It’s just about “the most wonderful time of the year…” No, I’m not talking about the holiday season and all the feasting, gifts, and celebrations that take place.

I’m talking about “AUTO SHOW SEASON,” when the auto industry officially rolls out their new lines for the upcoming year.  (It’s a very special time for those of us who long for that new car smell.)

The big show this year is the Los Angeles Auto Show taking place this coming November 22nd. Officially billed as “the one stop shop to comparison shop,” the LA Auto Show will present for your review over 1,000 cars, trucks, and SUVs.

(In case you were wondering, Motor City hasn’t taken a pit stop – they held their 2019 show back in January, with their 2020 edition taking place next June.)

According to Mpower, the top automotive trends you can expect to see play out in 2020 include:

  1. Continued growth in Electrification – a significant expansion of hybrids and fully electric vehicles.
  2. Growing presence of start-up car companies – many are following in Tesla’s footsteps, including Rivian – a California startup that just landed $700 Million in funding from Amazon.
    New and Improved Digital Platforms – the family car continues to evolve into even more of a hub for internet access and communications.
  3. New and Improved Digital Platforms – the family car continues to evolve into even more of a hub for internet access and communications.

One thing’s for sure – 2020 looks to be an exciting time for motor-heads of all ages.
