Dallas Auto Show glitters like gold - Dallas Morning News
Dallas has long been known as a city sweet on luxury cars, and its fascination with six- and even seven-figure vehicles is reflected in the high-end area of the Dallas Auto Show, which opens Wednesday. This year, the high-end display — probably the only one of its kind — will feature such million-dollar star cars as the Aston Martin One-77 and Pagani Huayra, as well as a McLaren 650S, Bentley GT Speed convertible, Rolls-Royce Wraith and others. “The New York show doesn’t do it, Chicago doesn’t and Detroit doesn’t either,” said Lee Chapman, president of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metropolitan New Car Dealers Association. Ultra-luxury cars aren’t the only vehicles at the show, of course. Among them are the all-new 2016 Nissan Titan pickup, the 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor, 2016 Mustang GT 350, 2016 Cadillac ATS-V Coupe and 2016 Buick Cascada convertible. Also on display will be the all-new 2015 Lexus RC-F, the 2015 Lincoln MKC crossover, 2015 Ram Laramie Limited with its controversial new grille and tailgate and the all-new 2015 Porsche Macan crossover. With margins shrinking on many mainstream vehicles, one ultra-luxury cruiser can earn as much profit as 10 regular vehicles, and they don’t need incentives or advertising. Source: www.dallasnews.com
