Like the city itself, the Los Angeles Auto Show is both green and exotic at once. It's where environmentally friendly commuter cars and financially prohibitive supercars enjoy equal respect. It's also an increasingly important auto show all around. For 2008, we're excited to see new versions of the Nissan Z and Mazda3, a revised Ford Mustang, and new twists like the Infiniti G37 Convertible and Cadillac CTS Coupe.

As the last-chance big show of the season, the New York Auto Show always attracts a number of world and North American debuts. For example, the 2008 edition played host to the worldwide introductions of cars like the Acura TSX, Nissan Maxima and Pontiac Solstice Coupe. The World Car of the Year awards are also announced in New York, with the Honda Fit-fighting Mazda2 (not yet available in the U.S.) taking home the title in 2008.

In terms of floor space, the Chicago Auto Show is actually the largest of the country's big four. It's also become a popular venue for manufacturers to introduce larger vehicles like SUVs (crossovers, nowadays) and pickups. The Chevy Traverse and Hummer H3T both debuted at the 2008 Chicago Auto Show, for instance, alongside heavily revised versions of cars like the Acura RL and Hyundai Sonata.

The Detroit Auto Show is also known by the loftier label of North American International Auto Show. Whatever you call it, the show remains among the biggest and most important in the world. The domestic manufacturers are usually the stars of the show that takes place in their own backyard, but two of the most anticipated happenings scheduled for 2009 are the unveiling of the next-gen Toyota Prius and the return of the Honda Insight hybrid.
