I have never thought that much about cars. As long as it gets me from A to B with the best competitive rates and a stylish exterior, I'm sold. What else can you talk about in a car..? It appears that is not the case at all.
First things when you walk into the show rooms with the different manufacturers. They have already laid the whole floor with cars. Of different models, different packages, some different colours. Finding your car isn't just picking one which gets you to point A to B.
But keeps you comfortable, be reliable and efficient, lastly and most importantly, keep you safe. And when you take a look at the booths or talk to the representatives, they will explain all brand new features available in their models. They basically talk like sales representatives. That is because you can actually place orders for cars.
I personally love the stylish cars. I want to drive down the road in style. But Lamborghinis are way out of my league. I got to see some pretty sleek cars at the show.
Which leads me to the next point. I love seeing their concept vehicles from each manufacturer. They are either very unique and won't be making it into the marketplace anytime soon, or they look sporty in the way that makes me want it. >W< ! Aside from just concept cars, the old concept idea of using electricity for cars have finally grown. At the show, there were a noticeable amount of hybrid technology cars. Of course, the Chevrolet Volt was there.
Hyundai Concept Car, several concepts there had these kinds of doors. Maybe its becoming reality soon?
Concept cars, normal cars. What about SUPER CARS? Of course they had them.
However unlike the common cars, these did not let you ride in them, there were fences around them so no one could enter. Boo.
Lamborghini Brand, most people know about them, extremely expensive and seem to like straight lines more than curves like most brands
Lexus super car, LFA, very nice looking (and Im sure performs extraordinary too)... but no money ;_;
Hmm... so concepts, common and exotic cars are all present. What if I'm rich, I can afford exotics. Were there any collector cars?
In fact, there were. I don't know if there were going to be auctions, but I wouldn't even think about attempt to obtain one of those.
1972 Fiat Dino (Oh, Fiat made an appearance at this autoshow, it was my first time hearing that name, but apparantely, it has been around alot longer o_o)
If those weren't old enough for you... how about this one?
LOL ! It was just brought in to show that that Mercedes was the fathers of automobile and that was their early vehicles.
That basically covers the whole show. There were other smaller things. They had an area to drop off your kids. They had vendors to sell toy cars. Several food courts were around the building. Oh, they also have a room where they show you the cars which won awards.
Lastly, there weren't much freebies. Just bags to hold your brochures or books that you can get at the booths. Sadly. Well, thanks for reading till the end.
