The 2016-2017 North American show season will officially kick off this week with the opening of the LA Auto Show. Carmakers from around the world will bring their latest and greatest design concepts and production cars to show off for the Southern California crowd.

Although the concepts exhibited at the show represent a glimpse into the future of the automotive industry, other, more production-ready vehicles will give the public a chance to see what's soon headed to their dealer's showrooms.

Here just some of the cars we are looking forward to seeing.

The show opens to the public on Friday and will run until Nov. 27 at the Los Angeles Convention Center
