The Los Angeles Motor Show is well underway - check out mtisshaw's full show report for the ultimate overview
, but here we are just weeks later at LA looking at static cars in show halls. Following the recent trend of shows, it was undoubtedly quieter than in years gone by, yet the new metal count was greater than in Paris even if most of the industry’s biggest executives stayed away.
Most, but not all: Volkswagen’s Thomas Schäfer was in town. When asked for his view on the future of the motor show, he agreed with the general sentiment that the world is moving on from them, a change hastened by Covid. “Obviously, it's not happening the way it used to happen, motor shows one after another, every city having one. Some of the central ones might still carry on. But it's all moving more like in Munich [an outdoor show in the city centre] and I like that a little bit more.
“I like the [Goodwood] Hillclimb, and stuff like this. It's interesting. Now, CES in Las Vegas is getting a lot of attention. The places to be and the format have changed. I don't think we will go back to the way it used to be, to be honest."and its X Convertible concept. Genesis is at the stage of its development where it constantly needs to be creating news and headlines to build interest, and this concept certainly does that.
Making an impact is something the Hummer EV did. Frankly, it’s an absurd creation, and a brand that was probably best left dormant. Far greater intrigue could be found in the Hyperion X1, a hydrogen supercar that looks the type of concept/prototype to be unlikely to ever a turn a wheel in anger, yet we wish them well as its design is a world away from the homogenised shape of zero-emission supercars we’re seeing more often.
