There weren&#8217;t many huge reveals at this show, but cars like the new BMW M3 and Subaru WRX STI definitely made the trip worthwhile. I&#8217;ve been considering getting a new car, so I actually paid more attention this year.<\/p>\n<div class=\"postImage\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/img.benlevy.com\/auto\/show\/cas2014\/img_0643.jpg\" title=\"Toyota FT-1 concept\" \/><\/div>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Toyota really outdid themselves this year with the FT-1 concept.  Many people saw this as the spiritual successor of the Supra, but there is still no strong evidence that anything will make it to production.  It&#8217;s still a good sign to see Toyota bringing out cars with serious motorsports cred (even if they have <a href=\"http:\/\/img.benlevy.com\/auto\/show\/cas2014\/img_0591.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">Scion badges instead of Toyota<\/a>).<\/p>\n<div class=\"postImage\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/img.benlevy.com\/auto\/show\/cas2014\/img_0473.jpg\" title=\"BMW M3\" \/><\/div>\n<p>This star of this show was the BMW M3.  For years, this car has been the benchmark against which other sport sedans were measured.  I don&#8217;t know how the turbocharged engine or modern safety regulations will affect it, but I am happy to say that the car still looks amazing.  The M3 and M4 at the Chicago Auto Show were pre-production models, so we were no allowed inside.  I am happy with everything I&#8217;ve seen so far though.<\/p>\n<p>It was a great show though.
