New York Motor Show 2014: Live Report

AOL Cars editor James Baggott and news editor Leon Poultney are in New York today, reporting live from the International Motor Show.

The show is growing in popularity in the motoring calendar thanks in no small part to Britain's Jaguar Land Rover which focuses large chunks of its small country-sized budget at stealing the headlines.

The manufacturer has already treated us to the glitzy Discovery concept unveiling on board a disused aircraft carrier, on the Hudson river, next to a spaceship. No joke. And the firm is promising some more surprises at today's show.

But it's not just JLR. Ford has been busy grabbing some column inches with a Mustang stunt on top of the Empire State Building, while they'll be news from the big American manufacturers and the Germans too.

Stay tuned to this live blog for updates throughout the afternoon and evening as the show kicks off in America.
