, after which the event will switch to June. The new date, organisers said, will allow exhibitors to move vehicles and activities outside the Cobo Center's halls and into other city venues, unencumbered by cold January weather, exemplified this week by snow and ice. In a market in which trends can easily be outpaced beyond one event, the need to do so was probably exacerbated by the decision of Germany's big three carmakers – BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Audi – to skip the auto show this year. The show has long allowed car enthusiasts to sit behind the wheel of the latest models at the start of the calendar year but a more fluid car market in an online world has made sales less seasonal. Similarly, everyday technology seems to be catching up on those whose job it is to get behind microphones and try and tempt the visiting public into making a purchase. Although sparkly announcers clasp iPads and outline the technical gadgetry hidden beneath bonnets, people's obsession with their own smartphones often appeared to offer a more tempting distraction. 'It's maddening,' said one such worker at Nissan's stand. The absence of some pizzazz, as well as top marques, was also noted by patrons. 'It looks like there are a few less cars this year,' one annual attendee said of this year's exhibitors. 'I can't help but think it's easier to stay at home than to brave the snow and come here.'

Autoblog brings you car news; expert reviews and exciting pictures and video. Research and compare vehicles, too. Hyundai's Biggest SUV is Finally Electrified Hyundai unveiled the 2026 Palisade earlier this year at the New York Auto Show, bringing the next-generation version of its flagship SUV to the US with bold new styling, more space, a dramatically improved interior, and, finally, a hybrid powertrain. While it stays rooted in gas-powered practicality for now, the addition of a turbo-hybrid option makes the Palisade more efficient than ever, with over 600 miles of range and a significant performance boost. And now, we know how much all of that will cost. 2025 Audi S3 VS 2025 Mercedes-AMG CLA 35: Which one comes out on top? Watch More Hyundai has officially released pricing for the full 2026 Palisade lineup, and despite the host of changes, the base price has only gone up by about $1,700 over the outgoing model. Even fully loaded trims stay competitive, offering features rivaling premium SUVs at a fraction of the price. 2026 Hyundai Palisade Pricing Breakdown Here's a quick look at how the 2026 Palisade stacks up, price-wise. The pure combustion engine versions start at $38,935 for the base SE FWD and peak at $49,370 for the first-ever XRT PRO trim. All prices exclude the $1,495 destination charge. For reference, the 2025 Palisade currently starts at $37,200. Pure ICE (3.5L V6) Trim FWD AWD SE $38,935 $40,935 SEL $41,440 $43,440 SEL Convenience $42,870 $44,870 SEL Premium $44,800 $46,800 Limited $49,270 $51,270 Calligraphy $54,060 $56,060 XRT PRO – $49,370 As expected, the electrified Palisade gets a more premium pricing, starting with the Blue SEL FWD trim at $43,660, while the top-spec, luxurious Calligraphy AWD sells for a hefty $58,280. Hybrid (2.5L Turbo HEV) Trim FWD AWD Blue SEL $43,660 $45,660 Blue SEL Premium $47,020 $49,020 Limited $51,490 $53,490 Calligraphy $56,280 $58,280 Autoblog Newsletter Autoblog brings you car news; expert reviews and exciting pictures and video.

More Capable, More Refined, More Efficient The 2026 Palisade arrives at US dealerships this month, with the hybrid models going on sale this fall. Built in Ulsan, South Korea, the new-generation Palisade packs more of everything: space, tech, and capability. The new hybrid variant pairs a turbocharged 2.5-liter engine with dual electric motors for 329 horsepower, 339 lb-ft of torque, and an estimated 30 mpg highway – all while sacrificing only 1,000 lbs of towing capacity compared to the gas model. Meanwhile, the new XRT PRO trim gives the Palisade legitimate off-road cred with all-terrain tires, a lifted suspension, and drive modes for mud, sand, and snow. Inside, all trims benefit from more noise insulation, twin 12.3-inch displays, USB-C charging in all rows, and upgraded materials throughout. Optional relaxation seats even include deployable leg rests for front and second-row passengers. Simply put, the 2026 Palisade builds on everything people liked about the old one – and fixes what they didn't. About the Author Jacob Oliva View Profile

Annual Lake Bluff History Auto Show shows off classic cars in the village's downtown Saturday
On Saturday, June 21, the picturesque streets of downtown Lake Bluff were transformed into a classic car show from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. The Lake Bluff History Museum Auto Show has been held in downtown Lake Bluff for over 10 years, this year showcasing over 150 classic cars. 'The Auto Show is a program that allows us to promote the history of our village, a way to celebrate and show off the beauty of our town,' Kathleen O'Hara, president of the Lake Bluff History Museum, said. Show Chair, Mark Dewart, said the first auto show featured a 1930s ice truck acquired by the Museum as a way to raise funds for its restoration, and since then has grown into an annual summer event. The show features vintage and antique cars from the early 1900s to the 1980s, Corvettes, Mustangs, Cobras and Birds, Packards, Woodies, Jaguars, Rolls, GTOs, Chevys, Buicks, hot rods, Lincolns, and more. Dewart says this car show, unlike a typical car show, is not held in a parking lot. 'Our historic downtown provides a lovely setting, walkable and family friendly, with food, beverages, and shopping, all within easy reach, making it a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere,' Dewart said. The event is free, and there is no charge to register a car, with free parking available at the Lake Bluff Train Station. 'Our focus with the Auto Show is to have fun while building community, and the success of the event really rests on the efforts of our museum board and volunteers,' Dewart said. According to Dewart, the Lake Bluff History Museum has developed quite a network of area participants over the years — car collectors and enthusiasts along with a handful of people affiliated with the museum. Elliot Rubin of Northbrook participated in Saturday's Auto Show and says he has been driving his Cadillac Eldorado Convertible since 1973. 'Driving was different then, I was just a kid, but the car is still a big part of my life,' Rubin said. John Schwaiger of Palatine showed his 1968 Jaguar E-Type on Saturday and says there is a certain status to owning a classic car. 'It's rewarding to me when others appreciate the car and care that goes into keeping it looking beautiful,' Schwaiger said. Dewart says, people come to the car show because they may be attracted to the car designs, the people watching, or even the lifestyles that the automobiles promote. 'In the end, the Lake Bluff History Museum Auto Show is really about community spirit,' Dewart said.

These are the alternative options to obtain a REAL ID outside the DMV
With Americans scrambling to obtain a REAL ID ahead of the required deadline, some states are getting creative in their appointment offerings. The REAL ID requirement will take effect on May 7, when Americans must have a new form of identification in order to fly domestically.

Daniel Velez, a spokesperson for TSA New England, told Fox News Digital that '81% of travelers at TSA checkpoints already have a REAL ID or another approved ID.' He added, 'As the deadline approaches, state DMVs are making efforts to accommodate individuals seeking to obtain a REAL ID, and we fully expect the number of passengers getting REAL IDs to steadily increase.' The state of New York is offering an unusual way for people to obtain the new form of identification at mobile vans.
