2010 LA Auto Show Coverage

[AutoGuide.com]

Traditionally the Los Angeles International Auto Show was little more than a side-bar to the larger Detroit Show, focusing mostly on green technology cars and convertibles. While that still holds true, the market for hybrids and electric cars has grown considerably and so LA has taken center stage as the car show for environmentally friendly vehicles.

For several years now the LA show has taken up a new spot on the calendar, falling between the Paris and Detroit shows, meaning it gets more of the North American debuts. Plus, with Los Angeles now the center of car culture in North America, the show continues to grow, this year promising 50 vehicle debuts, including 20 world premieres.

The Fiat 500, Nissan Leaf, and Chevy Volt are among 20 cars to have their worldwide debut. But what about the Beetle? On the LA Auto show's website, the only new VW they mention is a slightly re-skinned Eos. I've read over and over that the NB2 was supposed to appear at this show. Are those camouflauged bumpers, headlights, etc. being kept a big secret, OR....has the NB2's unveiling been delayed? I wonder...according to Motor Trend, we won't see the next NB until January or March, in either Detroit or Geneva. Anybody know for sure?
