The introduction of the Infiniti EX35, particularly with its wild camera set up would seem to be a more logical candidate. (No it, its not a platform mate of the Rogue, though Nissan's 2nd case of simultaneously introducing similarly sized, yet unrelated crossover models again invites such confusion)

That the STi, Evo X and the GT-R all made NA debuts yet none are mentioned here baffles me unless there is some rule of eligibility I'm aware of that knocks them out.

The fact that there will actually be a production version of the Space Up! Blue (diesel powered) places it much higher on my list for consideration than say, that ridiculous Tahoe mild-brid. On the latter, wouldn't have made sense to add the hybrid machinery to one of the two smaller V-8 in the GM truck stable?

The Mini Clubman is another candidate for the list.]]>Nov 16th 2007 8:42PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/16/la-2007-autoblog-picks-the-top-5-world-debuts-video/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/16/la-2007-autoblog-picks-the-top-5-world-debuts-video/. GT-R
. M3
. Evo
. Sti (at least now we now it will be a hatchback instead of the sedan some had hoped for and the choice between Evo and Sti is quite simple)
. Hyundai Genesis Coupe

But, as they limited it to world debuts, that would only leave the Hyundai.
I guess LA still gets stuck without all the really cool sporty car world debuts, and gets stuck with the enviro-friendly and truckish world debuts.]]>Nov 16th 2007 9:56PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/16/la-2007-autoblog-picks-the-top-5-world-debuts-video/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/16/la-2007-autoblog-picks-the-top-5-world-debuts-video/
Also the 6.0L has considerably more low end torque than the 5.3l, this would allow it to remain in 4cyl mode longer without firing up all 8cyl.]]>Nov 16th 2007 10:26PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/16/la-2007-autoblog-picks-the-top-5-world-debuts-video/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/16/la-2007-autoblog-picks-the-top-5-world-debuts-video/Nov 16th 2007 9:15PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/16/la-2007-autoblog-picks-the-top-5-world-debuts-video/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/16/la-2007-autoblog-picks-the-top-5-world-debuts-video/

I'll make sure to ask the good folks at Hyundai how to best pronounce their name. Anybody have their own top 5?]]>Nov 16th 2007 10:00PM
