According to Wikipedia
“The Los Angeles Auto Show is an annual auto show that takes place at the Los Angeles Convention Center in Los Angeles, California. The show has been held annually since 1907. The first show took place at Morley's Skating Rink in downtown Los Angeles, just four blocks from the current Convention Center location.
The show traditionally took place in early January, but in 2006 was moved to November so as not to be overshadowed by the North American International Auto Show. That year, one show was held in January and another in November, the latter being dubbed the "100 Year Anniversary" show. The Los Angeles show is only the second International Auto Show in the United States to be officially recognized by the Organisation Internationale des Constructeurs d'Automobiles, with the first recognized show in November 2006. With a special spot on the international calendar, it is likely that the LA show will become host to more vehicle introductions than before.”
Chris Martin over at the Honda Booth is showing us the best that Honda has to offer at the 2006 LA Auto Show. Honda has always used their concepts to try out certain design features that are incorporated into their future cars. The point of a concept is to see how things work and also to see peoples perception of new things. The LA auto show is the perfect place to show off new designs in the form of concepts because so many of differing opinions attend the show.
The Honda remix is the first that Chris shows us. The Honda remix has many smooth lines punctuated by geometric shapes. The car is covered(literally) in chrome which allows it to look like a very streamlined car while at the same time this two do sports car has a hatch giving off the idea that you can have fun with it and drive it normally. Next Chris shows us the Honda step bus concept.
The Honda Step Bus Concept is a mid engined car that has a feel of a mix between a grand caravan and a scion xB. The car has a small exterior but a spacious interior sporting many different features. The front dash has a bulletin board style that allows you to move different pieces of the dash around to suit your liking.
