2011 Los Angeles Auto Show Roundup
A quick look at the cars of the Los Angeles Auto Show 2011, from the Subaru BRZ to the Beetle R and the Mustang Shelby to the Panamera GTS.
This week saw the start of the Los Angeles Motor Show, so we thought we’d have a quick look at what was on the floor, including some of the stuff we haven’t already looked at.
There was the ‘cool in white’ Jaguar stand and the latest Defender DC100 Concept, all prettied up in baby blue.
There were Camaros and Mustangs, the new Bentley GTC (but no V8 – that’s for Detroit in January), a hot Beetle R and Volvo’s You Concept that points the way to the next generation of Volvo design.
This isn’t completely comprehensive, but we’ll add to it as more photos come in from the show.
Clicking on any of the photos below will take you to a photo gallery page.

 The Cadillac XTS – the new range-topping Cadillac tried to look appealing |

 Ford Escape – Ford Kuga to be – got its world debut at LA ahead of Europe. |
 The new Honda CR-V arrived at Los Angeles looking just like a Honda CR-V |
 Infiniti’s big crossover – the Infiniti JX – debuted in public. We won’t be getting it. |
 Jaguar gave the C-X16 (XE) a new coat of Neutron White paint to get the LA vibe |
 The Jaguar XKR-S Convertible – all £103k of it – also came in cool white |
 Land Rover found some baby blue paint and more technology to move the DC100 on. |
 The new, rather convincing, Lexus GS put in a show appearance at LA |
 The slows selling Lincoln MKT was given a new face that only a mother could love. |
 Mexico’s best arrived in the shape of the appealing – and yellow Mastretta MXT |
 Mazda’s effort in the compact SUV market arrived in North America – the Mazda CX-5 |
 LA wouldn’t be complete without a Mustang, this one the 2013 Mustang. |
 And if you’re going to have a Mustang have one with teeth – the 650bhp Mustang Shelby |
 We’re not too sure what Americans will make of the little urban warrior Nissan Juke |
 The Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet – thankfully not yet in showrooms anywhere. |
 The first trip to the States for the 2012 Porsche 911 we first saw at Frankfurt |
 World debut of the harder-edged Panamera – the Porsche Panamera GTS. |
 Subaru brought along a BRZ Concept STI, weeks before the real BRZ arrives. |
 Volvo showed us the You Concept from Frankfurt, Volvo’s future design language. |
 It’s just a concept – yeah, right – but the VW Beetle R almost makes the new Beetle desirable |
