#LAAutoShow: The Agents Whet Your Appetite For LAAS With HOT Cars And HOT Pics...

It seems as though the 2018 Los Angeles Auto Show is just starting to heat up. Usually, the LA Auto Show is a bit on the quieter side but it appears that this year there's different plans at play.

That's because there's a slew of all-new and important debuts happening in SoCal this year.

LA Auto Show Preview

Take, for example, the all-new Mazda 3, all-new Porsche 911 and all-new Audi e-tron GT. That's only a very small sampling as we anticipate much more to make an appearance. You'll just have to keep your browsers locked to AutoSpies.com for more details.

Having said that, in our usual auto show tradition, we wanted to get you juiced up for the last BIG show of the year with a preview gallery. Remember, this is the auto show that juxtaposes vehicles with Hollyweird and all the things that make SoCal great.

Expect A-list celebrities, low riders, models and everything else in between.

Drugs, alcohol, and prostitution for the motoring press...

When are you going? My local brother and his husband, my San Fran brother and his husband, my buddy from Tucumcari, and I go typically every year. We do the show, then steaks and martinis at this one place we like, and then back to the room for more martinis and hanging out. The hangover will be horrific, but worth it. Perhaps we could meet and let bygones be bygones.

Thanks for the invite - appreciate it. I go every year with my dad and we kind of have our routine set in stone - test drives in the morning and then walking the halls in the afternoon. Plus - he's not much of a drinker. I'm down for some other time.

I think it would be fun to scare the living sh!+ out of you in a TVR.

We always have Thanksgiving dinner in the car garage on the property. Calling it a garage is kind of an insult. I always make sure there are some specimens there as a backdrop simply because to be around my swirl you have to be a car person. My wife loves going to the track as much as I do. Today's backdrop was a "continuation" Sagaris with an LS7, a Thunderbolt replica, and a lovely Z06.

To be honest the LA Auto Show, the six of us don't drink like we used to. Three of us are parents. I have 5+1. My brother and his hubby from San Fran have a 6 year old. So that's three of us right there. My local brother and his husband are getting their first via a surrogate after the first of the year. My buddy from Tucumcari has no desire to reproduce ever, so he rolls his eyes and calls us light weights. We're becoming old.

Have you picked a day yet?

I thought Land Rover scrapped this retro Defender concept - surprised to see it back looking exactly the same.

This is the LA Auto Show. They recycle excrement shown in the calendar year after the last LA show, and rarely is anything significant debuted at LA. This is why steaks and martinis with the guys is the proper antidote. I miss the Encounter restaurant at LAX, now those were the times.

Used to hit the Encounter almost everytime on the way out of town, until I went there in 2014 and discovered it was closed. That sucked.

Indeed. It was fun to be 21, in a Hugo Boss suit, some Cole Haan shoes, and a Rolex--none of which I could afford on my own at the time and enjoy the elderly gold old boys talking business. Great times.

Four words... "Audi Cross Cabriolet Quattro". WTF.

Did Nissan need to generate some cash and so they sold the tooling for the dopey Murano Cabriolet to Audi? Ugh.
