Looking back on our time at the
L.A. Auto Show, it's clear things are changing in the automotive industry—and in the world as a whole. 2008 will surely be remembered as the pivotal year in which the "gasoline" era gave way to the "alternative-fuel and hybrid" era. At this show, auto manufacturers proudly presented alternative-fuel and gas-sipping vehicles as their flagships—a change from years past. Honda’s commitment to this movement was made abundantly clear with the presentation of our Insight,
CR-Z and
FC Sport Concept vehicles.
The reactions to the Insight Concept were very enthusiastic—from the press and the public. It seems as if Angelenos have been waiting for this type of car for a long time. One thing's certain, even in these challenging economic times: Car passion runs as strong as ever. Cars are more than a practical means of travel, and the L.A. Auto Show was evidence of this. This year's offerings were produced by some of the greatest arts and engineering minds in the world.
And don't worry, the excitement isn't over. The
North American International Auto Show is just around the corner, and that means more news from the automotive world. We'll keep you posted.
