New models unveiled at the LA Auto Show

The 2017 Fiat 124 Spider made its debut at the LA Auto Show.

2017 Fiat 124 Spider: The new Mazda Miata made a big splash earlier this year and now the 124 Spider brings a different but familiar twist on the roadster. Fiat partnered with Mazda so the cars share the same platform and interior design, but that’s where the similarities end. The 124 has a 160-horsepower 1.4-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder with 184 lb.-ft. of torque. That bests the Miata, but the 124 also weighs more, so it’s a trade-off.

This year’s Los Angeles Auto Show was filled with big debuts that ran the gamut from expensive sports cars to economical sedans. Here are some of the standouts that had everyone talking and will be finding their way to a driveway near you in the coming months.
