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.
* North American premier
** claimed North American premier, but not true
º "stolen" from the Detroit show
-Audi S8*º
-Audi RS4?
-Audi Shooting Brake Concept*
-Bentley Azure

-Ferrari F430 Spider** seen at the CA Autoshow

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.

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.
