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
As a professional in the automotive industry, I’ve been attending many large auto shows for the past 14 years and I couldn’t agree more, they’ve all declined quite a bit. I miss when there were more concept cars and crazy designs, even if they never came to fruition it was neat to see. Nowadays I’m just like… “where’s Nissan? Where’s Honda?” Haha. :/
