Automakers from all over the world are scheduled to have showcases in LA, but don’t expect a fleet of Kia Rios and Toyota Siennas to flood the showroom. The auto show confirmed today that over 63 percent of the 30 debuting vehicles will be luxury and performance vehicles.

Audi looks to be the frontrunner for 2014’s showstealer, with three global debuts and eight total unveilings. One entrant is predicted to be a four-door concept that will flaunt Audi’s new design language and preview a potential A9 flagship.

The suped-up Chrysler 300 SRT may be headed for pasture, but the revamped and refreshed Chrysler 300 and 300 C have confirmed appearances at the auto show, as has the new Cadillac ATS-V.

Land Rover has arranged the North American introduction of its new Discovery Sport crossover as well. On the other end of the spectrum, the MINI hardtop four-door and Superleggera concept are expected to be displayed.

Additionally, BMW will unmask convertible versions of the 228i and M235i, and it will do so alongside the world debuts of two new vehicles.

News models from Chevrolet (Corvette ZR1, anybody?), Mercedes, Mazda, Scion, Lexus, Volkswagen, and Porsche are slated to appear at the ceremony, and the attached Connected Car Expo will serve as an exhibit for the latest in groundbreaking automotive tech.

Apple CarPlay vs. Android Auto
Android Auto in a car.

Apple and Google don't need to build cars -- there are enough local and foreign manufacturers that fill that role well. Instead, these two tech giants are excellent at building ecosystems and designing hardware that fits in your hand. The merging of the two -- your smartphone and your car -- was only inevitable.

Enter Android Auto and CarPlay. These two platforms aim to bring your touchy media, messages, and navigation to tablet-sized screens installed in the latest cars. Both mostly achieve the same purpose in their own unique way. But what makes them different? What makes them similar? Even more, which one is better?

Plug-in hybrids are becoming more popular. Why? And will it continue?
Kia Niro EV Charging Port

There's a lot of talk about the idea that the growth in electric car sales has kind of slowed a little. It's not all that surprising -- EVs are still expensive, early adopters all have one by now, and they're still new enough to where there aren't too many ultra-affordable used EVs available. But plenty of people still want a greener vehicle, and that has given rise to an explosion in hybrid vehicle sales.

That's especially true of plug-in hybrid vehicles, which can be charged like an EV and driven in all-electric mode for short distances, and have a gas engine as a backup for longer distances or to be used in combination with electric mode for more efficient driving.

The survey of 23,000 EV drivers worldwide found that only 1% would return to a petrol or diesel car, while 4% would opt for a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) if they had to replace their car.
