What it is: Diversity matters. An automotive print product or Web site largely based on new-vehicle reviews is missing an enormous readership. Auto Know gives us the latitude to explore fantastic auto-related stories outside the realm of mere reviews. Whether it’s about how surround sound is engineered into a vehicle, European cars that will land on our shores, or knowing when it’s time to throw in the towel on your old beater, Auto Know is the perfect tool to capture new readers. . . with solid, interesting stories.

Description

Strict emissions standards in the state of California and an elevated West Coast eco-consciousness typically turn November’s Los Angeles Auto Show into the premier showcase for electrified vehicles.
But during this time of cleaner burning engines, low fuel prices and budget-wary buyers, pricier electrics gave way this year on the L.A. stages to a robust lineup of more affordable and popular small trucks and utility vehicles.
