The leading lights of the New York International Auto Show were out in full force this year, dazzling us with the sheer number of new vehicle reveals and intriguing automotive advancements. It was hard to whittle down the list, but we've put together the top 25 cars and trucks that caught our attention at the New York Auto Show. Check out our take on the coolest and most interesting cars that you can find on the show floor this month in NYC.

2016 Nissan Maxima

Style is king with the 2016 Nissan Maxima, a redesign of the full-size model that serves as the brand's sedan flagship. Look for the Maxima's eye-catching good looks, improved interior, and class-competitive drivetrain in New York.

2016 BMW Alpina B6 Gran Coupe

How do you top one of the fastest four-door cars on the planet? By giving it an additional 60 horsepower, of course. The 600 horses and 590 lb-ft of twist available from the 2016 BMW Alpina B6 Gran Coupe's 4.4-liter twin-turbo V-8 rocket it to 60-mph in 60 seconds.

2016 Smart Fortwo

A new look comes with the 2016 Smart Fortwo, but don't expect the runabout to deviate from its two-seat city car template. The three-cylinder engine under the Smart's hood displaces less than a liter, and a turbocharger helps it deliver just under 90 horsepower.

2016 Hyundai Tucson

Butch, but still small: the 2016 Hyundai Tucson compact crossover receives an attitude adjustment to go with its new direct-injection four-cylinder engine. More infotainment goodies are inside, with both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto available with the SUV.

2016 GMC Terrain

The 2016 GMC Terrain features fresh styling and a new batch of available active safety features. Under the hood it's still got the same four and six-cylinder engine options as it did the year before, along with the option of all-wheel drive.

2016 Jaguar XF

The 2016 Jaguar XF has seen up to 265 lbs trimmed from its mid-size luxury platform thanks to the extensive use of aluminum. A longer wheelbase gives the XF more interior room, and buyers can still choose between V-6 and V-8 models.

Volkswagen Beetle Convertible Denim Concept

Ever wanted to drive your jeans? The Volkswagen Beetle Convertible Denim Concept includes a denim-like fabric top, 'stonewashed' blue paint, denim pockets inside the car, and blue sport seats for Levis and Jordache fans.

2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata Club

The 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata Club is aimed at hardcore track fans who crave the purest driving experience possible. Lighter than the standard MX-5 Miata, the Club sticks with the stock 155 horsepower, 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine and features a more aggressively-tuned chassis.

The 2016 Lexus RX adds muscular, sporty styling to its toolbox with this latest redesign.  Fans of the luxury suv will also appreciate the new eight-speed automatic transmission paired with its 300 horsepower V-6 engine.

2016 Scion iA

It's the first-ever sedan from Scion, and the 2016 iA offers 42-mpg on the highway to go with its sporty looks. Performance isn't blistering - 106 horsepower from a 1.5-liter, four-cylinder motor - but the style quotient is strong with the small four-door Scion iA.
