If you’re like Roadshow’s editorial team, you’ve got a bucket list of automotive experiences, car shows and races you’re keen to check off. Unfortunately, for most of us, it’s all but impossible to find the time and resources to tick more than one or two boxes off that checklist per year. But you’ve got to start somewhere, so why not start with us?

Auto shows might just be the best way to get a sense of what you might want to park in your driveway next, but they’re also excellent family outings, in part because there are always things to catch a child’s eye and capture their imagination. At this week’s LA Auto Show, there’s a good chance one of those things will be the Barbie Extra Car, a full-size two-seat convertible designed to promote Mattel’s range of fashion dolls and accessories.
