Earlier today, we showed you a brace of images starring the refreshed 2013 Mercedes-Benz GLK that will make its debut at the New York Auto Show next month. But upon closer inspection, the folks at CarScoop found something very interesting hiding in the back of one of the GLK photos: the revised 2013 G-Class. Funk Flex
Auto Talk: Honda to reveal Crosstour concept in New York
Honda has announced it will debut a concept version of the 2013 Crosstour at the New York Auto Show next month. Details are scarce at the moment, but we wouldn’t be surprised if the vehicle turns out to be a thinly veiled look at the next version of the funky crossover. Honda has a long and storied history of rolling out concepts with more than a passing resemblance to its production models. Given that the Crosstour has only been on the market for a couple of years, we aren’t anticipating an all-new model, or perhaps even a heavy redesign. Funk Flex
Auto Talk: 2013 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG revs up for Big Apple debut
How do you make a 4,300-pound roadster accelerate to 60 miles per hour in under four seconds?

Welcome to the 2013 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG. Funk Flex
Auto Talk: Governor plans to tear down newly renovated Jacob Javits Center, NY Auto Show home
New York Governor Andrew M. Cuomo has big plans for the Jacob K. Javits Center. The politician recently announced plans to tear down the convention hall to make way for housing, hotels and museums. The remainder of the land would then be leased to developers as an additional source of income for the state. That comes as a shock to architect Bruce S. Fowle, who has been renovating the structure for the past six years, working to turn the 25-year-old structure into a brighter space with a smaller environmental footprint. Funk Flex
Auto Talk: 2013 Nissan Pathfinder engine confirmed, big deal debuting in Big Apple
There is a lot to like about the Pathfinder Concept Nissan unveiled at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show. The thinly disguised showcar foregoes the body-on-frame construction of the current Pathfinder for a weight savings of about 500 pounds. Nissan also promises fuel economy improvement of about 25 percent with the production model, which would be no small feat. Funk Flex
