It may not have had the sheer number of new cars and trucks shown in Detroit,
but this year's L.A. show still boasted several important product
introductions that made headlines. GM had the biggest presence with a total of
five new vehicles on display, but hot cars from Acura, Lotus and Panoz also
grabbed their fair share of attention.
On the concept side, Hummer's unveiled its latest creation dubbed the
H3T. Smaller than the H2 but fortified with equal amounts of attitude and
off-road ability, the H3T could be a look at the next new member of the Hummer
family. A new TL is already on the streets, but that didn't stop Acura from
showing off a high-performance concept
of its midsize sedan. With 22-inch wheels and a stark red interior, it showed
a side of Acura that most consumers have probably never seen before.
When it came to actual production cars, the two biggest newsmakers just so
happened to be the two smallest vehicles. Chevrolet pulled the wraps off its
all-new Cobalt compact sedan and
coupe after years of neglecting the entry-level segment and it looks to be a
big improvement over the Cavalier it replaces. For more performance-oriented
buyers, look no further than the Lotus
Elise coupe. Known the world over for its spectacular handling, this
diminutive two-door will finally make it way to the States this summer. For a
closer look at some or our favorites, check out the links below:
