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
I still enjoy chicago for that reason, this year I ended up driving a solid 10-12 cars too, could’ve been more but i’m under 25. It sucks on the more flagship end of things though, no launches and the german luxury brands are basically absent as well, let alone any higher end or bespoke brands to oogle at. Ford does a good job bringing some cool GTs though.
