Los Angeles motor show - Introduction

Nowhere on earth is as devoted to the car as Los Angeles, so it’s perhaps surprising that the city’s auto show, which has been running since 1907, only became an important stop-over on the international circuit a few years ago.

For 2010 it’s bigger and better than ever, with more global debuts than in any previous year – and whatcar.com is there to bring you everything that’s going on in words, pictures and video.

Here, you’ll find all the important new models that are likely to be heading to the UK in the next few months, and some important concept cars and new technologies that, if not entirely showroom-ready, provide strong pointers to the things we will see within the next three or four years.
