LA Motor Show 2015: new cars A-to-Z 

Fiat 124 Spider 

It seems increasingly likely that Fiat will debut its new MX-5 based 124 Spider roadster at the LA show. Previous spyshots have shown that it gets a bold new exterior, with a longer bonnet and revised front and rear-ends. Engines are likely to be of the turbocharged variety, unlike the Mazda. 

Infiniti QX30

We've just driven the standard Q30 hatch, but now Infiniti will be launching a jacked-up version called the QX30 based on the underpinnings of the Mercedes GLA. It'll be built in Sunderland in Nissan's plant alongside the Q30, and was shown at Geneva as a concept.

Lexus LF LC

Nothing is confirmed yet, but given that we've known Lexus is building a flagship coupe for a year now and we've recently seen spyshots of a more production-ready LF LC, there's a good chance we could be seeing the finished article at LA. We'll have to wait to find out more info about the BMW 6-Series rival.

Mercedes GLS

Merc's largest SUV - the GL-Class - is set for a revamp and rebrand as it becomes the GLS to fit in with the new Mercedes naming strategy. Leaked images show tweaked exterior styling, while we can also expect more up-to-date cabin tech and eventually a new plug-in hybrid offering.

Porsche Cayman GT4 Clubsport

Porsche confirmed we'd be seeing a hardcore Clubsport version of the already pretty racy Cayman GT4 at LA this year. It's strictly a track-only car for race homologation developed by Porsche Motorsport, but it will bring along a dual-clutch gearbox for the first time.

Range Rover Evoque Convertible

We've known about it for some time and seen a number of spyshots, but Land Rover will be launching it's new Evoque Convertible at the 2015 LA show. Adding a folding fabric soft top to the mix, the roofless SUV is set to go on sale in spring next year.
