QOTD: What LA Auto Show Debut Excites You?

Hello from sunny Southern California. You may notice a later-than-usual posting schedule today and tomorrow as we work our way through the LA Auto Show -- we're sorta working on West Coast time.

Which brings me to the QOTD -- what debut from this show has you perking up?


So far we've seen the Toyota Prius/Prius Prime and bZ concept, and Fiat's embargo broke overnight. Subaru will be showing the next Impreza, and Hyundai, Genesis, Kia, and VinFast all have pressers scheduled.

So the question today is straightforward -- as you follow the news from LA, which car is one that you'll be keeping an eye on for the next few months? Which one, if any, would get you to sign on the dotted line?

Or is LA just one big bag of meh for you this year?

Hit up the comments and let us know.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

    If I was ten years younger and didn't need a lot of legroom in the back for a leggy teenager, I'd be very interested in the new Prius. Oh and also if cars weren't so damn expensive thanks to covid. Otherwise I'm not interested in anything.

    Last time was at autoshow in 2019 - boring. Nothing excites me anymore.

    Prius, 500e (assuming the Abarth comes here)

    The new Prius arrived at the right time, with $5 gas and $6 Diesel and staying up there for almost a full year. Many prius owners had switched to Teslas in the past. Will the new model be able to stem the tide? Or will TOyota have to develop and produce, at breakneck speed, a "Better Tesla" BEV to get them back?
