LA Auto Show
Right, just back from the LA motor show, camera has got about 700 pics on it, sadly I have not looked at them yet.
A few big things from this year:
• Focus on Sub Compact cars.
- Ford Fiesta
- Mazda 2
- Chevy Cruze
- Chevy Volt
Ford have been slapping a ton of social media networking behind the new Fiesta, all sorts of twitter, blogs and peer to peer stuff. The fiesta comes in a ton of fruity colours which are supposed to be youth centric.
The Mazda 2 is also another smaller little number, little more agressivly styled than the partially bubbly Fiesta. 2010 looks like it will be the year for these econo, high mpg sub $15k motors. The Chevy Cruze also falls in this cat, but let's not talk about that for good reasons.
• Development of crossover category.
- Honda Cross Tour
- Acura ZDX
- Bmw X6
On the crossover front there seems to be quite a development of vehicles with a unque style concerning the rear 3rd of the car, sportier looking CUV Crossover Utility Vehicle, a large hatchback on a car with a higher back end, a little bit of a "fastback" and "touring style" with a nose sloping bodyline. The hatch backs also seem to be developing a lot of glass which is spilling into the rear vertical panel of the trunk.
• Electric cars hit mainstream.
- Chevy Volt
- Audi Etron (nr concept.)
- Mitsubishi IMiEV
Good webpage to cover them here:
