Fuel-Friendly is the Theme at the Los Angeles Auto Show

Honda unveils its FC Sport fuel cell concept car as the Los Angeles Auto Show opens for press previews at the Los Angeles Convention Center on November 18, 2008 in Los Angeles, California. Against a backdrop of economic upheaval, General Motors Corp. and Chrysler LLC will be virtual no-shows with no senior executives in attendance nor holding any press conferences as they concentrate on lobbying for federal bailouts. Ford Motor Co. will be the only big American auto maker to have a significant presence at the annual event and compete with participating foreign car makers. The first major North American auto show of the season opens to the public on November 21 and continues through November 30. (Getty Images)
