2006 Los Angeles Auto Show Preview
 

It's the first international autoshow of the season and it's continuing to steal Detroit's spotlight for itself. So what can you see there?

The Los Angeles Auto Show is approaching fast. (Jan. 6 - Jan. 15)
It'll be at the LA Convention Center next to the Staples Center, as always.

Interestingly, some cars were to debut at the NAIAS in Detroit, but some manufacturers may have been impatient. Other cars are claimed to debut at the LA Autoshow, but were shown previously at other events.

These are some of the most tantalizing pieces of metal that will be on display.

Wow, that is a pretty amazing line up. I wish the SF one had something to this effect.

I heard that Chris Bangle himself will be there to launch the cars too.

So will Ken Okuyama for Pininfarina.

and i will be there to enjoy it :). I cant wait, I think this will be one of the best in years, I hope the new Dodge Challenger and Camaro are going to be there.

I've been going there for that last 28 years (Yep, my father started taking me when I was 2), so there is no question I will be there next year too.
