" Usually even-numbered years of the Paris auto show are considered off-years (especially since the demise of the even-numbered year British national show) compared to odd-numbered years that have Frankfurt and Tokyo. While Frankfurt still reigns supreme as the largest industry show, the lessening in importance of the Tokyo show is causing a shift of emphasis back to Paris this year and the Los Angeles Auto Show, which has scheduled its press days for November 17-18, about 6 weeks after the French show. Paris is expected to be a blockbuster with a new entry from Lotus, while Bentley will be showing the first major retool of the Continental GT. From Germany comes a new Passat and a face lifted Mercedes CLS. And the home teams will have an all-new Peugeot 508 sedan and Renault Latitude. Meanwhile, Los Angeles is promising 20 world debuts, including two vehicles from Nissan (one of them the Quest minivan) and the U.S. version of the Fiat 500.
