Once again the LA Auto Show delivered. I went with my two sons who always highly anticipate this event. The event is held at the LA Convention Center and the place is spotless.   The South Hall contains the majority of the cars worth seeing which include Mercedes, Lexus, Audi and many more. Virtually every model you can think of is there for you to experience. In the West Hall you will find a small Tesla exhibit and a dedicated area for Porsche. The only downside is that you are not allowed to sit in a Porsche. Outside of the Porsche exhibit is a fun little area for kids to climb around in a jungle gym, play in a ball pit and some activities that were set up on iPads. Make sure to give yourself a couple of hours because there is just so much to see.

 

Tips:

 

Parking can be a little difficult and the lots range from $20 all the way up to $50. Don't get tricked into one of the  $45 to $50 lots because there are many $20 within close walking range. Another option is to take the train in because there is a stop right across from the convention center. This will help you avoid all the crowds.

The LA Auto Show® announced today that it expects more than 50 vehicles to be unveiled in front of media, analysts and industry executives during its trade show, AutoMobility LATM, taking place November 14-17, 2016, at the Los Angeles Convention Center.

 

While nearly every automaker is slated to unveil products and/or make significant announcements, a few have begun to share their plans for vehicle reveals. Among the more than 20 world debuts will be introductions by Alfa Romeo, Mazda, MINI, Subaru, Volkswagen and a compact SUV from Jeep.  Other reveals confirmed are those from Infiniti, Jaguar Land Rover and smart.  Audi, Mercedes-Benz and Nissan will have multiple reveals, while Porsche has confirmed five debuts.

 

General Motors (GM) will have multiple global and North American debuts, including two reveals from Chevrolet.  Cadillac’s debut lineup will include the Escala concept car, which has only been seen on the Concept Lawn at the 2016 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance.

 

In addition to production and concept vehicles in the luxury and performance segments, this year’s unveilings will include a significant showing of SUVs and electric/hybrid options across several makes and models.


Moreover, there will be several kids friendly areas this year for little car enthusiasts. 

 

Chrysler Pacifica Kids Zone

Kids ages 3-12 will have a blast at this year’s Chrysler Pacifica Kids Zone, where they will be able to get out all their energy in the jungle gym and ball pit. Parents will get a chance to relax while watching their children from the lounge area where they can learn about the brand-new Pacifica Hybrid.

 

GO Zone

This all-new destination featuring the latest smart mobility devices and apps on the LA Auto Show floor is a perfect addition to any family outing. Children and parents alike will have the chance to try out some of the latest innovations used to get from point A to B, such as personal mobility devices, rideables and virtual reality demonstrations.

 

The Stache Dash is a 5k workout, presented by the LA Auto Show® and the Movember Foundation beginning at 7:00 a.m. on Monday, November 21. Runners will take their mark and begin a morning jog in and around the LA Convention Center, getting an exclusive look at the show before it opens to the public later in the day. Stache Dash is open to the first 300 joggers/runners who sign up at https://us.movember.com/events/view/id/z4YA.

Following AutoMobility LA, all of this year’s debuts will be on display at the 2016 LA Auto Show (open to the public November 18-27).

 

AutoMobility LA is the culmination of a multi-year evolution of the LA Auto Show’s Connected Car Expo and its Press & Trade Days into a trade show designed exclusively for the new automotive industry.  The four-day event will bring together the entire “new mobility ecosystem” comprised of automakers, tech companies, designers, developers, startups, investors, dealers, government officials, analysts, etc.
