L.A. Auto Show for The Big Money

Here's my take on the L.A. Auto Show for Slate's new site The Big Money. The event actually wasn't as depressing as I thought it would be--but it was certainly depressing (although on balance not as bad as the pre-meltdown New York Auto Show back in March). Main story was that Ford, with more money in the bank than GM and Chrysler, and with more Green cars, rolled out a more dramatic presence. Check back later for pictures from the show.
