Hyundai brought to L.A. its imaginatively designed Veloster C3 Roll Top concept while Mercedes-Benz introduced its Ener-G-Force concept — an SUV designed for the show’s “Highway Patrol Vehicle 2025? competition. On the production-car front, it doesn’t get much more significant than the new 2013 Toyota RAV4 and the quickly refreshed 2013 Honda Civic.
The new Acura RLX and Porsche Cayman were notable premium-brand debuts, and we also saw the new Kia Forte sedan and refreshed Kia Sorento crossover. There was plenty more, from the Chevrolet Spark EV to the 2014 Nissan GT-R to the Fiat 500L, the Mini Paceman, Mazda6, and 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander crossover.
