No LA Autoshow for GM?

.. I kinda doubt that this means there will be no cars on display.. but maybe no ride and drive... or other press related things...

GM is canceling press events set for next week at the Los Angeles Auto Show to focus instead on discussing new models at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit in January, a spokesman, Scott Fosgard, said today.

Bah.. more news... its not so bad now...

Quote:

Spokesman Scott Fosgard says GM planned to unveil a new Buick model, and Vice Chairman Bob Lutz was going to attend the show's media previews Nov. 19 and 20.

But Fosgard said Tuesday the new model will be unveiled at the Detroit auto show in January, and no executives will travel to Los Angeles.

He says the new model could get lost in the news about GM's cash crisis and efforts to get government aid. GM also wants to unveil the Buick in Detroit to get more exposure to Chinese journalists. Buick is a hot-selling product in China.

GM will still have a display at the Los Angeles show. The show is open to the public Nov. 21-30.

This should probably be moved over to the general auto section now....

Scott did say they will be there just for show. But you cannot sit in them...

Wonder how much it costs to put on a press event for an autoshow.

General Motors' ongoing financial problems mean that the company Gulfstream won't be shuttling executives to the LA Auto Show next week.

After canceling plans to unveil the new Buick LaCrosse and the production version of the Cadillac CTS coupe, it became clear that there really wasn't anything else to discuss in LA.

As a result, there won't be a GM press conference at the show.
