2008 L.A. Auto Show Preview: Introduction

If the mention of cars and Los Angeles has you thinking of the Governator cruising in a drop-top Porsche and Eva Longoria straddling Lamborghinis, well, you're not far off the mark. Stars are big business in sunny SoCal, but it'll be cars, trucks, SUVs, crossovers, and concept vehicles taking center stage at the 2008 Los Angeles auto show. Usually simply serving as a warm up to the bigger-and-better Detroit auto show, Chicago auto show, and New York auto show, this year L.A. plays host to a variety of significant debuts, from sexy German convertibles to overhauled American muscle.

When the gates open on November 19th, we'll be reporting on all of the action directly from the L.A. auto show, but in the meantime, we've put together a preview of some of the vehicles that will be headlining in the City of Angels.
