Prelude to the 2011 LA Auto Show

In just a few months, one of America's prominent auto shows will open to the public, and set the tone for the fall season and the coming year. The Los Angeles Auto Show is the last largest American auto show of the year, and will draw visitors and enthusiasts from across the globe for 9 days of automobile bliss.

As the end-of-year showcase, the LA Auto Show is the event where major automakers, industry heads and 3rd party technology vendors gather to debut the latest models, onboard innovations, next year's exclusives, and as always; the near-future concepts.

"The message this year is very clear," said Andy Fuzesi, general manager, LA Auto Show, "The automotive industry is gaining momentum and the LA Show is an important venue for manufacturers to launch the innovations that are leading the way." Source [Aug. 3 Press Release]

Ford will debut three models, General Motors is expected to have two, while Volkswagen, Subaru, Mitsubishi and Fiat will have exciting showcases.

"Coming off the momentum of the 2010 show and historic evolutions in the industry, the LA Auto Show continues to expand its role as a leading showcase for fuel-efficient vehicles including electric vehicles and other ground-breaking, alternative fuel technologies," stated the Press Release
