The 2013 New York International Auto Show features 1,000 vehicles plus the latest in tech, safety and innovation.

As usual, there were some fantastic vehicle debuts, some of which I thought I would share with you this week. In no particular order, here are a few of my favorites:

The 'World Car of the Year for 2013" is the new Golf. The globally sought-after prize was awarded at the New York International Auto Show. This car sets new benchmarks in efficiency and environmental credentials.

2014 Cadillac CTS announces a new, longer, lower and leaner sedan into the midsize luxury segment. The new Vsport model offers new Cadillac Twin-Turbo V-6 and brand's first eight-speed automatic transmission.

The 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA45 AMG will be a powerful upscale option that looks as good as it goes.

The 2014 BMW 328D: Diesel cars are in high demand in the U.S. While BMW has offered diesels in the U.S. for some time, this will be the first four-cylinder model. No fuel economy numbers are available yet but this Bimmer should return somewhere in the 40s.

The 2013 Shelby 1000: 1,200 horsepower on pump gas. Yes, actually. This car is a monster! Considering that 300 horsepower is considered a lot these days, imagine driving a sports car with four times that amount of power?!!! I'm not sure how Shelby and Ford plan to keep the rear tires from spinning with every blip of the throttle.

The 2014 Range Rover Sport: Think of a sporty luxury car that is also a true, capable off-roader and you have the Range Rover. This thing looks mean and yet it's civilized to the point of making the likes of British Royalty feel at home. Range Rover took styling cues from the Evoque and applied them to the Sport. The result is stunning.

The all-new 2014 KIA Soul urban utility vehicle is thoroughly freshened. With a new chassis that is stiffer, longer and wider, the all-new Soul has grown up without losing its edge, allowing for more passenger and cargo room, plus three unique trim levels will be available.

The NY Auto Show runs Saturday, March 30th through Sunday April 7th at the Jacobs Javits Center in NYC.
