Automakers from all over the world are scheduled to have showcases in LA, but don’t expect a fleet of Kia Rios and Toyota Siennas to flood the showroom. The auto show confirmed today that over 63 percent of the 30 debuting vehicles will be luxury and performance vehicles.

Audi looks to be the frontrunner for 2014’s showstealer, with three global debuts and eight total unveilings. One entrant is predicted to be a four-door concept that will flaunt Audi’s new design language and preview a potential A9 flagship.

The suped-up Chrysler 300 SRT may be headed for pasture, but the revamped and refreshed Chrysler 300 and 300 C have confirmed appearances at the auto show, as has the new Cadillac ATS-V.

Land Rover has arranged the North American introduction of its new Discovery Sport crossover as well. On the other end of the spectrum, the MINI hardtop four-door and Superleggera concept are expected to be displayed.

Additionally, BMW will unmask convertible versions of the 228i and M235i, and it will do so alongside the world debuts of two new vehicles.

News models from Chevrolet (Corvette ZR1, anybody?), Mercedes, Mazda, Scion, Lexus, Volkswagen, and Porsche are slated to appear at the ceremony, and the attached Connected Car Expo will serve as an exhibit for the latest in groundbreaking automotive tech.
