DARYN KAGAN, CNN ANCHOR: The New York International Auto Show is revving up this week at the Jacob Javits Center.

Lincoln has just unveiled a new mid- sized sport utility called the Aviator. It is smaller and cheaper than the Navigators. Luxury cars really are hot, and manufacturers just keep pumping them out at more affordable prices. Jaguar has an X-Type that is selling for just $30,000. The headline grabber today, however, is GM and its Saturn division. Saturn has unveiled the Ion, that is the first small car that Saturn has launched in 12 years.
