LA Auto Show, Day 2

Thursday, December 3, 2009
The second and final press day of the Los Angeles Auto Show isn't over yet, but all the major manufacturers have had their chance to shine. Today, there were three presentations that merited a lot attention--one from Hyundai, one from Buick, and one from Subaru.

The day's festivities kicked off with the Audi A3 TDI being named "2010 Green Car of The Year" by Green Car Journal. Hyundai then got things going with the day's first manufacturer press conference, at which it unveiled the 2011 Hyundai Tucson.

Buick was next, and journalists finally got to see the all-new Buick Regal in person, as well as a sneak peek at an artist's rendering of an upcoming Buick compact sedan. Subaru then followed with the introduction of the WRX Limited Edition, WRX STI Special Edition, and the Hybrid Tourer Concept. Along with the unveiling of the concept, Subaru said it will have a hybrid boxer engine to market by 2012.

Beyond that, it was a quiet day in Southern California. Fitting, perhaps, for the final auto-press day of 2009. See you in Detroit.
