The 2019 LA Auto Show is this week and it brings with it a whole host of reveals, announcements, and surprises. We will be there to bring you all the news as it happens, as well as getting in-depth with the most important new cars. Even just the cars already slated to be revealed are exciting, let alone any surprises that manufacturers sneak in.

Here are the reveals we’re most excited about this year:

2020 BMW M2 CS Coupe – The ultimate M2, and likely the swan song for this generation. We can’t wait to see the acres of carbon fiber all over this sports car.

2020 Ford Mustang Mach-E – Ford’s first all-electric car will be this Mustang-inspired SUV. We’ve been carefully looking at spy shots and renderings for years, but this week is the big reveal!

2020 Honda CR-V Hybrid – Oh man we are way more excited about this car than we really should be. This is such a huge play for Honda to make by putting one of their received but second fiddle hybrid system into their most popular vehicle.

Mystery Hyundai Plug-in Hybrid SUV – Hyundai has been teasing a new hybrid SUV, and their designs recently have been spectacular. We expect to see this concept continue that trend and closely resemble what arrives at dealers soon.

2020 Karma Revero GT – Karma’s slowly teased SUV is finally making its public bow at the LA show. This brand new vehicle from the electric outfit could make or break the company.

2020 Land Rover Defender – It’s finally here! We are going to poke and prod every inch of the new Landy to see what’s what. Now where are the keys?

2020 Mazda CX-30 – This all new model, which somehow slots between the CX-5 and CX-9 will debut the latest in Mazda’s design direction.

2020 Mini Cooper SE – Mini’s electric car is finally stateside for us to poke and prod, and hopefully clear up some specs with the engineers behind the car.

2020 Porsche Taycan, and Taycan 4S – Porsche’s electric cars in the flesh. We’ve waiting so long, enduring so many sketches and sneak peaks. Let me see the goods in person!

Hyundai isn’t giving up on hydrogen cars, but don’t expect one in your driveway anytime soon
Hydrogen gets a maybe; hybrids get a warning.
Hyundai Ioniq 3 EV

Hydrogen cars have spent years in the same waiting room as flying taxis. They’re always almost here, but no commercially available product exists for interested buyers. So when a Hyundai manager pushed back on the obituary, I was immediately curious.
