Ralph declares to be a professional of many motor shows, so what does he feel needs to modification to keep shows fresh? “We all checked out about vehicles on the internet as well as do our research study there, however the most important thing is still being able to get a great look at as well as sit in a new vehicle – as well as to get a great experience from the brand I may buy from.”
He likewise wishes to drive his next car, which is likely to be an EV, so he was interested to hear of plans for next April’s new York motor show to enable drivers to test drive EVs inside the show halls – UK organisers take note.
So which of the vehicles at LA did Ralph as well as George like best?
