At about 5:00 PM on March 24, a gaggle of tired journalists were ushered out of the Javitz Center media room and subsequently fled to the nearest bar. This pilgrimage marked the end of the 2016 New York Auto Show press days, but it also signified the unofficial closing point of the 2015-2016 auto show season. Over three continents and five countries, it was quite the stretch.

Supercars, EVs, and self-driving concepts cars made waves over the season’s six-month span, and now that the big stuff has (mostly) passed, we’d like to take a moment to reflect. In no particular order, these are six things we learned from the car show madness.

It’s been a doozy of a season, fellow gearheads. Thanks for following along with DT Cars, and we’ll see you at the next show.
