2015 Los Angeles auto show:: what to expect

As the dust settles around this year’s Tokyo motor show, held earlier this month, editorial engines are now firing up for the 2015 Los Angeles Auto Show.

Held annually, California’s big auto show is one of the largest on the calendar for North America, alongside the New York International Auto Show and the biggest, Detroit’s North American International Auto Show.

The organisers for this year’s show have promised a full 50 unveilings, with 30 of those to be world debuts.

Among the brands confirmed for world and North American premieres are Alfa Romeo, BMW, Bentley, Fiat, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Jaguar Land Rover, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, MINI, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Porsche, Subaru and Volkswagen.

Many of those have been revealed already, either online or during special events, but many are still to be shown and a handful have yet to be previewed at all.
