This year over 1000 new cars, trucks, minivans and SUVs were displayed such as Bentley's 2007 Continental GTC, which is pictured on the right. There was also the new "Super Porsche" which is described in an ABC News article.

The supercharged car can go from zero to 60 miles per hour in only 3.4 seconds, and its engine produces 480 horsepower at 6,000 rpm - 60 horsepower more than its predecessor.

With a sticker price of more than $122,000, it's not for everyone. But the company is hopeful its 911 Turbo will continue to draw in elite customers.

"It really is in the last 1 percent of the market. It's very much a car for the visible achievers. It's very much car for technology aficionados," said Michael Bartsch, executive vice president and chief operations officer at Porsche Cars North America.
