The Los Angeles Auto Show this year features more than fifty global and North American debuts plus more than a thousand cars, trucks and whatever else keeps the freeways and streets gridlocked here in Los Angeles 24x7.
This year’s show seemed a lot more low-key to us than previous years. What with the economy still on the rebound, there just seem to be a lot fewer jaw-dropping concepts this year. The economy, combined with the fact that the Frankfurt show just passed and the Detroit show is just around the corner, makes the LA show all about what you can drive now, or in the next few months. Here are our top picks from the show.
Five amazing, clean technologies that will set us free, in this month's energy-focused issue. Also: how to build a better bomb detector, the robotic toys that are raising your children, a human catapult, the world's smallest arcade, and much more.

I like all these cars!! If I do get one for Christmas, most likely it will say on the bottom, " Manufactored by Matel from the country of China and mine will be
painted with lead paint to boot. ;)
These cars really do look cool!
These cars are the best of what we could be seeing in a few years time on our roads.The land rover DC13 disappointed me though...
