The Los Angeles Auto Show opens on January 4, just ahead of the annual, more industry-focused Detroit event.
Though there will be a few new models, one of its main draws will be the Design Challenge. California - and, specifically, the area around LA - plays host to a number of car design studios, many set up by the world's major manufacturers. Ten entrants for this year's competition have been announced.
The theme for this year's competition is "An LA Adventure", which is, say the organisers, "a reflection of the multitude of lifestyle, sporting and cultural activities that are customary for southern California and its residents."
The winner will be announced on January 5 at the Design Los Angeles conference.
