Hinrichs said Ford's sales of the Fusion are up 20 percent so far this year and that the automaker has increased its profits and market share in states on both U.S. coasts. Los Angeles is the Ford Edge's biggest market so it made sense to hold the big reveal there.

WATCH: Honda Press Conference at 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show

AmericaJR.com's Jason Rzucidlo reports from inside the Los Angeles Convention Center for the 2013 L.A. Auto Show. Watch as Honda shows off its new FCEV Concept. You'll hear remarks from Tetsuo Iwamura, President & CEO of American Honda Motor Co. and from Mike Accavitti, Senior V.P. of Automotive Operations for American Honda Motor Co. The FCEV Concept is a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle with a driving range of more than 300 miles. It features a 60 percent improvement from the FCX Clarity that is currently being offered by Honda. The automaker also mentioned the California Fuel Cell Partnership and the H2USA Federal Program to highlight the growth in infrastructure.

Ford debuts the Edge Concept at 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show By Jason Rzucidlo

Last year, Dearborn-based Ford Motor Co. held a big event outside the STAPLES Center with Rally driver Ken Block to introduce the 2014 Ford Fiesta and smoke was going everywhere. This year, the automaker scaled down its press conference at this year’s 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show. It introduced the Ford Edge Concept to the media inside the convention center. "Nationwide, Edge is outpacing its best and first full year of sales," said Joe Hinrichs, Ford Motor Co.'s Executive Vice President of The Americas. "Ford already offers more vehicles with automated technologies than any other manufacturer with features such as adaptive cruise control, park assist and a lane-keeping system."

WATCH: Toyota Press Conference at 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show

AmericaJR.com's Jason Rzucidlo reports from inside the Los Angeles Convention Center for the 2013 L.A. Auto Show. You'll hear remarks from Bob Carter, Toyota's Senior Vice President of Automotive Operations and Chuck Gulash, Director of Toyota's Collaborative Research Center in Ann Arbor, Mich. The automaker took a different approach during its press conference. They talked about teen driving safety instead of revealing a new vehicle. One in 10 fatal accidents in 2012 were driver distraction affected, according to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Most members of the media were expecting to see Toyota's new Fuel Cell Vehicle, the FCV Concept, but that didn't happen.

Honda shows off FCEV Concept at 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show By Jason Rzucidlo

I really enjoyed the Honda press conference at the 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show. Someone accidentally pulled the covers off the new FCEV Concept before they were supposed to. It began with water falling from the ceiling to signify that H2O is the only byproduct of a hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle. Then, a song started playing with the words, "It's a New Beginning, It's a Brand New Day." American Honda Motor Co. President and CEO Tetsuo Iwamura later joked, "Ladies and Gentlemen, I'm pleased to introduce the official grand debut of the Honda FCEV Concept." It is going to have a driving range of 300 miles, a 60 percent improvement from the FCX Clarity that Honda currently offers.

WATCH: Hyundai Press Conference at 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show

AmericaJR.com's Jason Rzucidlo reports from inside the Los Angeles Convention Center for the 2013 L.A. Auto Show.

You'll hear from John Krafcik, President and CEO of Hyundai Motor America; Mike O'Brien, Vice President of Product and Corporate Planning; and Scott Margason, Director of Product Planning. The new Tucson FCEV will be available for lease with $2,999 down and a $499 per month payment. It will come with unlimited free hydrogen refueling and at your service valet maintenance. Look for the 2015 Tucson FCEV to hit Hyundai showrooms in Spring 2014.

Toyota discusses teen driving safety at 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show By Jason Rzucidlo

The big news out of the Los Angeles Auto Show was going to be the fact that three automakers showed off hydrogen fuel cell vehicles--Honda, Hyundai and Toyota. That all went according to plan until the Toyota press conference. Many of us in the media were expecting to see their new FCV Concept, but that didn't happen here. It was no where to be found. Apparently, there was only one prototype made and it was shown at the Tokyo Motor Show, which was going on simultaneously. Instead, the automaker chose to devote its 25-minute press conference to talking about teen driving safety.

The 2014 Honda Accord was named the winner of the 2014 Green Car of the Year Award by the Green Car Journal. The announcement was made by Ron Cogan, the magazine's editor and publisher, on the second press day of the 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show. The 2014 Accord also comes in a hybrid model achieving 50 mpg highway and a plug-in model reaching 115 MPGe, the highest of any mid-size hybrid sedan in the country. It surpassed the other four finalists for the award: the Audi A6 TDI, BMW 328d, Mazda3 and the Toyota Corolla. All models must be on sale by Jan. 1 to be eligible for the award.

Hyundai introduces Tucson FCEV and Veloster Turbo R Spec at 2013 L.A. Auto Show By Jason Rzucidlo

Honda was the first to show its FCEV Concept sedan at the 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show, which will be coming to the U.S. in 2015. Then, Hyundai Motor America was the second automaker to reveal a hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle at the auto show. The automaker debuted its Tucson FCEV crossover, which will be in U.S. showrooms this Spring. It is expected to have a driving range of 300 miles. A hydrogen vehicle can be refueled in two or three minutes just like a gasoline-powered vehicle. Instead of simply storing energy like the Chevrolet Volt or the Nissan Leaf, a fuel cell vehicle uses the hydrogen to make energy onboard.

It looks very futuristic in design with deep uppercuts and intersections to create Infiniti's "dual wave" effect. The Q30 Concept was designed by Formula One Champion Sebastian Vettel. The interior features a two-tone mix of crème and bronze leather. This new crossover was inspired by Infiniti’s Etherea, Essence, and Emerge-e concept vehicles.

WATCH: Interview with Chevrolet's Otie McKinley about the 2015 Colorado pickup

AmericaJR.com's Jason Rzucidlo spoke one-on-one with Otie McKinley, Chevrolet Assistant Communication Manager. The 2015 Chevrolet Colorado is redesigned from the ground up. The Detroit-based automaker returns to the midsize truck segment after abandoning it in August 2012. The 2015 Colorado comes with a choice of three different powertrains: 2.5-liter, 4-cylinder; 3.6-liter, V6; and a 2.8-liter, turbo diesel. This new truck was designed to be the fuel economy leader, however exact figures were not given. Pricing has not yet been announced either.

Volvo debuts the 2015 V60 sportswagon at 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show By Jason Rzucidlo

While some automakers showed off beefier engines with more horsepower and torque, Volvo introduced a new line of four-cylinder, Drive-E powertrains at the 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show. They will produce less emissions than a V6 or V8 engine. The 2015 Volvo V60 will come with one of those 2.0-liter, Drive-E engines producing 240 hp and 258 lb-ft. of torque. It will go from zero to 60 mph in just 6.1 seconds. The new V60 sportswagon will achieve a combined 29 mpg, according to Volvo.

It was teased as a linchpin for the Detroit-based automaker. The new Colorado will come with a choice of three engine types: a 2.5-liter, four-cylinder; a 3.6-liter, V6 motor; and a 2.8-liter, four-cylinder turbodiesel (in its second year).

The 2015 K900 is built on the same platform as the Hyundai Genesis and the Equus, because Hyundai owns nearly 33 percent of KIA Motors.

First drive of the 2015 BMW i3 electric sedan at 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show By Jason Rzucidlo

I had the rare opportunity to test drive a 2015 BMW i3 during the press days of the 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show. This modernistic electric sedan was definitely turning heads on the streets of downtown Los Angeles. I really like the new BMW i3 electric sedan for many reasons. First, the design inside and out. Secondly, the drive is smooth and quick to accelerate. Third, it reduces our footprint on foreign oil since it is an EV. However, if you take your foot off the gas pedal, the vehicle automatically begins to slow down and regenerate power. Coasting is not possible in the BMW i3 like you would be able to do in a gasoline-powered vehicle.

REVIEW: My Final Wrap-Up of the 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show By Jason Rzucidlo

I really enjoyed this year's press preview of the 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show. When Senior Communications Director Brendan Flynn told me the organizers changed everything, I didn't know what to expect. I would like to give the entire L.A. Auto Show team a high five for an outstanding job. First, I liked how virtually every square inch of the convention center was used to display vehicles. There were cars in places I never thought a car could fit. Second, I liked how all of the press conferences were grouped--the first half of the day in the South Hall, with the rest in the West Hall. Finally, I enjoyed all of the new parties that were offered for the media.

Foresight Research Study: LA Auto Show is a Walkin', Talkin', Animated Brochure for Car Buyers

Auto Show season is officially in full swing, and results from the Foresight Research Los Angeles Auto Show research report reveal that the shows are a lot more than an entertainment venue for gearheads and car buffs. In fact, it is a life-sized, animated brochure for new car and truck buyers. According to the Los Angeles Auto Show study, experts at Foresight Research (www.foresightresearch.com) say that over one-quarter of the people who went to the Los Angeles show last year purchased a car since then.
