it likely that residents there will be the ones who will be motivated to buy them. • Most gas-powered cars being displayed were sports utility vehicles. • Tesla’s Model 3 was prominently shown at the car show, making it obvious that there is at least one new automobile manufacturer working to find its niche in the auto market. • Car makers are making announcements about new car-sharing programs. • Land Rover showed a Range-Rover plug-in hybrid with a range of 31 miles on one charge. That is admittedly not a lot of ground, “The Los Angeles Auto Show is in full swing and automakers are showing off new updates of hot-selling vehicles and the debut of a batch of sexy new cars, SUVs and trucks.”– USA Today “The Los Angeles Auto Show has long been known as a show- case for sports cars and alternative-powered vehicles like hybrids, electric-cars and even hydrogen cars. But this week, the stars seem to be bigger, thirstier and brawnier.”– David Kiley, Forbes “It wouldn’t be a proper Los Angeles Auto Show without a variety of luxury high-performance cars on display, and this year was no exception. From production cars to concepts and from the exotic to the everyday, the show proved enthusiasm for driving is still alive and well amid the threat of soulless autonomous pods tak- ing over the future of transportation.”– Kelly Pleskot, Motor Trend “It's ironic that in a town that routinely ranks in the top five most vegan-friendly cities in the America, so many major car debuts at its annual auto exhibition can be described as noth - ing short of Grade A USDA red meat.”– Matt Schmitz, Cars.com “This year’s Los Angeles Auto Show gave us a whole bunch of sweet new cars to put on our holiday wishlist.”– Brian Silvestro, Road and Track “The 2017 Los Angeles Auto Show kicked off late last week. Hun - dreds of cars and trucks perch on extravagant display stands, all vying for your attention. Some vehicles are making their national or international debuts, others have been revealed elsewhere but are so striking, we can’t look away.”– Sean Evans, Men’s Health “For decades, automakers have flocked to the annual Los Ange - les Auto Show, running this year from December 1 through 10, to highlight some of their most beautiful luxury cars and SUVs. And as the trajectory of the automotive industry will most surely change over the next several years, the City of Angels has also become the place to debut innovations in technology, service, and even new forms of vehicle ownership.”– Laura Burstein, Robb Report “The century-old L.A. Auto Show, which opens its 10-day run Fri- day, is one of the largest, longest-running and most popular car exhibitions in the world. The 110th edition of show at the Los Angeles Convention Center draws not only thousands of car fans but also a huge contingent of industry workers and automotive and technology journalists who want a close-up look at the new - est things on wheels.”– James F. Peltz, Los Angeles Times “The 2017-18 North American auto-show season kicks off this week in sunny Southern California when carmakers from around the world bring their latest offerings to the 2017 Los An - geles Auto Show. Vehicles ranging from design concepts to pro - duction models will dot the floor of the LA Convention Center. Although the concepts at the show represent a glimpse into the future of the automotive industry, more-production-ready ve - hicles will give the public a chance to see what's soon headed to their dealers' showrooms.”– Benjamin Zhang, Business Insider “The Los Angeles Auto Show was once a footnote in compari- son to the North American Auto Show in Detroit. Since the de- mise of Detroit’s dominance, however, LA has garnered a great deal of significance.”– Digital Trends “Los Angeles is America's unofficial car capital, and the LA Auto Show (rechristened AutoMobility LA last year for the me- dia preview portion) always brings out impressive debuts.”– Doug Newcomb, PC Mag  LA CAR SHOW — continued on page 13 What People Said: Show
