LA Motor Show 2013 preview guide

According to the show's organisers, the 2013 LA Motor Show is the 'mother of all shows' - how wonderfully American! It runs from 20 November to 1 December at the Los Angeles Convention Center, and although it's not the biggest motor show on Earth, it does boast a fair number of world debuts and 'first reveals' – many of which we’ve rounded up in the following gallery. Tickets cost $10 (£6.22) during the week and $12 (£7.47) at weekends.

New Lexus GS F Sport (2012) revealed

Lexus GS F Sport (2012) revealed ahead of SEMA debut Is middle age taking over or are Lexus cars getting better looking? Because the new Lexus GS F Sport, just revealed ahead of its SEMA debut, is really rather appealing. Already much sharper looking in its latest iteration, the Lexus GS almost turns back in to the LF-Gh Concept - which heralded the arrival of the 2012 Lexus GS – with the F Sport bits tagged on.

Suzuki Regina, Q-concept, Swift EV (2011) first pictures

Suzuki is showing its vision for an aerodynamic city car at the 2011 Tokyo auto show: the regally named Regina. It's pitched as a radical 'next-generation global compact car', which sounds suspiciously as if it could have production intent. The new Suzuki Regina is all about minimalism: it weighs just 730kg, so it only requires a small capacity petrol engine, which brings emissions down to 70g/km and appetite for unleaded at a rate of 90mpg.
