For the past few years, Los Angeles has marked the official start of the US auto show season. I'm just back from the press preview, and there are plenty of cars worth talking about -- I'll be posting my photo gallery (with my usual commentary) over the weekend. Meanwhile, if you're in the area and want to attend the show, you'll find all the details in my Visitor's Guide to the Los Angeles Auto Show. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a ton of photos to finish editing... -- Aaron Gold

We’ll wait for the San Diego Car show the last week of the year. It is a bit smaller, less glitzy but still darn good. It is one our favorite events of the year.
