LOS ANGELES, July 29, 2010 - Today, the Los Angeles Auto Show announced that more than 20 World Debuts

approximately 40.

This year's show will feature a greater number of significant World
Debuts than ever before. Because the unveilings are coming from manufacturers
in Europe and Asia, in addition to the U.S., more international media are
expected to attend.
"The growing global significance of the LA show is clearly demonstrated
by the number and importance of the debuts," said Andy Fuzesi, general
manager, LA Auto Show.
In addition to more debuts, the auto industry's continued economic
recovery has spurred greater participation and engagement from manufacturers
at the show. Nissan and Infiniti are returning with a major presence after a
one-year break from auto shows. Several significant World Debuts are expected
from Nissan including the all-new Quest minivan, as well as, important news
about the much anticipated all-electric Leaf. Also, Fiat is returning to the
U.S. after almost a 27-year hiatus and will feature its new vehicle for the
U.S. market, the Fiat 500-Cinquecento.
This year's show also marks the long awaited arrival of the electric car
era. After years of preparation and debate, final-production electric
vehicles will be for sale to the general public. The show will feature the
highly anticipated, first-to-market, Chevrolet Volt and Nissan Leaf, as well
as a number of other electric vehicles coming in 2011. Vehicle news will also
be accompanied by critical infrastructure announcements that make electric
transportation increasingly more viable.
The LA Auto Show will provide a comprehensive glimpse of the industry's
present and future as the industry transforms to meet unprecedented changes
in economic conditions, environmental factors and changing consumer
preferences. The result is a broad range of ground-breaking vehicles that
cover the entire spectrum from high-end sports cars and wild green concepts
to minivans and sedans. And, virtually every debut features advanced
technologies in fuel economy, safety and telematics.
