Recently went to LA Auto Show. It was never world class but a decade or two ago it definitely had all mainstream German brands represented, the mainstream exotic brands (Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati) and the small market share brands like Alfa Romeo, Mitsubishi, etc. It had literally none of that. It wasn’t boring but it also wasn’t the “near-complete index of new cars for viewing” it used to be.

Do such shows still exist? Geneva and Detroit come to mind, but have they withered away too?

Maybe some lesser-known shows like Dubai, or Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, India? Mexico?

Would appreciate any input & insight

    TBH even NYC isn’t what it used to be— since they’ve come back from COVID the whole lower level is just a big track.

      Detroit went big on the tracks this year too. Mostly showing off the 0-60 for EV’s and off-road climbing set ups.
