Hyundai sports car concept among LA show world debuts


Among the 40+ vehicles, concept and production alike, that will be making their world or North American debuts next month at the Los Angeles Auto Show will be a new sports car concept from Hyundai, likely based on the Korean automaker’s new rear-drive architecture first seen in the upcoming Genesis sedan and likely the replacement for the Tiburon (pictured). Additionally, Nissan will;debut;the next-generation of;the Murano midsize crossover, and;Volkswagen will unveil;a new;variant of;its Up! minicar concept.

Last year’s;green;theme;will continue, with a repeat appearance of the Green Car of the Year Award and anticipated debuts of new hybrids and other environmentally-friendly vehicles.

The Los Angeles Auto Show has grown in importance since moving in 2006 from its previous January slot to November, thus becoming the first North American auto show of the season. As a result, it is becoming the site of more premieres, with Porsche going as far as not attending the Detroit Auto Show.
