Sure, we're all at the L.A. auto show to see all the brand-spanking-new cars, but a few manufacturers chose to display some greats from their past. Here are some of the gems. My favorite is the Jag. — saint Riswick, Automotive Editor

The lights are out at Chrysler. No seriously, while every other manufacturer utilizes special additional lighting, the entire Chrysler stand just gets by with the high-up L.A. Convention Center lighting. I guess it can't afford the power bill. Compare this to Chrysler's next-door neighbors, Audi, whose stand you could probably perform surgery on. Next door to it is Volkswagen, who has an equal amount of lighting power and a white floor to boot — it's like standing in Aspen on a sunny day.

The below video should give you an intent about the difference. My camera isn't sophisticated enough to change light levels mid-shot, so I could either have Chrysler all dark or Audi looking like the surface of the sun. I chose the former. -- saint Riswick, Automotive Editor

The 2010 Chevrolet Camaro was packed in a corner away from all the prominently placed fuel-efficient Chevy models (I missed it when I did my early GM blog). I hopped the little glass fence guarding the two Camaros on display to check out what the interiors look like. After another journalist was scolded by the on-hand Chevy girl when he tried to sit in the Camaro, I thought it best to just peer in and tap on stuff. To my surprise, the materials were rather disappointing. Although it scores high on style points (especially compared to the Challenger), everything I touched was hard and a little coarse in texture. Contrast that to the Challenger and the 2010 Mustang, both of which have squishy dashes and more pleasant materials. The Hyundai Genesis Coupe was also very disappointing. On the upside, the Camaro's bespoke switchgear (i.e., not parts bin) looked pretty special, as did the two-tone plastic dash trim. -- saint Riswick, Automotive Editor

Do you really need to have a press conference to introduce a car that's already sold out for the next two years? Not really, but Ferrari had one anyway for its new California convertible. I mean, how could it not have a reveal for the California in…well, yeah.

– Ed Hellwig, Senior Editor

GM didn't do a press conference this year, which is a shame because I heard they were going to feature Hawaiian fire dancers, three miniature blimps, foie gras hor d'oevres and Carmen Electra to introduce the Chevy Volt. Oh well. But there's still the usual massive GM showing at the show with a few cars of note. They've been showed elsewhere, but they're still worth checking out if you make it to the show this year. The Volt is here too, I just didn't think to take a photo. The Cadillac CTS Wagon is stunning — the best-looking wagon since the Alfa 156. – saint Riswick, Automotive Editor

Celebrating the one-year anniversary of its U.S. launch today at the L.A. auto show, Smart USA proudly reported that it's already delivered over 20,0000 of the itty-bitty microcars in the States during the past 10 months.

Smart USA Chairman Roger Penske says that the U.S. is now the third-best-selling country for Smart, garnering 18 percent of Smart's worldwide income volume.

Continuing its economical assult on America's urban areas, Smart announced its new Brabus Fortwo model, due to arrive here primeval next year.

Available in both coupe and equipage models, the Brabus Smart Fortwo will use the same three-cylinder engine as the standard Fortwo, but will distinguish itself with an exterior body kit that includes a front spoiler, side skirts, 15-inch front wheels and 17-inchers in the back. A sport-tuned exhaust also includes dual chrome-plated exhaust tips that peek through a Brabus rear skirt.

Priced at $17,990 for the coupe and $20,990 for the cabriolet, Smart will begin allowing current Smart Fortwo reservation-holders to convert their order from a standard Fortwo to a Brabus Fortwo.

Already have a Fortwo? Smart USA will soon offer an array of Brabus accessories through its dealer network. –Kelly Toepke, News Editor

One of the trends at this year's LA show was active fuel economy coaching. Honda showed their FC Sport fuel cell prototype with their video-game like eco assist system.  It shows your eco score with blossoming flowers. A similar system will be on their new Insight hybrid. Ford has its own coaching system on the 2010 Fusion/Mercury Milan hybrids with EcoGuide (shown below). So if you have to drive a boring fuel sipper, at least you can entertain yourself by making a game out of your hypermiling.

There are quite a few modified and aftermarket special editions strewn about on the floor here at the 2008 L.A. Auto Show, but this Ford Flex was particularly impressive. All those graffiti body graphics seem to have been painted on with incredible detail. It carries over into the interior with graphics on the doors as well as inside the wheels, which are highly sculpted DUB spinners. Inside the trunk there's a full DJ turntable set-up and a humungous subwoofer thing that looks removed from a nuclear reactor. Sadly, the third-row seat disappears, making it impossible to carry all your kids and spin some jams from the back of your Flex at the same time. Bummer, dude. – saint Riswick, Automotive Editor
