La Auto Show

Back in April, we talked a bit about the Subaru Ascent 3-row SUV Concept. The vehicle is to be the largest Subaru ever sold in the US with 3-rows of seating. Subaru says that the SUV will be family friendly and capable.

At first glance, the current Mazda CX-5 isn’t an old vehicle. In a sea of crossovers that are currently on sale, it looks better than many of them and has the good driving dynamics present in all Mazda products.

Up until now, there haven’t been many choices in the way of fully-electric SUVs or crossovers. In fact, the Tesla Model X is about the only game in town. It’s no secret that I think the Model X is downright hideous, so I can’t imagine plunking down over $100,000 for one, even if it is fast and has great driving range.

The LA Auto Show always has some cool car debuts while it is going and this year will be no different. One of the cool sports cars to debut will be the Panamera and Panamera Executive.

Mitsubishi has unveiled two of its new cars at the 2015 LA Auto Show. The new debuts include the 2016 Outlander Sport and the 2017 Mirage. The 2016 Outlander Sport has a bunch of improvements compared to the outgoing model, most notably a new front end with Mitsubishi’s new “Dynamic Shield” design language.

Mercedes-Benz has offered up the requisite shadowy teaser image of its new 2017 SL that will be unveiled at the 2015 LA Auto Show next week. The image doesn’t show much detail, but we can see that the lights, grille, and intakes have been changed.

The Los Angeles Auto Show’s annual design challenge for 2014 is built on the theme of  “Sensing the Future.” We previously shared the Q: QorosQloud Qubed Concept entry by Chinese automaker Qoros. Infiniti has revealed its entry into the contest: the SYNAPTIQ.

Galpin Auto Sports showed up at the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show with a car they promised to be the ultimate American muscle car and it seems they’ve delivered as promised. Designed and built with the help of Henrik Fisker, designer of the Fisker Karma, and Metalcrafters, Inc.,

The solar eclipse has finally passed and Lexus has fully unveiled its new open-air concept: The LF-C2. The car made its debut at the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show after the slow reveal was completed. The new sports convertible is done as a beautiful 2+2 roadster, with a bunch of styling cues taken from the RC F coupe, but with a long list of design tweaks and updates throughout.

Audi’s new design chief, Marc Lichte is ushering in a new era of design at the German automaker and, to showcase the company’s future direction, has unveiled the Audi Prologue concept car at the Los Angeles Auto Show.

Lexus continues to reveal more and more details of the new LF-C2 Concept before it fully unveils the model at the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show on November 19. As the sun moves through an eclipse we are catching more and more glimpses of the new convertible concept car (and we’ve taken the liberty of shedding a bit more light on the subject in some of the images below).

Lexus has begun teasing a what appears to be a new two-door convertible that the Japanese automaker will be bringing to the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show. The LF-C2 Concept will gradually be revealed through a series of images as the sun appears from behind the moon following a solar eclipse.
