Behind the Scenes with Kelley Blue Book at The Los Angeles Auto Show

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 30, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --  With more than 50 vehicles debuting at the Los Angeles Auto Show, the latest advancements in automotive technology and design are sure to find their way into driveways across the country very soon. Micah Muzio, editor for the car-shopping website Kelley Blue Book, www.kbb.com, provides a wrap-up of what was hot from the first auto show of the 2012 season.

2013 Infiniti JX

• As a fresh alternative to the many flavors of vanilla currently dominating the luxury crossover segment, the stylish Infiniti JX is designed to excel in the areas that luxury crossover buyers desire most – interior flexibility and roominess, safety, and advanced hospitality features.  The JX offers real 3-row utility, plus all the premium features, performance and innovations that Infiniti is known for worldwide.  

2012 Hyundai Azera

• This flagship Fluidic Sculpture sedan also features a more powerful Lambda II 3.3-liter GDI engine, six-speed transmission, best-in-class combined fuel economy of 23 miles per gallon and a wide range of advanced safety equipment. The 2012 Azera represents a modern approach to the traditional large sedan segment by using an advanced powertrain, emotional design and luxury features offered with Hyundai's strong value proposition.

2013 Lincoln MKS

• Better handling, increased power, improved fuel efficiency, additional standard equipment, more refinement and new technologies that help drivers reduce accident risks provide luxury customers with important new reasons to consider Lincoln and its flagship sedan, the new MKS.  The full-size Lincoln MKS sports an updated, sleeker style for 2013 that headlines a range of improvements that match or exceed more expensive luxury-class contenders.

Subaru BRZ Concept STI

• Subaru's concept car represents the next step in lightweight performance sports cars combined with the race-bred tuning of Subaru Technica International (STI). The first BRZ concept car to be shown with bodywork, the Concept STI strongly hints at the styling of the production BRZ and features unique STI performance features. The first RWD Subaru, the production Subaru BRZ will begin production in spring 2012 as the only mass-produced front-engine, Boxer engine rear-wheel drive sports car in the world.
