Most anticipated vehicles of 2018 range from Stinger to Ranger

With auto show season in full swing, automakers are ratcheting up the excitement for new rides arriving in dealerships and driveways in 2018.

The corresponding record-high price tags, averaging over $36,000 according to Edmunds, are not as promising.
