Two of the biggest events on the motoring calendar, the Tokyo Motor Show and the Los Angeles Motor Show, open their doors to the press and public later this month.
Unfortunately, they both start on the same day -- 22 November -- which sort of scuppers your chances of going to both, unless of course you're prepared to undergo the hassle, not to mention the expense, of three long-haul flights.
Luckily, we here at CarSite feel your pain and have prepared a handy guide to all of the exciting, and not-so-exciting, new models you can expect to see at BOTH the LA and Tokyo motor shows. Who says we aren't good to you lot?
So, to have a gander at the cars which will be on display at the LA Motor Show, scroll down. Alternatively, visit our guide to this year's Tokyo Motor Show.
We'll be updating this page as and when more information becomes available.
BMW
BMW will be unveiling its new 4 Series Convertible in LA ahead of the car's March 2014 launch. The 4 Series Convertible is the replacement for the old 3 Series Convertible and features a new three-piece folding roof design. 2.0-litre diesel and petrol units will be available from launch alongside a 3.0-litre petrol straight-six. Also on show will be the BMW i3, the i8 and the 4 Series Coupe.
Cadillac
The new 2015 Cadillac Escalade will be making its debut at the LA Motor Show. The new Escalade is bigger, more luxurious and more efficient than the outgoing model and is powered by an all-new 6.2-litre V8 engine. Cadillac will also be showing its Elmiraj concept which made its debut at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance in August.
Honda
Honda will be unveiling its new FCEV (fuel-cell electric vehicle) concept at this year's LA Motor Show. The new FCEV is due to be launched in the US and Japan in 2015, with European sales following later.
Jaguar
Jaguar's new F-Type Coupe, seen here for the first time, will be making its dynamic debut in LA. Expect details, images and a video to be released on 20 November when the Coupe makes its world debut.
Land Rover
The first long-wheelbase version of the Range Rover for 20 years will be making a simultaneous debut at both the LA Motor Show and the Guanzhou Motor Show in China. Land Rover has lengthened the Ranget by 200mm, giving an extra 140mm of rear legroom.
Mercedes
Mercedes will be unveiling its new S65 AMG, the new twelve-cylinder performance model in the new S-Class range, in LA. No performance figures have been released but it is rumoured that the S65 AMG will produce as much as 621bhp from its 6.0-litre V12 engine. Also on show will be the S63 AMG and the GLA, which made its debut in Frankfurt. Perhaps most excitingly, however, the new SLS AMG Final Edition, the final edition of Merc's gullwing supercar, will be making its debut.
MINI
The new 2014 MINI Hatch will be making simultaneous motor show debuts at both the LA and Tokyo Motor Shows. Based on the new UKL1 platform, the new MINI will be offered with a choice of three- and four-cylinder petrol engines and a diesel and will be both bigger and lighter than the outgoing model.
Nissan
A harder, faster version of the Juke Nismo, the Juke Nismo RS, will be making its world debut in LA. No performance figures have been released but it seems likely that the Nismo's 197bhp 1.6-litre turbocharged engine will have been uprated from 197bhp to around 230bhp.
Porsche
Porsche's new Macan SUV will be revealed to the world in LA. The Macan will become the cheapest Porsche model in the range and is expected to become the manufacturer's volume seller. Engines will include V6 petrols, four-cylinder petrols and diesels, with power outputs ranging from 190bhp to 395bhp. Also on show will be the new 911 Turbo and Turbo S Cabriolets.
Subaru
Subaru will unveil its new WRX in LA, following on from the WRX concept revealed at the New York Motor Show earlier this year. It's unclear whether the new car will be sold in the UK. Also on show will be the new Legacy Concept which celebrates 25 years of the Legacy while hinting at the styling direction Subaru will take with future models.
Volkswagen
The new Volkswagen Twin-up! will be making simultaneous debuts at both the LA and Tokyo Motor Shows. Fitted with the same diesel-electric hybrid drivetrain found in the XL1, the Twin-up! is capable of returning 257mpg and emits just 27g/km.
