2005 Los Angeles Auto Show

[HeilSvenska]

Los Angeles Auto Show is the first auto show of the season. Anyone going? I know I am.

According to BBC News, Detroit is losing world premiers to Los Angeles. Chevrolet has decided to reveal the new Impala and Monte Carlo here. Even Ford is unveiled the Ford Mustang Convertible. Other good news are that Audi A3 Sportback is available in United States (Yay!) There will be the first appearance of the Venturi Fétish from Monaco, Ferrari F430 will make its North American premier here and so will Spyker C8. And the delicious Arnage Drophead Coupe concept will be at the show.

Here's a list of interesting cars that will be at the show

Aston Martin V12 Vanquish S

Audi A4/A4 Avant (revised)
Bentley Arnage Drophead Coupe
Bentley Continental GT Mulliner Edition
BMW M3 Competition (instead of the CSL)

PLEASE take lots of photos. Should be a great event :D Wish I could go, but that's quite a trek for me :(

Is this really teh premier for the Spyker C8? Its been around for a while, and I thought the North American market was it's main market. Maybe it's the C12? Either way, awesome. Venturi Fetish? I didn't realize Venturi was still around. They definitely dropped off the radar. My radar at least. Hope this car brings them back strong

Spyker never was imported to North America. I believe it's the premier of the C8 Spyder only.

[findleybeast]

my bad, I was just going off something I heard in an old review or read somewhere. Then it's a great day for America!

UCLA, or USC???

Do you guys think i should borrow my dads 5.0 megapixel camera for the show, or do you think my 4.1 will be good enough? should i take my tripod or not? Also if your gonna go flash your car key and i believe you get a cheaper entry fee, also if you have a merc, or a bmw, or a lexus flash your key by their set up and they have a lounge set up for their customers. :P

I think he meant NAIAS North American International Auto Show in Detroit.
Yes lots of cars are debuted there but the biggest in North America is still the Chicago show.

im unsure how many cars are to be at chicago... but in Detroit, its over 750 :-D

[T-Bird]

well considering you guys have 700,000 square feet of floor space then they say it will have 1 million with some 2 tier displays but our show fills a grand 1.2 million sguare feet. not including the Aftermarket displays on a different floor. Oh it's 1,000 cars. Including the indoor Jeep test track. (can't forget that)
Not to try and put your's down by any means since yours is where most of the debut's are at.
