Some more of the Pictures for the LA Auto Show





Lexus brought their v10 supercar to the show, as well, the LF-A. In person, the design of both the exterior and interior are remarkable. Although it is a Japanese car, it still appears like it will be able to keep with those other supercars from Germany and Italy, mainly the Ferrari 458 Italia, the Mercedes SLS AMG, and the McLaren MP4 12-C. Cut-away models are remarkable: the brakes look brilliant and the engine looks like it came out of a formula one car.

Here is the floor-model Jaguar XJ. The redesign is absolutely gorgeous compared to the predecessor. Rather that having an old country side appearance, it has a modern expresso feel to it. As a late 2010 model, the XJ will go on sale in the U.S. this month.

At the BMW booth, the prototype of the BMW Vision Concept car. Designed for BMW's EfficientDynamics, the car makes use of the combination of BMW ActiveHybrid components with an extremely economical combustion engine, and outstanding aerodynamic qualities.
At the Audi booth, an Audi R8 5.2 V10 spyder was on the floor-room. The conversion from the coupe to a convertible will definitely provide drivers with an open-top thrill. The looks are still very good and hopefully the weight of the electric mechanism does not spoil the fun and balance of the hardtop.


This was the one of the first shows the Acura ZDX debuted at, with several floor room models for visitors to sit in. Looking at the ZDX from the outside, the lines are definitely attractively flowing. The sloping of the sport hatch-back similarly mirrors that of the BMW X6, except Acura's sport SUV has a much better exterior with its lower stance. On the other hand, the same cannot be said about the interior. Sitting inside the cockpit, the driver gets the usual mass array of buttons angled all over the dash. The steering wheel also has tons of buttons. The floorboard is raised much too high, so a driver with long legs would not be in great comfort. The ZDX would definitely be a great car for those more concerned with the exterior appearance rather than the comfort and usability.

Mazda unveiled a new sub-compact car to its line-up this year called the Mazda 2. The car is very similar to the Mazda 3 in appearance, except it is much smaller. It looks like it would be a fun peppy little car for the city. The size is very much similar to that of Ford's new Ford Fiesta hatchback. As a 2011 model, the car will be brought to America in either the third or fourth quarter of 2010.
