The Great Depression that was a pall on last year’s LA Auto Show has been lifted and replaced by some real optimism and some terrific new models and concepts.  I’ll put up as many pictures as I can on this post (November 17) and I’ll do another one tomorrow (November 18).

The 2011 Aston Martin Rapide is a beautiful sight. I've already seen a few running around LA. It's an instant classic.

The "baby" Aston Martin Vantage ditches its V8 in favor of the V12 from the DB9. I hear a call from the producers of Entourage now.

The 2012 (I think) Audi A7 Sportsback 4-door "coupe" is a looker, no matter what angle.

The side/rear view of the A7 looks great!

The A7's array of LED running lights is wonderful.

Fantastic new MINI Countryman Commercial

This is the first ad from MINI for the new Countryman SUV.  It’s really a great, fun ride.  MINI is pitching the Countryman to young families as an alternative to a gigantic SUV that couples usually get with a first baby.  It’s also being pitched to Generation Y who are just out to have fun with friends.  I’m not sure how well four adults will fit in the Countryman, but everyone looks like they have room in the commercial (of course).
