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
Man, the LA Auto Show has fallen far. I’ve gone every year for the past four years, and each time there were less manufacturers. This year there wasn’t even Porsche! Which is kind of weird because they unveiled the 911 Dakar at the LA Auto Show last year, I wonder why they pulled out this year.
To make way for Kevin Hart’s rides!
Seriously, though, it was disappointing to not see Porsche there. That was always a highlight for me.
