Orange County International Auto Show 09/22 - 09/25

The Orange County International Auto Show opens today at the Anaheim Convention Center - I'm headed up there in a few minutes for the media preview and will report back later.

One of this year's headlines is that the 2012 Honda CR-V Concept will make it's world debut here!

To quote Honda "The 2012 CR-V Concept strongly hints at the more dynamic and refined look of the upcoming model," said John Mendel, executive vice president of sales for American Honda. "As the best-selling SUV in each of the past four years, the 2012 CR-V promises to build on its highly successful formula with even more style, innovative features and higher fuel economy."

We'll see the final production model revealed in November at the LA Auto Show.

Come check out the latest rides and drive a few, see the schedules at the Orange County International Auto Show site.

Phil Hill - The Life of a Legend

Phil Hill: The Life of a Legend  - new exhibit opens today at the Petersen Automotive Museum

Few motorsports icons command greater respect than Phil Hill, but his accomplishments did not stop with winning auto races. In addition to being the world’s first and only American-born Formula 1 champion, he was a student of automobile history, an accomplished mechanic, a classic car restorer, a skilled photographer, and a family man. Created in collaboration with Phil’s son Derek, the Petersen Automotive Museum’s Phil Hill tribute exhibition will take a revealing look into the life and work of this racing legend interpreted through artifacts ranging from the vehicles he raced to the helmets he wore.
