Los Angeles Auto Show Hosts World Premieres for Nine Top Auto Manufacturers

Opening in less than three months, the 2007 Los Angeles Auto Show will feature at least a dozen world premieres of production and/or concept vehicles from nine top automakers during the show’s media days Nov. 14 and 15. Audi, Chrysler, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Nissan, Toyota and Volkswagen are all confirmed to unveil one or more production and/or concept vehicles at this year’s show.

Last year, for the first time in more than 30 years, the LA Auto Show ran in the fall rather than early January, attracting more exhibitors and more worldwide and North American vehicle debuts. This year, with nine leading automakers already confirmed for world premieres, the emphasis on the LA Auto Show continues.

“Putting more distance between our show and Detroit has allowed manufacturers more time and resources to focus on both and gives the LA Auto Show its own place on the international auto show calendar,” said Andy Fuzesi, general manager of the LA Auto Show.

While often recognized for its auto design innovation and a strong luxury market, Southern California has also become a key region for alternative fuel vehicles. This year’s show will continue its focus on the latest “green” auto technology and anticipates significant alternative fuel vehicle news as well as the announcement of the 2008 Green Car of the Year.

About the LA Auto Show

For the second year in a row, the Los Angeles Auto Show will be held in the fall. The show opens for media only Nov. 14 and 15 with media registration starting Sept. 1. Public days run from Nov. 16-25. Last year, new fall timing prompted a record 36 world and North American vehicle debuts and record media attendance and news coverage from around the globe.

For some reason the LA Auto Show does not interest me at all. This upcoming show in Frankfurt officially unveiling the Porsche GT2, 430 Scuderia, and the supposed Lamborghini ultra-hyper car, those three are hard to beat unless some are more interested in vehicles that are more sane.

Lexus LF-A alone will overshine them all.

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic. I hope you are.

S4, chances are he isn't as the majority of his replies are in Toyota/Lexus based topics and if a reply is somewhere else it's a lame one liner about how people like to get ripped off by not buying a Lexus or how Lexus and Toyota are the greatest in the world.

It really is becoming hard to like Lexus automobiles with all the Lexus/Toyota nonesense that goes around here.
