2014 LA Auto Show is a great success starting from the press day that we attended to the continuations of our coverage.  Even before the show starts, an influx of news and information was updating the media community and the graphics and contents included are simply modern and valuable.  Then the show management is so well organized that we found little problems to navigate around the registration and show floor.  Once you start to smell the new car aromas, there are back to back car debuts or press conference as well as activities that will keep all busy from the start to the end.  Many VIPs and companies executives made appearances and pitching their latest and greatest.  It's like a media fireworks that last from day start to day end.  We witnessed many of the awesome new cars from the top manufacturers.  Hydrogen Fuel Cell is the new hybrid replacement as the crowd darling.  They are finally here in a massive way.  Luxury cars are upgraded with even more forward thinking niceties, and muscle cars added with more power and efficiency.  Also many new models were unveiled during the press day and are available for purchase in early or mid part of 2015.  That means the people who are interested in getting a new car, and see what are coming down the pike and make an informed decision on buy or will buy.  Overall, 2014 LA Auto Show is definitely a must-go for the car enthusiasts and potential car buyers.



Here we have the highlights of many "latest and greatest" cars according to the manufacturers' representatives.  They were eager to show case what are coming to stores and what we can dream of.  Of course, we are eager to show them to you many of them that are not in your local car showrooms yet, and virtually bring you tot the future...

Top Of The Line Wheels at #SEMA2014 Part 1 #saviniwheels #esmwheels

Las Vegas, NV, by Py Pai - At the 2014 SEMA show, we mainly focus on the wheels department of the show, because they are our bread and butter contents associations and the most advanced adopter of lifestyle marketing.  Through the rows of metals all constricted in a round shape configuration, there lies the arts and design convergence.  

Creating a unique design that satisfies both the engineering intrinsic requirements and the highly visible and fiercely judged aesthetics, of course, is not an easy feast.  Among all the car parts and accessories, this is one on the top billing of the most challenging creation department.  No wonder that the lifestyle concept is easily instilled in this segment of the hard metal auto world.  It's appealing to both sides of the brain and only one can be "the one" in the eyes of the beholders.

Stunning and Rare Cars from 2014 #SEMA !! (70 Pictures!)

2015 White BMW i8 in 2Crave Booth in SEMA 2014

 Las Vegas, NV, by Py Pai - SEMA is a major showcase event of all things about cars.  Even though its moniker is for after market parts, where else is a better place to show how the parts can fit the car with beauty, strength, and innovation than the largest in the states, SEMA.  Many vendors brought in SEMA worthy cars to both the show floor shiny and spotlighted, or outside on the convention center driveway, where they are lined up bumper to bumper.

It is not enough just to bring a ultra luxury car, like a Lamborghini, or Ferrari, in their stock condition.  There are too many of them already.  One has to make it unique and different, or eye-arresting, or it's a rare to the rarest prize model. Anything below this threshold is bound to be skimmed over.

Here are some cases in point for this year's 2014 SEMA show...  At the 2Crave booth, they brought in a white 2015 BMW i8 to the show.  People just cannot stop looking at it, taking pictures of it, and trying very hard to refrain themselves to get inside and get a first hand feel of it.  It's just simply a art and technology coming together beautifully.

Just like the promotional models in the same field, cars need to have that high attention demand to attract traffic and eye balls and press-coverage to achieve their best marketing effects.  Therefore, SEMA is always a treat of these double awesome promotional effects that reward attendees much more than just product knowledge acquisition, or first hand tactile evaluation of real products.

Here we have gathered some of the very eye-catching cars from the 2014 SEMA show.  They are in the random order, because we were wandering across different halls through out the show.  Each vendor definitely has a different approach to what they think are cool, unique or rare, or simply awesome.  Now I share with you some of them here in the full article with more than 70 pictures of them.   Definitely check out future articles for more exciting coverage of more cars and more products at the 2014 SEMA!
