Motorshows in Asia

Motorshows are always fun and exciting events that show case new, future and current cars. The big named car makers will take the chance to display their technology and new concepts to tease the public on what will come soon. Of course we cannot forget the beautiful models that are also part of the motorshow.

In Asia the best motorshows to visit are Tokyo (because of all the new technology and numerous concepts on display), Thailand (being the Detroit of South East Asia), Shanghai (China car companies take the opportunity to show how far they have come and their new models due to be launched) and Korea (Kia and Hyundai have made great improvement in terms of design and technology it is worthwhile checking out their latest cars). These motorshows bring an element of excitement to the motoring industry. These shows are so popular that over one weekend over 100,000 visitors will flock to the shows.

On the opposite end of the scale, the worst shows to visit in Asia are the KL International Motorshow in Malaysia and the Singapore motorshow. Both of these shows are a complete waste of time as 30% of the major car makers are absent from the show leaving the event somewhat disappointing. Missing big names is one issue but showing mostly current models that are already sold in the showrooms really means that the visitors have nothing new to see at the show. To makes matters worst, the cars are locked and visitors are not permitted to open the doors to view the interior!

If you happen to be in Tokyo, Bangkok, Shanghai or Seoul during motorshow season, make sure you don't miss out and spend half a day to visit these shows. On the other hand if you happen to be in Kuala Lumpur and Singapore during Motorshow season.. don't bother wasting your money. you can see the same cars at car dealerships for free!
