LA Auto Show starts Friday
At the end of a week in which the American auto industry didn’t get the economic help it sought from Washington, the Los Angeles Auto Show starts Friday.
Detroit’s meltdown doesn’t mean foreign auto-makers are about to cash in. Chris Hosford is a North American vice president for Korean automaker Hyundai.
Chris Hosford: “When 3 major industrial players in the United States – General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler – suffer, the American economy suffers. When the American economy suffers, it’s bad for all of the businesses, including a business like Hyundai. We really want what’s good for the American economy, and we believe that a healthy American auto industry is part of that.”
The LA Auto Show continues through the Sunday after Thanksgiving at the downtown Los Angeles Convention Center. Tickets are $10. Children 12 and younger get in free if they’re with an adult.
