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
This year was pretty bad. So much floor space was dedicated to test drive loops instead of more brands. Toyota has so much room they put in that sports land for kids the last 2 years.
Last year at least Galpin brought a lot of their brands in to give some brands a presence who couldn’t be bothered to show up. They’re pretty much the only one bringing in super cars and such to fill that big room between West and South hall.
