The LA Auto Show Started Today

Non-car nerds: this is a huge-deal show – important new vehicle debuts happen here.  I was there last year, with Ford.

Despite the world’s worst thumbnail, it’s a fun 1:15 video.

This year, my editor Joe, and 3 team members are there, follow the news here on Autonet.ca.

It’s one of the best places for show coverage in Canada, and, and there’ll be great wrap-up slideshows on the weekend. I’m not saying this because it’s my team, it’s because I lucked out with this job, and joined the team.

My article today.

First time EVER, that a car company allowed a designer to modify the body of their vehicle. Ususally it’s more like interior colours, and the look & feel.

About the new Fiat 500c Abarth. I’ve never driven a Fiat, and after reading up, would really like to.

The Los Angeles Auto Show 2011

I had a great time at the LA Auto Show last November! Ford brought me along with them, was a gracious host and I had an amazing time, thanks again guys!

A 6.7L engine woah, that pickup dream of mine is old, it’s too bad tinting that dark is illegal, those Mitsubishi concept cars are cute, I stand by my cycling team comment :|, and cool about the Mustang Pantone yellow like a school bus, eh.

Click here for a full list of debuts at the show. Also, the show does something nice each Thursday night before it opens, they throw a charity event benefitting a program to give healthcare to the homeless in LA.

But wait, November was so long ago, why is this video posted now? I’d moved the week before, moved to a new laptop, switched to the new Final Cut X, then left the country for 4 months weeks after getting home. Still good footage, still sorry about the delay Ford :)
