A look at the hottest vehicles unveiled in New York, all of them to be or soon to be produced -- PHOTOS BY RENATO ZACCHIA

ACURA RLX

CONCEPT VEHICLE
Vehicle type: 4-door sedan
Base engines: 310-hp V-6 or 370-hp V-6 hybrid
What's cool: The base model is expected to come with four-wheel steering system. Optional Sports Handling All Wheel Drive system splits torque between rear wheels for extra cornering grip. Wheelbase grows by 2 inches, but overall length stays the same as the existing RL's. Connectivity features include a touch screen interface for e-mail, text messaging and contacts, as well as integration of HD radio, Pandora Internet radio and the Aha Radio interface through Bluetooth.
Will it be built? Yes. It will look very similar to this when it goes on sale in early 2013.
