Though Ford had already debuted the Raptor at last year’s Detroit Auto Show, the off-road special truck was revealed again, this time as a longer SuperCrew model.
Twitter also noted that Nissan and Volvo both created a fair amount of buzz for tweets showing off the GT-R and the interior of the new S90 respectively.
